I present the Auto Start/Stop Temporary fix

I followed @IslandFalconer's lead and used an L-shaped piece, but I 3D printed it in black and it works and blends in seamlessly. Thanks for the great idea!

@TelRidan - Do you mind sharing your print file?

Sure. I will have to get it off of my son's computer as the printer is in his room. Might take until tomorrow.

What thickness does the piece need to be?

A business card folded in half thickness, I used the leg off of a fuse.

This cut off end of a cable tie has been working since November when I picked up my Quartermaster. Cost $0. Time 2 seconds.

Still waiting on my teenager to send me the file, but should definitely have it this afternoon. It's super simple, just an "L" shape in the right size to provide the friction to prevent the Start/Stop button from moving around. Same as all the other solutions. Just blends in a bit better if you care about that kind of stuff. ;-P

God damn.. I forgot to turn off auto start/stop yesterday.. was doing a 2 point turn in the middle of the road to reverse into my driveway. Fking engine stopped as I was turning the steering wheel and shifting into R, steering went stiff.. then .75 sec later car came back to life agin. All while in the middle of the road whilst trying to navigate this 2 point turn.

Again another example of sht programming to blame Ineos on. I mean there has to be a way to differentiate a gradual, straight stop to a red light, versus what I was doing - wheels turned, shifting to R, actively driving. You don’t turn off the engine in the latter scenario!

Guarantee these fkers didn’t test the vehicle for 1 million miles

Just how hard can it be to wait 2 seconds before activating? (As opposed to to 2 milliseconds)

But you survived. Be grateful for the little things.
