Start- Stop Disabling module ( Aftermarket)
I found this Start-Stop feature in my T-roc more annoying than useful. I don't care how much petrol it saves, rather I am more concerned about it's effect on the life of engine, starter motor and battery. It also cuts off engine before car comes to complete halt, didn't understand the logic behind it. Though VW has given button to disable it, we need to press it every time engine is restarted. I wish VW had given memory function to this button to remember the last selection.
There are two ways to disable start - stop function permanently. Coding changes in gateway or a aftermarket plug and play module. I decided to go with the later.
I bought this module from AliExpress:

It's just a 5 minutes job, if we know how to remove the central console trim. Works well
It disables start- stop right after ignition is turned on.
Sellers description, but I didn't understand what they meant by service mode.
So far so good, no errors in autoscan.

Thanks for the info my dear Doctor
and Master.
I believe, 'without technical data' (just personal technical experience), that the Star/Stop system was the culprit for the refrigerant/oil leak trough the A/C compressor shaft in our Golf.
viewtopic.php?p=593479#p593479
The leak began after a long trip (about 2000km) at an ambient temperature of +40ΒΊC
with the A/C running at 100%, and it is very possible that the cooling process of some parts of the engine was not adequate during some traffic jams or stops at rest/service areas.
I will test the adaptation method at GW for the next summer.
[VN]_Start_stop_voltage_limit:
[LN]_start_stop_voltage_limit: 7.8 [UN]_V ...
to 12V

This reminds me that I still have to install the 140A Alternator to test it.
After overcoming those 'small' health setbacks, I already thought that everything was solved.

Boot ( mat/ tray/ Inlay ) whatever you call it.
My dealer delivered me this 6 months after I ordered, better late than never I thought. VW says it's made of thermoplastic material. Looks cheap quality but fits perfectly. Easy to remove and wash
Before:
Now:

Dressed up the armrest lid with cover from AliExpress. https://a.aliexpress.com/_omv0dZo
Very good quality, made of soft velvet material and fits perfectly

It is not usual for accidents/incidents to occur at random, they usually occur due to a combination or sum of circumstances.
I hope everything went well in such circumstances because Ganesh
protected you from any obstacle on the road.

Thank you for your concern dear Master, nothing untoward happend that day. As I live in a place close to forest, wild animal sightings are very common. They usually won't attack unless provoked. The forest department has set certain rules to follow while driving inside forest zones( No selfies with animals
no feeding, no stopping, no honking / flashing headlights etc...) in place. But still human-animal conflicts do happen often due to either human stupidity or unpredictable animal behaviour.
Only once few years back, had a close encounter with a baby elephant, when it suddenly jumped on to road in front of my Polo, luckily my speed was low and braked hard instinctively. Poor baby got scared and ran back to it's herd unharmed
In such unusual situations, good fog lamps are very helpful in visualising animals standing sideways on forest roads during night drives.

I'm glad to know that everything went well.
If I saw an elephant on the side of the road where I live, I would either be dreaming or I would die of fear...
I have to say that in the place where I live there is also wildlife transit on the roads, but of medium or small size, such as deer, wild boar, foxes, lynx, otters and other mustelids, rabbits, all types of rodents and an immense number of bird species... etc.
When driving at night, the most effective way to avoid a collision with wildlife is to sound the horn forcefully but briefly and repeatedly so that the animals can orient themselves and flee, otherwise they are blinded by the light of the headlights and the collision is inevitable.
The matrix headlights with dynamic light assist also help a lot for these situations... along with my predictive SCLs.
