freekraz Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hi all, Just bought a 2020 Crosstrek. I can't stand the engine start-stop feature. How can I disable it? Happy New Year, Jeff in Boston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZXZ3KXK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details The above link seems to permanently solve the issue for $30. Changes the function to default to OFF. Read the reviews as it appears to not include installation instructions. History: So many complained that SOA did a software upgrade to allow the user to disable this function. Now there is an option on the infotainment screen to disable the function BUT it will default to the ON position each restart. Have you updated the software on your vehicle? This can be done OTA (over the air). I read that the auto stop/start function works when you stomp on the brake pedal. Does it kick in for a soft press? Happily, this function was never available on my 2019 Outback lower end model. Edited December 30, 2023 by brus brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo F Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) On my 2021 Crosstrek I just make it a habit to push the button on the dash to turn it off every time I drive the car, as I find this feature very annoying.
