I present the Auto Start/Stop Temporary fix

3d print something that you can screw into that square.

Interesting. I could imagine a mount for a phone or something where it sat in and allowed permanent deactivation and was attached with the four screws. Very low though to be glancing down.

Already did the Zip tie, it popped out, also hard to grab.

I don't know why you don't think this is a 3d print type job. I printed a tractor bucket that was 1/2 mm thick and it was crazy strong.

Appreciate the encouragement!

Meh, there are tools and materials for everything. I use 3D printing largely for prototyping parts that will eventually be machined out of steel or the like. Also makes for great jigs.

I guess my point is an appropriately sized zip tie or some light metal that can be cut with heavy duty kitchen shears is faster than drawing up a part, prepping the printer and waiting for it to print. And the thin nature of the wedge needed could end up leaving a chunk of plastic in your switch if the layers don't adhere well.

Now, draw up something that covers the switch completely and is held on by the four screws and doubles as some other fun item!! I'm in on that idea.

On a side note, I got to mess with one of the first viable small laser metal sintered 3D printers ever built. Probably back around 2004-2005. Was an amazing thing back then. Got to watch them make an anatomically correct titanium femur. Same weight as the real femur.

I present my auto stop/start fix

I'm with Eric. It's like when a pilot gets into a plane there are a bunch of switches he flips while getting ready to move. I go through the process below everytime I start the motor.

1. Start Motor
2. Allow Bluetooth and carplay to come on
3. Hit the auto start/stop button
4. Hit the favorites button to disable the speed clicking sound
5. Shift into a gear and roll out
