The best option should be a factory setting of being able to do that very thing. As the vehicle owner, I think it should be up to them to decide how they want the vehicle to perform. I know, we apparently aren't worthy of doing that in the opinion of the powers to be but should.

Hey there, I loved your thorough approach here. I agree on staying away from the more invasive methods. I personally am leaning toward the Start stop eliminator that wires into the switch circuit. Thanks for your video....

Just got a new 2020 Raptor, thought they would have dropped this system. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!

OMG !!!! I needed this video 5 years ago. lol Better late than never. I hate my start/stop function !!! I'm going to buy that cable. Thanks !!!

I have the Autostop Eliminator in my 2019 Edge ST since I bought it in late 2019. It is perfect. I highly recommend the produce.

First, coaching people on how to communicate, awesome! People hide behind their technology and have forgotten how to respectfully communicate. Wonderful that you realize this is controversial and so you set up the conversation. Two, thank you for the information. I’m not sure I could purchase any new car, just too many nannies for me so it is good to see there are safe work a rounds that frankly are good for many many reasons but not for everyone. Love your channel has climbed to the top of my list😎 S

Good presentation, and I'm glad you didn't promote some of the bad solutions that are common on the internet. I suggest everyone who wants to defeat the system use one of the products you showed, which will keep all the other systems working as designed. Messing with modern vehicles electronics is a good way to screw up multiple systems. They are much too complex for the average owner to mess with. Yes, those solutions are expensive for what they are, but all the other cheap fixes are no where near as good.

Appreciate the advice, now I just need an OBDII for my vehicle 😱 not one for my model. I will be inquiring

Great video that covered viable options. I ordered the harness from your link.

Our Start Stop Eliminator goes into a ultra low power "Sleep" mode when the vehicle is turned off and only wakes up when the other electronic modules wake up. Power draw will never be an issue, even when the vehicle is stored for long periods of time.

Great video presentation ✊🏾💯🍻 DP Cali.

Great video brian

Interesting.. Love the channel

I own a 2020 Ford Ranger. To disable the Auto Start Stop function all I need to do is plug a small LED night light (110 volt) into the 110-volt outlet on the rear of the center console. Note that the Auto Start Stop function is not enabled IF an electrical accessory is turned on or plugged in. This is mentioned on page 145 in 2020 Ford Ranger Owner's Manual. This should work for other Ford SUV and pickup trucks as well. This guy is trying to make money like the salespersons promoting cookware on TV. He always praises all products from different companies despites of what. What the hell?

Hi, does it work also for honda ridgeline 2020? If so, can you pls give me the link where can I purchase it. I'm from Ontario Canada Thanks

I installed the Start stop eliminator, in my 2022 f150 2 month after I bought it. 2yrs and still working.

Ordered, thank you

The one that you plug in behind the switch is just a latching toggle-switch type electronic gate that does the same thing as shorting the wires. If you’re comfortable with your abilities you can just put a toggle switch in its place. I’d probably put an appropriately sized fuse in line too just to be safe.

I came across an option while perusing the 2022 order form and found an option to have the start/stop shut off at the factory. People looking to order a new vehicle from Ford might want to ask about it. It might be a fleet option, I couldn't tell from the form I saw.

Hello, will that start stop eliminator work on a 2022 Ford Transit 350HD Cargo Van with the 3.5 ECOBoost engine?

I like the plug in option and wondered if it was available for my 2019 GMC Sierra 1500?

$89 and $99, I'll keep pressing the button manually and save $100 for Beer, Thanks! 🍺 🍻🍺 🍻🍺 🍻

Do you have a link to the device that connects directly to OBD port?

the device at 5 20 that plugs in i dont see it at the link you provided? they only have the one where you have to take the cover off to get to it? where can i get the small box one that just plugs in to the computer. ty

My Chrysler Pacifica Limited has a ton of different settings for everything from mirrors to lighting, and everything in between. It would have been nice to have a setting to turn off auto stop, but unfortunately you have to remember to turn off the switch every time you start it. I chose the auto stop eliminator. It took 15 minutes to install, and now I don't have to think about it.

I have a 2019 F150 5.0. Once in a great while when you go to start makes a loud boom any ideas

I don't know about old RAV4s, but the newer ones would never turn off with something like the AC on. They look at 50 parameters before they turn off. So if outside temp is too cold, won't turn off either.

I noticed the voltage on your truck was first at 12.5 then 14.5. Was the 12.5 when the truck not running and th e14.5 a running voltage? You should do a video about FORD's BMS Battery Monitor System. Generally a battery would be fully charged state at 12.6 volts... 2.1 volts per cell, but with Fords BMS it prohibits the battery from accepting a ''full charge''. It's a weird concept to wrap your head around.

If someone would just manufacture an identical switch, but not make it a momentary switch, make it latching switch.

Well I must be weird because I have an F150 2015 Platinum that stickered over $50 ,000.and it has every conceivable option on it except start/stop.I go to Florida for the winter and some of their traffic lights are literally 5 minutes long.Thats a lot of wasted gas.My last F150 came with it and I got used to it for that reason..I would gladly trade for s/s and get rid of the lane change alert that grabs your steering wheel unless you stay perfectly between the hi way lines.Or the second option I detest is adaptive speed control [cruise].I just want to drive my truck the way I have been doing for yrs. and not how some engineer decided how you will pilot your vehicle .I dont understand why people are waiting for self driving cars.We wont be in control but just get in and sit and be driven as if we re on a streetcar...

Surely you still need the engine running for aircon to turn the compressor? Here in Europe the manufacturers love these Start-Stop devices - I always disable it on my friend's Land Rover - we have an extra issue. We have a lot of turbo diesels and if you want a turbo to live a long time you should let it idle for 30 seconds at start-up and before shutting off the engine (called simmering) to ensure cooler oil reaches the turbo bearings. Stop-Starts don't always alklow this leading to premature turbo failure.

Does the on off switch not work without the dongle and wire

I followed the link for the OBDII version but I didn't see one for the Ford Bronco. Just had the wire harness version. Dang!

I just installed an Auto Stop Eliminator on my 2020 F150. I was easy to fit in the dash. The same company also sells an OBD version but I figured I would never want to not have it on plus I use my OBD connector every once in a while for other stuff.

Call me cheap but $100 is a bit expensive for this hardware. I went with the free option of unplugging the black connecter (bottom one of 3) on the box just under the steering wheel. The only downside of this is that it removes the power to the tow lights, but for a guy like me who might tow something once every 2 years, I can just plug it back in for the trip.

Hey does the auto start stop plug mess up the warranty??

Can you tell me where to get this product at.

Does this method of disabling Auto start-stop do it, by disabling battery monitoring, as is the case with Forscan method?

if using the FORScan software to disable the autolock feature for the doors, does this also alter the battery management system? I have a 2020 f150 which doesn't have the AutoLock checkbox under the advanced settings menu. I know that with Forscan you can add the AutoLock checkbox to the menu display, and simply leave the box unchecked to prevent the doors from automatically locking while driving. I was wanting to resolve this issue with forscan, but i wanted to know if doing this will also change the battery management system.

I just unplug the black wire under the dash that plugs into white box. The one that controls my trailer lights. Whenever I hook up my trailer I plug it back in.

Nice! When I was car shopping I eliminated all with that annoying start/stop "feature". Now I have options. Anyone know why Chevy back-up lights (white) come one when parked /off ? I always think they are backing up in parking lots. Wtf?

Does the auto stop cause the engine light? When it’s not working properly It turns off turns back on, and the wrench comes on. 6:18

the link shows the wire in harness, where is the plug in under the dash?

Thanks for the video!! START/STOP does NOT save gas (much)!! It takes MORE fuel to start a gasoline engine than to run it for a short while. Way back when I was a teen, it took 2 minutes of fuel to restart a car. With better efficiency engines, I'm sure that time has shortened, BUT it ain't ZERO! So, there is no benefit. The engine DOES turn off in the heat, so no AC in SE La is NOT a smart move. Also, about the "powers that be"- The car is YOURS. YOU bought it. You can do what you want with it, as long as it is legal. Are you responsible for making sure that what you do will not harm the car? Yes! So, do your homework first. Starting and restarting your car puts a lot of wear and tear on your engine. This causes the need for expensive engine repair. So much for the "powers that be". 😊

I bought a 2023 f150 and three things are driving me nuts. 1. This issue. 2. I wanted to remember that I had it in Eco because I just had to run to Aldi's... And I can change things if I need to haul something right? 3. I have everything Android paid for and when I hit the talk button I just want Android to hear me. I currently have to hit the mic button on screen of Android Auto. I had a much better experience in my 2016 Hyundai. Unreal. I think a test drive these days should also include a test drive of the freaking utilities.

What about cylinder deactivation? Is there anything that will eliminate that?

All you gotta do is unplug the wire with the grey plug by the driver side left knee foot area. Free and done ! 2seconds

Just unplug it under the dash it's a small black wire and clip and when you step on the brake the Icon comes on but the engine doesn't shut off

undo single plug at battery negative that monitors battery voltage/condition for stop/start system...no reference voltage...no stop/start....turns on "stop/start deactivated" icon on dash.

New cars are such a love/hate!

Where can you purchase this device to plug in

I heard another way is I guess when you pull a trailer the auto shut off wont happen so to trick the system to think your towing a trailer is to get a trailer light tester ( like $4) and plug it in where you would plug in your trailer lights. Would like to know if this actually works

Can you just disconnect the plug behind the brake to eliminate start/stop?

Unfortunately those two options are not available for Honda Ridgeline.

On my silverado the plug on the battery has apparently shaken loose all by itself. No idea how that happened. Hope I remember to tell the dealer when next I need service. I'll just have to live without it for now, sigh.

Anyone try to plug in a trailer light tester into the rest Port, it is supposed to signal the truck has a trailer and disable the start/stop

It sucks Everytime you get in the truck and have to remember to hit off I'm just going to have to get used to it because if you buy a device to eliminate auto start stop Incase of fire I'm sure Ford will find a way to say that you caused the issue so thanks but I just have to deal with it I just bought my 2020 f150 platinum

I am having issues with not getting to work had new battery fitted under warranty that fixed the issue for 2 weeks and then stopped working again, not that want it to work lol

I have a 2019 ranger I just plugged a nite light into my 120 outlet and painted it black and that disables it

I like the way u think

I have a 2019 f150 alt and I didnt have to buy anything to disable the auto start stop function. There is a wire you disconnect on the driver sie by the harness panel and you just pull that wire out and u dont have to worry about the start stop function. The guy that showed how to do this is on utube and his young son did it. The problem is that its been so long that I cant remember the link. You can search for the F150 Ford truck that explains how to do it. Its easy and simple and it doesnt interfere with anything nad I have been using it for a couple of years with no problems of any kind...look for it on utube its the father telling his boy to disconnect the wire. sorry i cant remember the link shoulldnt be too hard to find... and it doesnt cost anything..

How do you know for sure that disabling it with foreskin also disables the smart charging system?

so your only objection to FORScan is that it changes the charging system? Do you know how? Will the alternator still produce at least 13.8 volts with rated amperage after a big draw (e.g. cold engine start)? That seems to be a minor change to dump the ASS mode which may result in coking a turbocharger bearing, which is much more significant. e.g ... hauling a load in the bed or even just spirited operation will raise the exhaust temperature to such that a sudden loss of oil pressure will result in the stagnant oil to "coke" (sp?) on the bearing ... reduced life ... replacing a turbocharger because of ASS Mode. I have a '17 F150 XLT 2.7 V6 ... TWO turbochargers (I'm still not sure how that works, one will ALWAYS have higher pressure than the other, but whatever) ... they both are powered by exhaust gas, which gets pretty hot. Especially for a little V6 trying to move that 1000# payload.. If idle exhaust gas temperature isn't allowed to "cool" the turbine bearings ... coking. That happens pretty fast, too, depending upon the oil condition. I just downloaded the FORScan app to my laptop and ordered the ELM cable. Apparently the OBD cable I have for my VW Jetta TDI doesn't ... work. IDK what the difference would be ... but there's something different about the wiring in that cable. I intend to disable ASS mode with FORScan. If the electrical system doesn't properly recharge the battery, then I'll reset it and drop $100, I suppose, on the eliminator. I've been doing the unplug deal, but it disables the trailer lights. connecting an LED plug into the trailer lights ... disables the obstruction sensors and the back-up camera. Sigh. There's an option to partially disassemble the dash and run a jumper wire in the ASS mode switch itself. That's probably the best overall for disabling that ridiculous feature, but it also means likely dash rattles, because all the plastic never reassembles the second time as well as the first on the assembly line. It's almost as if Ford knew its customers would detest this thing. If they'd made this a stand-alone system, that plug on the module serving ONLY the switch on the dash, then they could have showed the government their jury-rigged mileage numbers with ASS mode ... and, though still increasing the purchase price of the vehicle, facilitated an owner-initiated reset to something NORMAL people would accept. thanks for your video on this.

Where is the button on the dash, to disable it, before driving?

Does anyone else have problem with the Ford F150 2018 eco-boost heater system the heater in mind keeps going out

Does it work on 2021 f150?

I thought it was bad on my 2017 F150, god it’s horrible on my 2020 Pacifica, feels like a 3 leg horse when it fires back up.

How do you know those options are safe? Did you design them? Did you send one to an electronic engineer to disassemble it? If the vehicle burns down, the insurance company will say your claim is with the eliminator manufacturer... I need a better solution or a guarantee of some kind I guess.

Simplest way is hold button in and jam a toothpick in the crack to hold button in. DONE

2019 F150 5Lt I just put it in sport mode. Shuts off auto start stop. Someone knew it wasn't "SPORTY" having it turn off during spirited driving......go figure....

Come on man....$100? You can get the same thing on ebay for $8. I would say just lower your prices to something reasonable and people will choose the easy and safe route that yours provides. My 2 cents.

What is name of this product

I just put the trans in sport mode and it disables automatically.

Just disconnect the black plug on the trailer tow module down by the brake pedal and it deactivates the auto stop start just plug it back in when you decide to tow.

Promo code doesn't work

There is a easy way just raise the hood and unplug the 2 wire plug on the positive battery terminal and it will keep running

I have a way that costs ZERO money. Pop the hood and locate the negative battery terminal. Unplug the tiny wire harness plug. This is the battery state of charge sensor. That's it, you have now disabled start/stop. It will not throw an engine code or affect anything else. The bonus is that it disables Sync 3 anti playlist scrolling. Now my passenger can scroll music with out it locking.

Mine dont even auto stop anymore 😂 i pressed the button for 6months straight now i dont even need to press the button the truck wont auto stop

Thanks for the video! I just bought a 2019 F150 and will NOT deal this auto start/stop crap. I just ordered the 4dtech memorizer for it. Unfortunately your promo code "workshopaddict" does not work. You should remove it from the above context... Gerry

Can't find the one on site that stays plugged in to the OSD port and no programming done

Can't find any links .

I just watched a video and guy just discnnected his trailer lights and signals plug, said it worked fine if hauling a trailer make sure you remember to plug back in???? ever heard of that sound too simple

So basically buy this.....after you buy your truck...hahaha yeah

I'll just push the free button! Well I just got an F150 that has AS/S, maybe it will start to annoy me eventually.,if it does I will buy this ...But the as/s is really the dumbest thing ever installed on a vehicle. Sure...everyone wants their vehicle to conk out at a busy intersection!

I just stopped driving and began using the Star Trek teleportation device I received last Xmas.

People are saying it is expensive. I can see why. New technology or products will always be expensive.

Might want to check out this vid before spending time or money. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iLB1rc2o2JbPXZs.html. Takes maybe 10 seconds and it’s absolutely free, You will have to reconnect the plug to get the trailer lights to work when and if you hitch up a trailer and then disconnect the plug again to disable the auto stop when you unhitch. But that beats the shit out of hitting that stupid button every time you get in the vehicle.or spending money on a gadget.

So creating the problem and selling the solution. Ford has to fix this

just unplug terminal connected to negative battery cable it disables the auto stop/start operation and effects no functions I have a 2019 f150 did this day one, no cost ,easy and that annoying feature is gone!!!!!

Unplug tow module.

Or just go into settings,advanced settings,vehicle then click on engine start stop box and it's permanently disabled

Chevy gives you the option to deactivate this feature..fyi

I not sure if you know that the 4dtech does NOT allow you to turn the unit on and off. It's in the fine print!

Best way to get rid of the auto start stop garbage...don't buy a vehicle that is equipped with it.

Gracias

This feature is bad for the battery, bad for the starter and bad for the engine ($$$$). And it's utterly unnerving. I hate it. It's a battery eater and the proof of it is that start/stop is automatically put to off when outside temperature is 4 celsius or less. Finally it does no good for environment as replacing these parts has its ecological print, far exceeding the negligible fuel economy. (Except for certain exceptionnal situations like a big trafic jam or waiting in line at the car wash.) I think it will be withdrawn some day, or at least disabling it become permanent until you put it on again.

Just program your to turn it off and is free.

Just disconnect the small plug near/on the battery negative post. The process is easily reversible and does no harm.

So THE ONLY Frakkin option to disable this "feature" is to waste $100 at this random 3rd party company and plug an extra component into your vehicle and who knows WTF it's doing. But somehow everyone is blindly trusting and promoting this company. Wow.

Government in our life again...
