Auto Start/ Stop
At last, finally managed to code this to remember last setting (Yeh I know it's standard in the US, unfortunately not here in the UK)
A simple wee change makes such a difference lol, it was driving me nuts! For those who want it sorted, VO code, add OMSA to HO-WORT, write fa to car, hey presto, sorted. It cannot be FDL coded for some reason as TC_MSA_MEMORY is missing in CAS in 03/2015> |

I am seriously happy for you. I turned mine off when I took delivery and never looked back. The other day I accidentally hit the switch when I started the car leaving work and after two restarts I was already going nuts. What a stupid function on a car that comes with a gas guzzler tax in the US.

I don't understand the point of this feature. You don't buy a twin-turbo V8 with 550 hp and then try to be fuel efficient.

Steve, I really want to get this sorted, but I didn't understand your post. Would you mind providing a step by step guide, or is there an online resource I could reference?

However, be aware that Mr BMW are trying to stop coders doing this and have made a lot of changes, i.e. trimmed files etc etc. To actually do it you need the latest software from TokenMaster. This can take some time get and a lot of grovelling lol. On a plus side, if your in Scotland and near lanark, I have no problem doing it for you. Just PM me and we can arrange it. Note, this is for FREE, but you need to come to me. Hope this helps. |

Getting it taken off mine was the BEST THING EVER. It really drove me crazy, even from the first day. It did cost me to get the dealer to remove it, but i was fine with that, as i am not the slightest bit techno savy, plus woudnt do anything that might void my warranty......

What you don't realize is that because the Auto Start Stop feature was added to the BMW F10 M5, hereby referred to as A.S.S. or ASS, we enjoy paying a lower gas guzzler tax, a higher EPA rating, and the ability for the car to be sold at all in the EU due to CAFE. The Twin Turbo V8 in itself is an engine that tries to be fuel efficient even if it only succeeds at it partially. If CAFE didn't exist I'm just that BMW ///M would have had no reservations about fitting an 8,500rpm V12 in the bonnet. Therefore ASS and the Twin Turbo V8 is a necessary evil in order to make environmentalists happy. I suppose we should be thankful at all that ///M still exists to make any kind of high performance engines.
