first off i will point out that i will update this thread as i test/prefect the mod.
this is pretty much a mod for the s48e multifunction switch infront of the shifter which makes a pretty awesome vehicle even better by adding the ability for the switch states to be remembered through vehicle restarts and of course keep the stop/start function disabled through vehicle restarts when you turn it off.
a quick run down on the switch operation...
the S48E multifunction switch is an analog setup which basically just grounds wires that are pulled 12v high for the bcm to detect each switch press within the module.
by creating a arduino powered module to remember your last switch selection/setting and automatically grounding the selected wires we can repeat the switch press on vehicle startup without needing to physically press the switch each time you start the vehicle.
this first implementation is a "dumb" setup with no detection of the "current" switch state but it will toggle a saved on and off state.
each press of the physical switch will toggle on or off state in the arduino board and vehicle.
detection could be achieved by tapping into the wires that power each led but for now i do not think that is necessary but if that changes i will update this post.
i have attempted to make this mod with the most easily obtainable parts and least complicated method for diy purposes.
this is the arduino script
S48E_Mod.zip
Pastebin
this script will need to be flashed to the arduino board and you can find heaps of tutorials on youtube how to flash a script.
the main parts used are...

this mod was done in a rs v6 and had been designed to remember the start/stop, lane assist and sport mode buttons
these 2 pictures show which wires are needed to be cut and have the mod spliced in between.
you basically add ignition switched power to the module and splice the module between the S48E plug and the vehicle so in this diagram you cut the start/stop wire and put the plug side to the board and the vehicle side to the relay bank following the colors in the diagram
the code is setup to have a delay of 5 seconds after vehicle starts to trigger the switches.
if this is a little bit confusing just wait a while and someone should develop a plug and play option from this info which would be the best way to achieve this mod.
