Just reprogram the ECU

In addition to what EdP said... just learn to live with it. It's a lot smaller deal than people make it.

It is both an eco factor and safety factor. People have left cars running in the garage and died from it. That feature could save a life. Unusual to need a car idling that long.

I believe the OP was talking about the ISG, which, as far as I know, does not kick in while in PARK.

Ah, some will shut down after idling 30 minutes. Perhaps he needs a bread clip.

You can buy a small cable that reverses the setting of the auto-stop button: instead of defaulting to auto-stop, it defaults to no auto-stop. Pressing the button still reverses the setting. The kit sells on AliExpress for maybe $20. But caution: I bought one and for the life of me I can't install it. My hands are too big to get into the area where the kit installs. There's a video on YouTube that shows how to install it, but there is no way I can do what the guy in the video does. I suggest you watch the video and then practice doing a ghost install. If you have no problems, go ahead and order the device.

Technically, what it does is press the auto-stop button briefly just after startup each time, disabling the system until or unless you press the button again.

Here is a low tech solution that works perfectly and doesn’t appear to cause any damage. It’s a plastic bread bag clip

A little more information would help. Does it matter if it is white, rye, or wheat? Is there risk that the bread goes stale faster without the clip? Do you have to change it depending on the printed expiration date?

A $60,000 vehicle with a bread bag clip jammed in.
Maybe I'll go high tech and 3D print one that says "ISG Sucks!"

Genesis Auto Stop/Start Disabler by JhonB

Hi, I have a Genesis 2021 GV80. The car will default back to auto stop/start when the car is shut off. I was using one of those flat plastic bread ties to hold the switch to the disabled position, but I was worried it would get pushed in too far and I would lose it behind the switch. So I made...

This is what you need. I have it installed. PITA removing the panel, but I wasn't able to plug it in w/o removing it.

The bypass cable from Ali is what I have also. It was easy to pry off the front panel and with the help of my wife's small hands it was maybe a 5 minute install start to finish.

I don't get it. Seems easier and only takes literally a second just to push the button after start-up.

You are certainly not wrong, but I also understand that the feeling of it just being something that they shouldn't have to do. If I could get a similar device that would automatically apply the parking brake everything I shut the engine off, I would likely do so, even though pulling that switch is habit now.

I agree it just seems the "fix" is more cumbersome than just pushing the button. Yes, my wife drives a Mazda3 Hatchback because she loves lil hatchbacks and it applies the parking brake automatically after shutting the engine off. It's a nice feature.

If I use Auto Hold my brake goes on at shutdown. Don't recall if other models did that though.

I specifically asked them to delete this feature from the recent GV70s I bought and I'm very happy they complied.
