ENGINE_IDLE_AUTO_STOP_ENABLED

What it is

Represents feature for engine idle automatic stop.

If true, the vehicle may automatically shut off the engine when it is not needed and then automatically restart it when needed.

This property is defined as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ_WRITE, but OEMs have the option to implement it as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ only.

How the ID is built

A property ID is a 32-bit value packing four fields. Reading 0x11200320 apart:

FieldMaskValueMeans
Group0xf00000000x10000000SYSTEM
Area0x0f0000000x01000000GLOBAL
Type0x00ff00000x00200000BOOLEAN
Ordinal0x0000ffff0x000003200x320

Reading it from an app

CarPropertyManager mgr = (CarPropertyManager)
        car.getCarManager(Car.PROPERTY_SERVICE);

boolean value =
        mgr.getBooleanProperty(VehiclePropertyIds.ENGINE_IDLE_AUTO_STOP_ENABLED, 0);

This property can be read and written, though an OEM may implement it as read-only. It fires a callback whenever the value changes.
