Easy ECO Stop/Start disable - Applicable to cars without 2nd battery
Discussion within another thread, thought I would give it its own thread so all can benefit.
1. Remove battery liner in rear boot.
2. Remove boot (trunk) liner
3. Locate control module bottom right hand side - as you look in the boot
4. Remove the below plug and secure back with a Ty-wrap
5. Put the liners back in
When re-starting your car, the ECO button will illuminate during the system checks for a few seconds and then extinguish.
ECO Stop/Start will no longer function.
No errors are flagged on the display unless you press the ECO button, and it will show that ECO Stop/Start is unavailable.
ENJOY!

The petrol filler lock is not fitted to the NAS cars. So it's not a case of activating it or plugging it in, it's completely missing...

If some have more info on the missing pieces, I think we'd like to know ....

OMG it's haunted!
I pulled the black plug to disable the auto start about two months ago. Everything has been fine until today. The auto start switch light goes off after a few seconds.
I was in the gas lineup at Costco (yeah, I know...). when the auto start came to life. It worked about three of four times with the light coming on in the center display and the switch was lit.
BUT THE BLACK PLUG WAS STILL UNPLUGGED!
It may be something to do with the combination of a quick start and then a quick stop before the switch light goes off. But it sure was freaky.

It may have been your cars reluctance to drink Costco Fuel ? ;-)

There's a forum member in New Jersey who could do it too...

I did this 6 moths ago with no issues.
But I did notice that I can also no longer manually raise and lower the spoiler...
It still comes up and goes down at speed, but the console switch does nothing.
This is not a big deal to me, but I was wondering if others had seen the same...?
