Sorry for the noob questions but I only had the car for a few hours.
qusetion: Does every car (m235i) comes with some kind of usb cable? Also I think my dealer already coded my car to shut off auto start/stop at start-up but need to confirm...so when I start my car the auto s/s button already have the amber light "on" Reason I didnt ask my CA is cuz my wife and kid was with me picking up the car and we were in a rush, thx

1) I didn't get a usb cable
2) The auto start/stop only works once the car is warmed up and the cabin is the correct temperature. I think the dealer I bought the car through did the same thing though because it does seem to remember the last setting...not a complaint! |

If the amber light is on, it means the Start-Stop is deactivated. The engine won't turn off at stops. If the amber light is off, it means Start-Stop is activated and may turn off at stops if the computer feels like it. It's easy to check the behavior. Turn on your car. Press the button until the amber light turns on. Turn the car off. Restart the car. Is the light still on? That means the car remembers the last setting. In my car, for example, the light will always be off when I start the car.

I noticed this as well. I expected ASS to be working and realized that not only had I disabled it, but that it also appeared to be remembering the last setting. I'll have to test it out more extensively. But I thought it was interesting

I got no cable also. And as others have said when the light is on it means the auto-stop feature is off. I think it should be the opposite when the light is on the auto-stop feature is on and when the light is off it means its off. But who am I to think such a thing. LOL

No cable with my ED. Bought the $30 y-cable for iPod off amazon and it's working fine.

The auto start stop will reset to ON if you have the mode set to ECO. If the mode is set to Comfort, Sport, or Sport+, the auto start stop persists at it set position. So just turn it off once, the keep the car in mode "comfort" or above.

Not true. The auto start stop is always off in sport and sport+. It only works in ECO and comfort mode.
