Possible to upgrate Auto Start-Stop?

[tringo007]

Hi, I have a 2013 MK7 Golf and also drove a 2014 MK7. Both these models, when engine cuts off on stop, only way to restart is to press on accelerator. With 2016+ MK7 models however, when car pulls off in front, the car restarts, clearly using the distance control sensor to detect this and restart. My 2013 MK7 also has this distance sensor for Adaptive cruise control. Is there any way to upgrade my Auto Start-Stop to have this feature (restart based on distance when car in front moves off)?

Why wouldn't you just want to disable it? It's not for saving gas, it's emissions garbage engineering

It isn't start/stop that regulates this but the ACC.

Understand, my car has ACC, can I not retrofit this capability as described originally then?

It depends if it is just programming or if extra hardware is required. Go ask your dealer.
