Any thoughts how to activated it again???

Thanks+Regards

Good luck,

Sure...It is one of the settings where you choose brake depress to start in Durametric and choose "not active". I am not as familiar with Piwis coding. If there is documentation, you may be able to search for "start" or "brake" ?

Good luck,

Is your car tuned for mafless?

This is a symptom of enabling brake boosting.

thats ideal, why would you want to have to press the brake to start it? Plenty of situations that you might need to spin it over without being on the brakes.

stupid little 250$ switch in my vanquish that went bad and keeps it from going out of N into Gear unless foot is on brake. thought my gearbox went when it was just al little pressure switch........
