What did you to today?

Someone was at work in Texas. Anyone from this forum?

I've been traveling on the Côte d'Azur for 3 days now and haven't seen a single Grenadier. The French don't seem to have discovered the Grenadier yet. Tomorrow I'm going to Monaco. Let's see what it looks like there. Maybe I'll put on my Grenadier T-shirt. Let's see if my coming out helps me to be approached.

Good luck in Monaco @rovie. I passed through there last year and only saw these tacky low budget rides. Nary a Grenadier to be seen

Closest I saw in Monaco last year

Yes, they don't attach that much importance to cars in the corner down there. I think the posh Grenadiers are well protected in the underground garages. Let's see, maybe I'll meet Sir Jim.

They don`t drive the Grenadier, because you pay twice with co2 Anti Pollution Tax around 70.000€ per car.

CO₂-Strafsteuer in Frankreich: Bis zu 70.000 Euro werden ab 2025 fällig

Frankreich setzt schon seit Jahren auf Strafsteuern für Käufer von Spritschluckern. Für 2025 scheinen die geradezu zu explodieren. Bis zu 70.000 Euro Aufschlag sind möglich.

It wasn't easy to find a berth. The set-up work for the Monaco Grand Prix is in full swing. I didn't see a single Grenadier. But it would stand out here. Nobody turns around after the G models.

Today I fitted a stop start deactivation lever so no more forgetting to activate
stop and start. Quality is fantastic and it’s looks more like an aeroplane cockpit.

That one is cool. I have another vehicle that requires the button push, so I’m sitting tight for the moment.

I'm wondering if there's another means of disabling the stop /start. ie a systems hack instead of a mechanical switch "impeder"
Our Subaru Impreza has S/S by default... unless one disables it each time the ignition is cycled. It is cancelled when towing like the Grenadier.
On the Impreza, the S/S is cancelled when the spring loaded cover for the 7pin trailer socket is kept open. There's a small plastic coated magnet spanning two adjacent pin sockets embedded in the spring loaded socket cover. When closed, the S/S function is activated, when open, it's suppressed. The simple hack was to remove the magnet ! No trouble codes,no automatic reversion to S/S...

I inserted a 13/7 adapter I have for hitching a box trailer into the standard Grenadier trailer plug but the S/S function was still active (although I hadn't connected the trailer plug)

So: I'm wondering if a dummy 13 pin plug with resistors between one or more of the pins and the earth pin on the cable input side, to emulate a load would suffice to disable the S/S function. Simply leave the plug in the socket until it's removed for trailer connection....

While I'm handy with a soldering iron, calculating the resistive load and which pins to connect is probably better left to someone with more understanding. There are several "EE"s on this forum...might this be a feasible solution?

Might disable your rear parking sensors at the same time ?

input a S/S disabled on my son’s Crosstrek. It allows the S/S button to hold whatever setting you choose.

Did the same - posted a picture on another thread. Totally agree about the high quality.

I don’t think there is anyway around it. I mean someone posted to jam the button using a thin piece of cardboard or something which also works but despite the costs this looks good in my opinion.
