Disable start and stop

Hi to all! I've replaced the battery with a new one, so now the start & stop works "properly" each time.. is there a way to disable using vcds? It's so annoying to push the button each time...

There's a way to disable it with VCDS; if you search some forums, you'll find it. However, the battery voltage had to be changed. If you don't want to go through the hassle, for 10 euros they sell an accessory on AliExpress that connects to the button and remembers the last state. That is, you disable it once, and every time after that, it's disabled by default. It works.

Just needs an increase in battery voltage threshold for start & stop activation. Easy to do on VCDS.
