Is there any way to turn off auto start/stop or make it default to off? Thanks in advance. Car is a 2021 M760i.

There's a retrofit in ISTA, but it requires a code. That'd likely be the best solution since updates wouldn't remove the retrofit. There's also a retrofit to make the vent fan full auto, which doesn't require a code.

Since the latest update on my Z4 I can no longer disable the auto stop/start feature. Has anyone found a work around here?

BMW is moving to secure coding (even in older cars), which is why I had suggested ISTA and going the official route (since there's one available). I can confirm the VO coding I've done in E-Sys has synced with BMW's servers once I connect with my TIS account, but standalone CAFD configuration changes from E-Sys (or anything else) do not.

Did you add the option code OMSA to your G12 and it worked? For a couple years, dealers could do that as mentioned in SI B12 15 12 until BMW ended that program.

No, I haven't personally been too interested in the memory feature so haven't felt like spending an evening testing it out. I was just going to have the dealer do it next time I'm in and if they can't, was going to purchase the code online through other channels to use ISTA.

I believe the guidance on the coding forums suggests not to do so on the newer G series as this was an older retrofit code? I don't know what retrofit code the official retrofit uses and I don't recall if anything is listed under ESysUltra's shortcuts, but the FDL coding changes are pretty straight-forward. I can confirm that I've added the retrofit code (ADRV) for the Assisted Driving View and removed decoding codes for anti-dazzle on my laser lights and BMW's servers have synced these changes to AIR when I check the Vehicle Details tab.

That said, I haven't seen BMW initialize secure coding on any modules for my G12 yet, but it's possible they may do so in the (near) future. Especially since this is one of the models you can easily enable full self-driving features. The G70 is already completely locked down.

Hopefully not, especially since S15A is pretty old by now!

S15A actually covers a lot of models, but Secure Coding has already been introduced to selective modules within S15A, S15C, S18A, U006 and a few others. I believe the first ISTA release was 4.39.x, so it's a fairly new rollout. It's probably safer to assume when not if. The new vehicles are nearly totally locked down.
