How can I disable the stop/start system on my Audi A4?

I'm looking to turn off the stop/start system on my 2018 Audi A4. Is there a way to disable it permanently or at least until the next ignition cycle?

To permanently disable the stop/start system on your Audi A4, you will need to visit your local dealership and get a software update from Audi. This will require a service appointment and may incur a cost depending on your warranty and service plan.

If you do not want to visit the dealership, there is a temporary workaround that will disable the stop/start system until the next ignition cycle. You can press and hold the stop/start button for 10 seconds while the vehicle is in park. However, keep in mind that this will need to be done every time you start the car.

One solution to permanently disable the stop/start system on your Audi A4 is to install an aftermarket module, which can be purchased online. These modules trick the car into thinking the hood is always open, thus preventing the stop/start system from engaging.
