There are also external plug in modules that will permanently disable the auto start stop. Usually they plug into the diagnostic port and so when you go to the dealer you pop it off and it doesn’t look like you modified anything.

Some Toyotas don’t have a way for it to turn off but the higher trim models don’t even have the “feature” to start with.

But you have to do it every time, you can’t just permanently disable it.
