Did I miss something here, what do I call this nifty gadget? 🤣 UPDATE... I ordered from them and I was waiting and waiting for it to arrive. All along it was sitting at my post office waiting for me to pick it up. (so be aware of what app or tracking site you use to track the package) I installed this "nifty little gadget" that was slightly different as the video explained - mine connects to the negative battery terminal, (the instructions were great and they even sent me a nice 10mm wrench - thank you) This gizzmo is the best thing since sliced bread. Works awesome !

Thank you for the video. Stupid the automobile manufacturers think auto stop is needed. Blessings to you.

Simple easy and you are very straight foward to the point. thank you

Start / stop is a terrible idea, beats up the starter motor, battery and flywheel gear. And the obvious, it’s annoying

I just followed your video and it works perfectly....thanks!

Thanks for video. It is so funny when engineers invent and integrate in cars something to save money with fuel economy, but as a result we have to spend our money and buy some extra means to cancel this features ))

Just ordered one. The Gen2 is out with improvements with remote start.

Auto stop is bad for engine crank and battery

My SUV has an OFF button for the Auto Off feature, which I hate! I have to remember to press the button every time I start the vehicle. Some vehicles have a menu entry located in the vehicle setup where the user can disable it. My SUV does not have this option. There are more add on devices coming on to the market to defeat this feature in many of the models of vehicles. Most of these are sold on line only. They are technically illegal to install. The dealer service people told me if any gadget is installed or any modification is done to disable this feature, they will get an error code when they run the diagnostics during the routine servicing. Best to remove whatever mod you do before bringing the vehicle in for service. The dealer service rep told me it is illegal to tamper with this feature. It is considered part of the emission control system. They are getting many complaints about this feature. Most gasoline vehicles are starting to have the Auto Off feature if the engine is larger than 1.8 Litres in size. Many people find this feature horribly annoying! This feature adds for a lot more wear on the starter motor and the starter's Bendix gear. Expensive to replace the starter and Bendix gear. The dealer service told me even though the starters and Bendix gear are built stronger for this feature they are still changing more of these assemblies. After the vehicle warranty is finished this will be expensive for the vehicle owner. Frequent stops and starts of the engine also reduces engine life compared to letting the engine run continuously. Another drawback with the Auto Off is when the engine is stopped the engine's oil pressure instantly drops to zero. Then when the driver releases the breaks, or touches the gas pedal the engine immediately starts while the transmission is engaged and is under instant load to move the vehicle. For a few seconds the engine is under load with zero oil pressure. This over time will add to greater rate of crank shaft and cam shaft bearing wear. Even though there is still a coating of oil on these parts, having zero oil pressure for even a second under load is not good. This will lead to greater rate of engine wear! Very costly to rebuild or buy a new engine! Normally, when you start your vehicle it is in Park or Neutral. The engine is being started with very little load on its output. The only load it has is the flywheel and the torque converter. This type of load is very small for the engine. By the time you put the transmission in to drive or gear, there is a safe level of oil pressure.

Not many people like the auto stop feature, yet we are forced to have it if you needed a new car. Ridiculous.

Thank you I bough one for $12 love it.

Can you please post the link on were you got this from please

Installed...works great!

I would love this for BMWs. Being a California resident sometimes sucks.

Why not just leave the connection disconnected without spending 140.00 bucks for a bypass relay?

I would like to know what is the name of the plocks for the auto stop I have 2018 Acadia I'm going crazy thanks

So far the Co that make the device does not make one for a 2020 Terrain. I did read that GMC's 2022 Terrain will have a button on it to over ride the S/S from working. I am thinking the same may7 be true for the 2022 Nox. Perhaps GM/GMC will offer some sort of factory design kit for the 2020 & 2021's GM/GMC's for a override button.

I bought a used 2019 Dante Fe which had this feature already disabled somehow. I changed the battery and now it’s active again. I want to know how the previous owner deactivated it. There is no devices attached to car so I’m thinking it can be bypassed by hitting buttons in sequence.

Thank you for the video!!!I did the same on my car

You'd think with the high prices of vehicles, especially a Cadillac XT5, they'd have a turn-off button!

Is that device California legal? I was considering buying a 2018 gmc acadia.

I just unhooked the hood warning light. $100 is too much for me. There are 2 other ways as well. 1: putting the vehicle in low gear and manually push the plus button up to 6th gear, or 2: just be light on the brake when stopping.

Save your money. Just pull the bonnet, on the battery negative clamp, there is a wire with a plastic QR. Undo the wire tuck it out of the way and no more start stop

So the remote start will still work 2017 Cadillac XT5? No other draw backs?

Works great but my check engine light is on now?

Have you had any issues with it since installing?

Heat cycles are my worry for the little thing. Might take it apart to let people build their own

Solution for CA residents .... buy when u go to NV... ship to hotel 🤔🤣

What does this tell the engine? That the hood is still open? Or does it have to do with ambient outside temp?

There are some of these start/stop disablers on amazon now for $15

So where's the link to the part? How do you buy it?

On the gm 9 speed, put it into manual mode then change gears to the highest gear which is 9, problem solved. No auto stop. I own a 2018 Buick Enclave and it works on this model.

Do you have a link to where I can buy this thing?

Is there a setup for 2018 GMC Terrain SLE

If you do a lot of city driving the cost is worth getting rid of this horrible feature, especially if there is no button you can push to turn it off.

Perhaps this is a stupid question. But the Cadillac xt5 also has a feature where if you are cruising around town, it will shut off 2 cylinders to save gas. If you get this module to disable auto stop and start, does it disable the other gas saving feature as well? Are they even related?

I’m not seeing where to buy this?

It was informative but you forgot to tell us where to buy the item.

Where did you buy it?

Wher3 did u order

how iget this device ir sensr

Where can I find this stop start connector

Am I missing something? Where's the link to buy this device?

We would like to know the name of the bypass and address to order

For free, 2018 xt5 will not auto stop in manual mode. I’ve been doing this successfully for months

what is the part number of the unit you got I have an 2018 XT5

What is the name of this gadget, and where can I buy it?

How does this function, and does it cause any long term issues?

where do I get this cable

Silly question, but what's the big issue causing you to disable it? I have this feature on my Buick and within a couple of weeks of driving it off the lot, I barely even notice it.

What’s the website to purchase the kit ?

I'll not consider any Vehicle that this can not be disabled

Can this also work on a Cadillac XT4?

Where duh ya get one

Where do I get this device please

Where do I buy this?

will this work for a 2021 traverse?

You should’ve started with the cost of this device😂 thanks for the video

Nice Where can I purchase it

When you consider the fact that the vehicle is worth ZERO, with the stop / start technology in place, you can understand why people explore various methods of eliminating it. You can have the evil stop start technology permanently disabled. But you MUST do it as a condition of sale at the time you buy. The dealer can easily program this feature off. They do this for most government vehicles and police departments. If your dealer won't do it, go to another dealer. Engine Stop Start technology was developed for the SOLE purpose of improving the EPA, MPG number during their NON-REALISTIC test. In the real world it does virtually nothing to save fuel, but it DOES wear out your engine faster. Nothing is harder on a car engine than when you start it. There are several aftermarket kits that can defeat Engine Stop Start technology. Forced Lighting (Daytime Running Lights that cannot be controlled by the driver) is another common thing that people get rid of. Unless, you have a Toyota, which has "DRL off" right on the light switch.

I very much doubt if a single service tech has not heard a customer ask to shut off this stupid system. It will not effect the vehicles warranty only your wallet when it comes to a new starter, flex-plate (6 cylinder engines stop at the same 3 places as 3 different cylinder come up on compression stroke) and the extra motorcycle battery in the trunk or the $230 over-sized battery under the hood. Labor not included! ASE Master Tech since 78, retired. Besides, my wife hate it! Happy wife, happy life!

It might have been more informative if you had told us where ya bought the device, better yet a link. Just saying

Чувак, просто разомкни и заизолируй маленький коннектор в другом месте, под капотом. И не нужны никакие дополнительные устройства.)

I need this for a ‘17 chevy impala

Our car is just a few months old. We didn’t notice it at first. I’m trading cars I hate this!!! Very Stupid to put this on a car!!

I had that auto stop shit on my malibu. Stopped at a red light with a steep incline and when I went to take off the car almost rolled back into the car behind me as it hesitates to go in gear with the auto stop shit

I can't believe I have to do this. So stupid 🙄

if you have a pig tail for your trailer lights just put a dummy end on it they sell them at Auto Zone it want do that crap at a red light ) you can thank me later............. its telling the computer it pulling a trailer

I bought this device from here www.smartstopstart.com/
