Is it possible to set the Eco mode off by default using IIDTool? i'm getting sick of pressing so many buttons every time I start the car.
I've read it's possible to disable it by removing a battery terminal but i'd prefer to just default to off with the option of enabling it via the button if that's possible
We have looked at the basics for this one but it would require a bit more work to implement. We may revisit this feature and allow disabling if technically feasible in time but I cannot put a date of release.

Nope, come to a stop, engine cuts out, select neutral, apply park brake, release foot brake, engine starts, on this one anyway.
I like the stop start, it's good for the environment and hopefully saves a little fuel ?
My problem is that it operates once on a journey and than never again during my 45 min trip to work, where it should be operating lots.
I end up turning the engine off sometimes when I'm in a long queue, which is a pain.
Is this a fault ?

My MY15 had a stop/start fault and LRA did a software update for it in my office car park. It worked.
Is your D4 still under warranty? If it is get LRA to sort it, they'll probably replace the battery if needed. 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE

Saves a little fuel - possibly, but if you were that bothered you'd have bought something else.
And I'd rather use a little more fuel and have less risk of the engine doing one.Mark.

If the time delay before activation was say 10 seconds from stationary then i could live with it ..but its embarasing trying to park the thing stop select reverse and bloody things switched off ...ridiculous and not fit for purpose i switch it off as soon as i get in the car
But, if there were a 10 second delay and it were possible to to disable it permanently, we'd still be paying the higher rate of VED, so I'd suggest that it's entirely fit for purpose
Sorry I really can't agree, in fact au contraire:-
1. There must be increased wear on the starter motor & ring gear.
2. There must be increased engine wear, particularly to main bearings, caused by multiple starts.
I accept that this wear may well not become apparent until well after the warranty has expired - but it must be a concern for those of us who keep their cars more than 3 or 4 years.
