Thanks for this video. I have looked at other start top devices for the 453 but requires splicing an electronic chip into the wiring of the stop start disable button and also coding was an other option, but have no-one close by to code it out. This device looks so easy with plug and play, so ordered one up and will connect it soon. Just fed up with that stop start rubbish. Cheers Col.
Some people have reported that you have to follow the instructions that come with the device. Mine was just plug it in and it worked but the instructions are turn it off. Turn it on. Wait 30 seconds. Press and hold the button and things like that but it seems to be very reliable and very simple good luck, my friend.
This is a 453. Some of the 451 are called MHD Micro Hybrid Drives. These have stop start and you can get the same defeat devices from this same company too.
Great video. I have a 451. I see that you've replied to a previous commenter that the same defeater can be bought from the same outlet. Any possibility of doing a video to permanently de-activate the ECO on the 451 ?
Thanks so much for the kind words. I’ll try and do an engine bay clean if the weather is ok tomorrow. UK weather has been simply disgusting lately. Thanks for watching.
@@nizamahmed5073 move to Wales…. It’s still wet as hell but you have beautiful countryside to drive your car in 🙏😉 be well my friend. I’ll try and get that engine bay video done tomorrow.
@@smarte.r.1450 No device in there. Apparently the camshaft sensor is showing a fault, many other faults in these cars can show as stop/start issues too. For some weird reason. Batteries in particular. Saw your vid, thought install that device and one less issue to worry about.
The best modification I have ever done to my smart👍
It’s great isn’t it?
@@smarte.r.1450 Been using this device for about two years now. Never regret its price well worth it. No more default start stop😁

Arghhh so sorry. I no longer have a 451 but, the link on the site shows a how to video. I believe it’s just as plug and play also.
If you are in the UK, use a 5pence piece. Push the StartStop button and wedge a 5p in to stop it re-activating
@@BigPerformance I guess if it works .. it works. I’d want a permanent factory looking option personally
I was told to turn mine off cause of driving around the estate, it would be better for it, as I stop start a lot. @@smarte.r.1450
Great watch. Looking forward to more videos

My stop and start is on the central forward of the key. 2013 smart is anything I can get to turn it off altogether
@@russelljones1945 so you have an older shape like the one in my channel motif?
Our Smart FourTwo passion is showing this as a fault and engine management light coming on too, would this device cure / defeat that ?
Have you checked there is no device in there at present.?

@@Rob290755 BATTERIES are the NUMBER ONE issue if u have “many fault codes” a good quality battery that is AGM solving soo many issues

Link is in the description box of the video 😉
I dont have that side screw on my european 453!
@@sportlol I have replied
Do you know how you do it on a 451 MHD please?
Follow the Ali express link and see the 451 product. They post a video how to install and the sequence to activate the defeat device.
