Deactivate Start&Stop (ISG)

any chance of a video how to install these, some of us are terrified at even taking of the trim off never fitting a module lol :)
I was going to put a fitment guide together for when I had made up some modules, but I can get it done sooner so you can see what's involved

got ya my line thinking was if it easy ill buy one if looks a bit dodgy for me ill be a pussy and press the button every time lol
 
Unfortunately it has to be like that by law. At least in Germany. The car has to start up in the setting, u might be able to reach the declared values for mpg...
It's not just the law in Germany but in the whole bureaucratic EU. I've talked to my dealer in Slovakia and he said, that all of this (including drive mode and cruise control) has to be like that because of safety regulations. Altering the control unit means loosing your warranty. The only safe option would be from Richard I guess.

There is no difference between this method and manually pushing the Buttons.
If the circuit works well, there will never be any Problem with your warranty. Sure, when you gut any issue I would remove that, because they could think it's the Bad of this thing and get less accomodating.
 
Great job Richard... Looking forward to receiving mine and going through the installation as per instructions.
Take my hat off to your electronic expertise... Very impressive.

Ok...i have just installed Richards module and all is working perfectly.

Pretty straight forward if you have the Winter Pack on your car....a little more work required if you haven`t.

Richard uses the Pink wire feed (Power for the electrically heated seats) which has an ignition on power feed.

This is redundant on cars without Winter pack...So it is necessary to get an ignition on feed from the fuse box and feed it to the module through the gearbox tunnel ...Not as difficult as it may sound.

If you have a bunch of Bananas for fingers like me ...its quite difficult to get access for removing the Female from the Male main terminal situated underneath the Gear lever shroud....and even more fiddly replacing with the extra piggy back wires attached...

However with the aid of a Swiss file poked into the release tab hole.. it becomes much easier to maneuver into position and press home with a finger underneath. see photo.

Its worth the effort though... and can highly recommend this mod....As having to keep remembering to disengage it was annoying to say the least.

I am really starting to feel sorry for you guys having to deal with the "start / stop" system. It adds no value and will not save the planet by a single second. IMO it is bad technology. I expect governments are forcing manufacturers to include this abomination into the vehicles. I would put money on the fact that not one government employee ever obtained accurate data on if this system would save fuel or emissions.
It just sounds like it would help if you are a layman.
I am just so glad our Australian government has not yet mandated such a system. :( I am sure at some point they will.
 
Even though I don't have a problem with it, it rarely ever stays off when stopped - if you're pulling to much electrical (i.e. A/C), it just turns back on itself.

Giving it some deeper thought the fact all current i30N are manual may work in your favour. I cannot see the system cutting the engine too readily when you have three pedals combined with the A/C point you made. I still feel bad for you as it still adds to the complexity and the cost if you have to have something related to the system repaired. At least you have 5 years of warranty. :)

It's not as big of a deal as you're making it ;) especially on a manual transmission. Even if you let it run it's course normally, it's not as laggy as it is on an automatic transmission...

I stand by my opinion of the technology being bad. John Cadogan does not think much of it either.
 
Hi guys,

Do any more of the interested people wish to be included on the next batch of modules?

I'm looking to order the parts needed soon. We've successfully fitted it to UK cars both with and without heated seats (thanks to Mick Harris for the assistance), and am currently trying to get the wiring confirmed on a European left hand drive car, so we can be sure they will work for you too.

Message me if you'd like one!
