Defeating Auto Start/Stop - permanently

I wanted to wait until the RI and get the latest software updates before coding it out.
I tackled this recently, below is a high level overview of it all:
No more auto start/stop ever
In addition I coded the puddle lights (door handles) to illuminate upon reverse.
