@Haylands; had contact with Patrick from GAP. Unfortunately this mod is only possible for the 2017+ L405. So no option for me

Think I'm going to try the "Stan-modification" again (disconnecting the rear cubby battery or signal wire to capacitor). When I did this before I got once the "restricted performance" message. I'll be prepared  2013 L405 3.0 TdV6 Autobiography Barolo Black

NB: The YouTube Video above from Lucky8 refers to the new Defender L663, for the L405 it’s slightly different:

Ign ON with iiD tool connected, press centre console switch to turn off Auto Start Stop. (No need for engine to be running) Then in iiD Tool Menu>CCF>Full List>Search:

“Multican-566 MHLastUserMode : 565” and select it.

Change value to “Last user memory mode enabled”.

Upload changes.

On cycling the ignition next time the car is started, the button in the centre console will illuminate to indicate ASS is turned OFF, and will remember its last setting each time the ignition is cycled, allowing you to choose whichever way you want it in future.

@rangie, that method worked on my 2015 tdv6 and now on my 2020 sdv6..both had the capacitor signal wire disconnected and no errors... ... - .- -.

@Stan:

You could now reconnect and do the iiD tool mod with your new car, allowing you to turn it back on (and off) at the touch of a button, say if you get stuck in a huge motorway tail-back and don’t want to waste fuel. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

@Stan, thank you for bringing this up again. I plan to disconnect the capacitor signal wire but don't know which one that is. Do you, or someone else possibly have e clear picture of that (location/colorcode)? Or perhaps point me to the right wiring diagram? In which wiring diagram is this capacitor signal wire shown?

Just been out to try and sort this annoying feature with my iid tool which is complete list enabled,but I can’t find it anywhere on mine.
Is it under another title for the l405? 2016 4.4 diesel

Yes, sorry Tdtj.

I’ve edited my post above to clarify.  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

@Stan....Been looking in the RHS rear, took away the panel and couldn't find anything like the picture you posted.... Am I looking in the wrong place?
Do you (or someone out there) have any idea where to find the capacitor signal wire. Would be very pleased with a picture of where it is located. Many thanks!!
Here are some pictures of what I saw in my FFRR
Overview

you dont have a capacitor, you have an aux battery....disconnect that. ... - .- -.

@Rangie4fun:

You don’t have a capacitor, you have an aux battery instead.
(Its a case of either/or)
Simply disconnect the negative terminal & wrap with insulating material.

Snap! Lol, Stan pipped me to the post!  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
