Auto Off Not Working

[Matthewstorm]

Recently noticed that the engine auto off feature stopped working. When I stop it always shows an A with a line thru it and Off. I'm driving in Normal mode so this has me perplexed. Any ideas on why this is happening? Thanks.

If you're positive that you've not bimmercoded it out then you're not meeting the conditions of auto off as in low battery, AC/heater need, etc. It's in the manual somewhere..

I have coded some things but not this. It used to work. Interesting about the heater/AC but today it was off and still happened. I'll check the manual and see what is says. Thanks.

It’s happening because your car thinks it’s dumb…

Flash your trans?

Yes, thanks, I read this last night. Unfortunately, none of it applies.

Nope.

I hate auto off. Wish they never made it. Find yourself lucky!

Are you in Drive or Manual?

Battery may be weak for auto start/stop to function so it’s disabled until it is fully charged by the alternator.

Drive.

OK, but why would the battery be weak? I drive all the time. Is there a way to check the battery health?

Consider yourself lucky! Hate that stupid feature. Thankful for BimmerCode!

Drive.

Hmm…

BimmerLink can show the battery’s charge.

And I agree with @Andrew4Supra, that shit’s pointless and annoying. Let me put more wear on my starter motor to save a teaspoon of fuel over the life of the vehicle. Real fucking smart. I’d say find out why it’s not working then code it the hell off.
