Disabling the Start/Stop system

Always in control. No more unexpected stops.

Does your car automatically shut off the engine every time you stand still? For example, at a traffic light or in a traffic jam? That's the start/stop system. Well-intentioned, but in practice often irritating or even inconvenient. At EYE4AUDIO we switch this system professional and permanent out, with no error messages or malfunctions.

A small adjustment with a big impact on your driving comfort.

What exactly does the start/stop system do?

The start/stop system is designed to save fuel and reduce emissions. As soon as you come to a stop (for example, at a traffic light), the car automatically shuts off the engine. As soon as you press the clutch or release the brake pedal, the engine starts again.

Smart in theory. But in practice, it often results in frustration:

  • Engine stalls at times when you need to react quickly

  • Restart feels jerky or delayed

  • Air conditioning temporarily drops out when turning off

  • The starter motor and battery wear out faster

  • In traffic jams, ramps or short stops, the system operates unpredictably

  • You simply prefer to be in control yourself

Why choose to switch off?

Many cars allow you to manually turn off the system with a button, but...
After every ride, it defaults back on. So you have to turn it off again and again. This is not only irritating, but also unnecessary.

At EYE4AUDIO, we completely disable the start/stop system. No temporary settings or hacks. Just neatly software-based or via a discrete module. Once properly set up, and you never have to worry about it again.

How do we turn off the system?

Depending on your car, we disable the start/stop system via:

  • Software coding: through the OBD port, we permanently disable the function in the ECU or central module.

  • Discrete module: a clever electronic solution that disables the system software-wise, without you noticing anything.

Both methods are safe, trouble-free and do not affect other functions of your car. Everything works as usual - only your engine stays on when you want it to.
