    Hi Andy,
    You can turn it off in the menu but it will only last until you start the car again.
    Unfortunately the stop start defaults to always on every time the ignition is cycled.
    The car can be configured to retain the last setting but this will need a GAP IID tool or similar that can edit the car configuration files.
    If you do want to do this let me know and I’ll find the settings you need to change.
    It was the first job I did when I got my D5.
    Hope this helps.

    You can program the function of the "favourite " (diamond) button on the steering wheel to turn off stop-start. You'll still need to press it every journey, but it's just one button press.

    Hi, yes I’m sure it can’t be good for the car and used to drive me mad if I forgot to disable it.
    The details are here in this excellent post from Mole:

    Certainly for the facelift cars you will need the current GAP tool as unfortunately the newer cars use a different protocol. Not sure about the earlier models.

    Thanks Baz.

    The MY2017+ D5 needs the G4 version of the IID tool. The G3 version has limited functionality on a D5, the G2 version has even less. Not sure if you can upgrade the G2 version to the G4, I'd email GAP support and ask first. Currently, the IID tool doesn't cover MY2026 models.

    I upgraded my IID tool from the G3 I bought for the Disco 4 to the G4 version via the GAP website. The upgrade costs £220 and involves you sending the G3 version back to GAP Diagnostics in Canada (postage is included in the cost), they then send you a new G4 version by return post.

    The upgrade isn't cheap (cheaper than buying a new one)...but you get what you pay for with an IID tool, it does exactly what it says on the tin. I even bought a fancy schmancy hardshell case for mine. eBay link
    ...Custom designed, 3D printed to very high quality in ABS and sold by a D5 owner and forum member. You know you want one... Wink

    The newest JLR vehicles (including the current D5 models) have locked down the CCF. Making even the Gen4 IID just a code reader on these vehicles.

    Quote:
    For model year 2026, JLR implemented Secured Diagnostic in certain region including Europe and Australia. Functions are limited for these cars, CCF and Flashing for example cannot be used.
