Hi Dackel,
In our quest for creative solutions, here's another idea: removal of fuse #36:
- it only services the START/STOP (fuse #36 is nowhere else indicated in the fuse box diagram) (so probably no other side effects);
- easy to spot in the fuse box: the only fat orange one (40 Ampère) in the second row inside the fuse box;
- more easy to remove than tiny #74 (you can use your fingers instead of the red plier) + probably no need to unbuckle the glove box because not as low positioned as fuse #74 + bigger fuse size;
- unlikely to make a mistake: non of the remaining five fuse slots in that block are used.
Fuse #36 is the most powerful fuse of all fuses servicing the START/STOP, thus essential: fuses #6 (5 Amp), #28 (5 Amp),
#36 (40 Amp), #55 (5 Amp) and #85 (30 Amp - slot not used).
So thieves might be able to push the car off the driveway (eventually after reprogramming the key via the OBD port), hop inside the car and have a good laugh about the easy theft ...but then the thief at the steering wheel will realize that the START/STOP button is brain dead.
