Auto Start Stop Delete/Disable/Eliminator for Audi A4/S4/A5/Q5 Automatic Stop&Start Engine System Cancel Device Cable

This is exactly what I was looking for. An easy way to default the auto start stop to be OFF. Was easy to install once you find the two very small slots to stick the tools in. Push them all the way in the slot and they should ‘click’ and lock and then just pull the component out to add the wire.

This product is excellent. The Audi Stop Start function is clumsy and defaults to shutting the car down at stops - this little adapter turns off the start stop as the default - sooo easy to install.

Great product and fast delivery

I installed this on a 2018 Audi Q5 Prestige. Works fine. It seemed kind of sketchy because there are no instructions. You only get a card with Chinese on it. Watch the video and you'll be good. The tool inserts have to be in with the hooks facing in. You will need both hooks as some other reviewers have noted since there are latches on both sides. To get the factory wiring harness off you may need a set of needle nose pliers to hold down the latch and a set of regular pliers to grip the wiring harness. I needed both as I didn't have enough dexterity to pull it out unaided. I didn't want to go tugging on the wires should one of them pop off, been there, done that before. It's a dead simple fix. The stop/start would be beneficial if you were stopped in traffic for like 5 minutes or more. In my location, I'm never stopped that long so the detriments outweigh the benefits. And you can always override the setting back to normal. This switch is inverting the default setting for the switch, which is what I wanted all along.

I almost forgot to write a review about this but so far so good in my '18 Q5. This should've been a thing from factory, it works exceptionally well.
