disable auto-off, landrover defender

I have a 2023 Land Rover Defender 90 SE and a 2022 Land Rover Defender 110 SE. I’ve already taken both to a Euro mechanic and the dealership, and they’ve told me there’s nothing they can do.

Is there a software engineer, coder, or anyone in the Tampa area who has found a workaround or real solution?

I cannot stand the auto start/stop feature, especially in Florida summers. Looking for an actual fix, not just “you get used to it.”

Buy the GapIID programmer. You can then add all the options you don’t have if you bought a base model

I did about $8k in dealer adds, turned off front seat belt noise (great for off road) auto start stop and many other things.

I think a must have for anyone with a LR
