Quite a few people have turned stop start off using VCDS.
The change also reverses the warning light operation too.

7P Auto Stop/Start Function Button Not Working
I have a 2012 7P 4xMotion. My wife recently spilt her coffee on the centre console area and since event we can no longer turn the stop/start function off. The stop/start function of the vehicle still work fine, and no errors are displayed anywhere.
The traction control button, 4WD engagement dial, ride setting dial and suspension setting control (Sport, normal comfort) all work as per normal. I removed the centre panel around the transmission selector and unplugged the cabling to the control unit for the module for the above functions and cleaned with contact cleaner. There was no major evidence of coffee ingression. Once reconnected and assembled, tested again and the auto stop/start button to turn system off still doesn't work (everything else is fine). The light which used to come on on the auto stop/start button when turned off is also no longer working.
Is there a fuse for this function that may have blown or am I going to need to find a new module? If so, can someone provide a part number list for this?
I've searched everywhere on different forums for a like case, but have not been able to resolve or solve issue to date.
Thanks,
Luke

Common problem during my time in the air force when aircrew dropped coffee in aircraft switch panels, it happens. We used to strip out the switches, soak them in a gentle solvent for a couple of hours, lubricate them, test and refit if working. The coffee basically varnishes the contacts when it dries and needs soaking to remove.I have a 2012 7P 4xMotion.

oh, aircrew also had to buy us a slab of beer for dropping the stuff in the first place. Went some way to repay the hours we spent cleaning the mess up and testing all affected systems because of their clumsiness
Is that still doable and can it be done with OBDeleven? Reading elsewhere that the adaptation might have been removed on other VAG cars.Quite a few people have turned stop start off using VCDS.

They did it in Domestic Airlines as well but they have "trolley dollys: OPPPS can't say that... cabin attendants to serve and mop up the mess -- however it still stuffed the audio selector panels and radio tunning heads.Common problem during my time in the air force when aircrew dropped coffee in aircraft switch panels, it happens.
