+1!

I believe your statistics are spot on!

Here’s a thread about how to defeat the Auto Start/Stop function.

Several trusted forum members vouch for this solution and say it works.

I've had mine for about 9 months now and I'm probably a little higher...50%. That said, having this function on an app is just a waste, it should be on the key. I hardly ever use the app and it's functionality is just blah, most of the time. Pretty big "fail" by MB, IMO...so what do they do, come out with an updated app that SEEMS to be better, but isn't backwards compatible. Nice work MB...
