The 12v setting I can appreciate the car going nuts as thats bordering on a flat/dead battery, especially one like ours with lots of computers and gadgets
I leave the stop start function turned on but to be quite honest I do drive it in sport mode a lot and that disables stop/start. Possibly 50/50 being on and off.

I only had it in the car set to 12.5v for a few days after the car complained that the battery was low so I can't really give any solid info on whether it would work as expected. It might work perfectly well on 12.5v and my battery was still flat from having it set to 12v for a month.
