Deactivating 991 Auto Stop/Start Permanently

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, so please forgive me if I violate any of the "unspoken rules". My question is about the 991's Auto Stop/Start. In my 2012 Cayenne S, I was able to deactivate the feature by pressing that button in the center console and it would stay that way every time I started the car, until I pressed the button again to re-activate it. However, in my C4, the computer doesn't seem to remember this setting after I turn off the car and reactivates the feature so I have to press the button again the next time I start.
The dealership told me that "that's just how it is" on the 991s and that there's no way to "permanently" deactivate Auto Stop/Start. Just wondering if anyone else here has any experience/input on this matter.
Thanks!

My 2013 Boxster has the auto start/stop function and it remembers the last setting when I get back in to drive again. Mine is a base model with virtually no options, so I would imagine the 991 can do the same.

For each key, you need to press the Memory Button and then press Button #3 (the one with a tiny little picture of a key next to the three). That's how you save, for each key, the personal comfort settings such as door locks, lights, radio stations & settings and Auto Start/stop.

I have the Adaptive Sports Seats Plus option and although Porsche's Technical Specs page doesn't explicitly mention that it memorizes Auto Stop/Settings, I'd still expect it to do so...
EDIT: I went back and read the page again, and it does say this, "Auto Start Stop Function, retains last selected setting after vehicle restart"... I guess I'll call the dealership again...

So I guess I'll have to get used to pressing that button... If anyone else has any other info on sorting this out, I'd really appreciate it.

I have a 2013 991S with PDK and somehow the Auto Stop never Auto Stops the engine. The light on the switch is on permanently since delivery. On the reversing mirror issue there is a thread either here or on Rennlist that describes in detail how to have the mirror go where you want it when you go into reverse.
