    Some cars, like mine, only allow you to temporarily disable the start-stop system, and it turns on every time you (fully) start the engine.

    In my car specifically, if you manually turn the system back on, for whatever reason you have to reach a minimum speed of 10km/h before it works.

      You can get a module that disables it, bad news is it’s like $100, but if you’ve decently good with electronics you can diy one cheaper.

        Absolutely no reason for a module on the majority of cars, especially older ones. Buy a cheap generic OBD2 adapter, pirate the coding software for your specific manufacturer, and disable it in the ECU

        At this point my muscle memory simply toggles it off as soon as the engine is on, occasionally I even manage to predict when I have to stop for more than 5 seconds and turn it on in time.
