Stop/Start function override not working

[MauriceG’Rage]

I’ve just purchased a stop/start override gizmo for my 2021 Cali Ocean. It works if the time between manually stopping the engine and starting again is quite short - but anything over a few minutes it “forgets” the selection and reverts to standard start/atop.

Now I think I recognise the smell of bovine dung, and the seller tells me “Hello, this model does not have a memory function, so it will not remember previous settings. It seems that the starter-stopper has been permanently disabled after installation” and I’m going to send it back anyway but I’m asking the forum, has anyone got one that works - and where did you get it?

Start / Stop Function = button delete

I hate the start stop function with a passion. it cannot be good for the engine despite the marketing BS. IMO it assists the manufacturer attain false emissions claims at the cost of wear and tear to the engine. I always try to remember to switch it off, but quite often forget until the stop...
