Start/Stop keeps the engine running with climate on

At traffic lights the engine keeps running and the A/C stays on.

Odyx Pro

What changes

Climate 08, adaptation 02B0 = 00 (factory 05). While the climate control is on, the engine does not stop at standstill.

Details

Climate adaptation 02B0 'comfort parameter for Start/Stop': 05 from the factory; with 00 the climate control no longer allows the engine to be stopped. This does not switch Start/Stop off entirely: the block applies while the climate control is on (A/C or AUTO); with the climate control off the engine stops at standstill again. The method is confirmed on A4 B9 and Q5 FY; gateway (19) changes are reverted or do not work on these cars. To restore factory behaviour, use the 'factory' option or roll back from the history.

Other options

This is one option of the “Start/Stop and climate” setting: only one can be active.
