Is there a permanent means to stop it?

 

depends upon the year

 

I did in my 2017 Td6 by pulling the plug in the back (in a thread here somewhere).

 

I did same on my 17 Si6 over this past weekend. Takes just a few minutes and I used the same thread as reference. Did they every find the connection for the later production years?

On the negative battery terminal you can find a small plug, disconnect this and your done.

 

What year and model is the one you disconnected the small plug on the negative terminal?
Please take a picture for us.

 

2017 HSE td6. I can post a pic later. It is the same connection that I have on VW petrol from 2020 which of course does the same thing to disable the s/s. It does not affect anything else. It is the only connection on the neg side of the battery, easy to locate.


The plug here that is on your neg terminal

 

Mine's a 2017 HSE Si6 so I will have to see if it's the same.
I have had my auto stop disabled for a couple years with by disconnecting the voltage quality module connector as shown on this forum with no ill effects.
But if I have that connector that you have, I might reconnect my voltage quality module and try your method.
I've always felt there must be a reason they installed a voltage quality module and that without it I have lessor voltage quality somewhere.
Thanks. I'll wait for your picture.
