- If your car has this annoying start-stop feature and you want to get rid of it safely and without voiding your warranty, then this is for you. Watch as I take a 30-second task and turn it into a 10 minute video.

The engineers that came up with this useless feature should be fired immediately. It serves no purpose and does absolutely nothing except to add more wear and tear on your engine and starter. So happy Ford allows it to be removed on my '22 F150!! I never have to worry about this again!
The MAJOR problem with auto-idle (which isn't mentioned here) is the fact that starting your engine is the single most damaging activity to your engine. Why would you save a little in gas to greatly decrease the longevity of your engine? Does not make sense.
It's hell on the starter and components. The life of the starter is greatly reduced. I doubt there is minimal fuel savings. It's BS technology.
Just make it a habit to press the auto start button every time you start your car , you don’t know what problem’s you are going to have down the road with your car computer by disabling the wire going to the computer.
I just never wear a seat belt.
If you have your air conditioner on it will not engage
If i remember right, starting your car equals 15-30 minutes of gas of your car running
I’m surprised that the auto makers haven’t created an extra option on the car to keep it turned off all the time. After all they are good about creating a problem and then offer to sell you the fix for some exorbitant price .
It's dangerous but we will never here about it..
Most people can't stand this feature, but it adds more wear and tear to your vehicle which means you'll be at the shop more often IMO, so manufacturers will of course keep it
Totally agree. That split second lag is especially dangerous at busy T-junctions.
It's important to note that this feature isn't primarily for you as the customer. This feature is so the car manufacturers can market their car as slightly more efficient than it really is. This bumps them up on the charts since technically it will burn slightly less in the "city driving" metric. Since all the manufacturers are so close in terms of fuel economy, this tiny bump causes them to gain a lot of places on the charts if they do it and your company doesn't, thus this annoying feature spread throughout the industry like wildfire. The manufacturer doesn't care about the longevity of the car as long as it makes it to the end of the warranty period. so i mean, if you dont care either, and also dont want AC/Heat while stopped, and dont care about a worn-out starter, and dont care about wearing out the bottom end faster, then by all means save a few bucks a month on fuel (potentially). But for people who want to keep their car for a long time and not treat it like getting a new phone every year or 2, then this feature is crap.
Been searching the internet for a disable remedy to Auto Start/Stop - thank you so much for all your effort in making this video.
Excellent video ! I have a Ford Fusion 2020 and has basically the same setup. What was more annoying than having to hit that button every time you start the car was FORGETTING to hit that button every time I start the car.!!
You are correct. This feature is just dangerous. When your car auto-stops at an intersection, and then you go to accelerate into oncoming traffic and it doesn't fire up right away, your timing can be thrown off, lurching you forward at the wrong moment, causing an accident. I despise government overreach and stupidity.
Found it on my 2017 Ford Ranger truck. Plug was identical and easy to do. The only difference was the light displayed on the panel was the check engine light instead of the auto-start amber light. The annual inspection in Texas will not pass with a check engine light, however I will only need to plug it back in when the inspection is due. Good job my friend!
Thanks so much! I loved it when you said that seeing that dashboard warning light illuminated - brings you joy! We must have been cut from the same cloth. 😊
Got a 2020 Pacifica sitting in my driveway right now. Wife drove it home from the dealership this afternoon. Has 20,000 miles on it, thinking of buying it. Your videos help!
Thank you. I just successfully disabled this nuisance in my 2020 Durango. A little trickier to do since my battery is in a well compartment under the front passenger seat. Done and happy about it!
Thanks to you my friend, I learned about Autostop Eliminator. The bad news was I had to wait over a year for them to cover my make and car. The good news is, the product is now available for Kia Seltos which I have. Today I am installing it. Free, free, free at last. Thank you! You are my Autostop Eliminator Hero! All the best to you and your channel!
