Why do you want to turn it off? A couple of my friends also have newer Audis with that system and they constantly complain about it. I, on the other hand, trained my feet and I'm very happy with the system because I do mostly city driving when I know I'm gonna be sitting on a red I press firmer and system gets activated instantly when I know the light will change quickly I press softer it became natural now like driving a stick. When my car was in the paint shop I got a jeep with that system It was horrible it would activate the minute you press the brake pedal firm or soft the system would be on. Now that would be something to complain about.

Or, train-your-brain, that as soon as your finger is pulling back from pressing the “Start /Stop” button, it goes to the disable the “Auto Start/Stop” button and presses that to disable the *** system.
It took me a couple of weeks but it’s a muscle memory now.

Oh, I don't even have the car yet but since it's my wife's car, I would like to keep it as similar to her current Audi (06 A6q) as possible at least in the beginning. She is a 'routine' person and if she needs to change her driving habit to accommodate the car then we'll have issues. She did not complain during the test drive but all it's going to take is one time for the system to misbehave and we'll have drama.
p.s. Doesn't the constant on/off put extra wear on the starter and/or the engine internals? Does the oil pressure stay up while the car is off?

I'm not sure if it's in the thread or the spreadsheet, there is an OBD11 settings that will disable *** anytime the AC is on (100% of the time vs. variability). I don't have the reference handy, but hopefully searching down that path will get you your answer.

If it turns out she does not like the ***, just have her push the button to shut it off, is that too much out of her routine for her?
