Auto-hold every time I start
Hey all, new owner here. Got my 2019 GT last week. I am wondering if there's a way to set brake auto-hold to always be on. It seems to default to off every trip.

Have a 2016.5 GT, and it operates like that. When turning the car on, the EPP defaults to off. I can set it to on, if wanting to power off and leave the car; then set it off, when turning the car on and releasing the brake.
If I'm understanding what you're wanting, I also would prefer the EPP to be activated automatically upon shutting off the car. But then, you put the shifter into "Park" anyway, so ...
Doesn't look like the 2019 has a control of the defaults for EPP setting, aside from the manual button on the console. The Owner's Manual for the 2019 GT has a "parking brake" chapter, pp 4-94 to 4-99, and in it there is discussion of the use of the electric parking brake, and discussion on the manual set/release button on the console to control it. But nothing's described in there about defaults, nor in the section on "personalization settings," pp 9-12 to 9-18.
Makes sense, though, that they'd default to the EPP = Off. Driving with the thing on is bad news. Better to force the drive to deliberately set it, if desired.

The electric parking brake (EPP) feature doesn't look like it gets to be controlled, other than via the manual button on the console for the setting of the brake and release of the brake.

Yes I've seen a plugin OBD module at China Taobao that does exactly what the OP wants but unfortunately is not possible to search Taobao anymore and I don't have a saved link.
The only thing I found web searching is this video:

That is what he is talking about. He wants to be able to have it default to on so he doesn't have to press the button every time he starts the car. Not sure why you can't, but I don't think it's possible either.

There's no activation button for this feature in my car, it's on all the time. My 2016 MX-5 also has this.
