Welcome, phatrosh. That is a safety feature that cannot be turned off.

I guess if your have steptronic and it won't start in any other gear than P, then it is redundant.

My requires me to depress the clutch to start the car. A feature that I welcomed 14 years ago. It stops the not knowing from driving your car into a wall.
