How to permanently disable the auto start-stop function on Audi A4L?

Audi A4L does not have a method to permanently disable the auto start-stop function. The auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving. When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Its English abbreviation is STT (Smart Stop-Start), which is an intelligent fuel-saving system that controls engine start and stop. The all-new Audi A4L is based on the eighth-generation Audi A4 and is a technologically advanced model specifically designed to meet the needs of Chinese users. The dimensions of the vehicle are 4763mm in length, 1826mm in width, and 1426mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2869mm.
I've been driving this Audi A4L for three years, and the most annoying thing is having to manually turn off the start-stop function every time I start the car. Later, I asked a technician at the 4S店, and he said this feature can't be completely disabled because it's required by law. But he taught me a little trick: set the air conditioning temperature to the lowest and turn the fan to maximum, and the start-stop won't trigger. I tried it, and it really works. The principle is that the air conditioning prioritizes power consumption. Some people also press the brake to the critical point of the start-stop, but it feels too laborious. If you really want to solve it, you can spend two or three thousand to reprogram it, but the 4S店 won't cover this under warranty. It's recommended to check the discussion posts on online car owner forums, as modifying the car's system comes with risks.
