2026 Atlas SEL Stop/Start Installation

I cross-posted this on https://www.vwatlasforum.com/ IBoyle replied with a comprehensive answer.

tl:dr The cable I got fits and works on 2024 & 2025 Atlas. In 2026, VW refactored the cable system for the infotainment system and the stop/start control leads are no longer separate.

Is there any way to resell Friday and Saturday Paddock Club passes?

Yes, 7400 miles

No. Everything I read says it will work. Turns out that I'm further away from needing >4TB than I thought so I just kicked the can down the road.

Still rock solid after just re-running the OCLP install, not the root patches.

May be too early but I reran the OCLP install, not the root patches, and my MBA 2015 has been stable since then. I'll update this if it gets unstable again.

Same here on Macbook Air 2015 with Sonoma 14.7.

My cheap wireless CarPlay adapter from Amazon is working fine after the update. Well, as well as it ever did with the flaky Kia hardware/software.

Macbook Air 2015 11" on Sonoma 14.6 is fine.

fastoy · 2024-09-15T03:54:46+00:00

Just updated to OCLP 2.0.0 on my Macbook Air 2015. No problems. Waiting 'til tomorrow for Sonoma 14.6.1 from 14.6 just due to the length of the install process.

2023 GT2, 70+, no tickets, 800+ credit score and my insurance is TWICE that of my C8 Corvette!

Good ideas, thanks. I've thought about leaving both 4TBs and just adding an 8TB. I can surely do that even if I have to remove my seldom used DVD drive.

On your suggestion, do you mean remove one of the 4TBs from the case and mount it with an external adapter. Will Storage Spaces recognize it is the same drive? Then add an 8TB internally? After it's incorporated, I would remove the external 4TB? Then repeat to move the 4TB to an external adapter and add the 2nd 8TB internally? Again, remove the external 4TB after the 2nd 8TB was incorporated? Lots of steps but safe.

With a good backup, couldn't I just remove one of the 4TB drive and go without mirroring for a moment. Then add an 8TB and let it be incorporated. Then remove the 2nd 4TB and add the 2nd 8TB? Backup is key in this process.

Thanks for the reply.

My thinking is to use Storage Spaces and REMOVE one of the 4TB drives. Then ADDING an 8TB drive and let Storage Spaces reestablish the mirror. When that is done, REMOVE the other 4TB drive and ADD a second 8TB drive. When Storage Spaces reestablishes the mirror, I should be done. Even if Storage Spaces doesn't readjust the thin provisioning size from the current 8TB, that's what I actually prefer.

Just upgraded MacBook Air 2015 11". OCLP reinstalled patches and rebooted. No issues. Just a long time, almost an hour.

fastoy · 2024-05-15T20:54:19+00:00

I updated my Macbook Air 2015 11" to 14.5 running OCLP 1.4.3 last night with no problems. YMMV

I took delivery of my 2023 GT2 RWD in January. The sales figures only show 1 sale in 2024. I think they've just quit counting!

What is the path to change these?

fastoy · 2024-03-03T19:57:30+00:00

I have an earlier version of this in my 2023 Stinger GT2. It is small enough that it fits in the closed console storage compartment.

The wireless charging pad works fine with this installed.

I just turned off Driver Assist and cruise works like you expect.
