As an update, got the MLK store model, doesn't seem to do anything.
I'm reasonably sure that the car will not start in Individual mode under OEM settings because of the EPA's CAFE rules. It's the same reason that Honda is forced to recommend 0W-20 oil only, and state that other weights are not allowed outside of emergency conditions. If they want to get the CAFE credit for using 0W-20 oil and auto-stop, then it has to be the default option for the consumer. Since Individual mode allows us to disable auto-stop, allowing the car to start in Individual mode would invalidate the CAFE savings and potentially cost Honda huge sums of money in penalties.
Thank goodness that the federal government knows what's best for us better than we do, am I right?
