This does NOT disable stop/start. What it actually does is disable the BMS from checking the battery output, which normally will not activate stop/start when the battery is below 75%. So what you have actually done here is disable this safety check and allowed stop/start to function regardless of a low battery condition, making things far worse than before. The only way to disable stop start is to use the button for each journey or alternatively purchase an item that will automatically emulate the button being pressed every time you start the engine. They are available in either button wiring adaptors (you need to remove the button panel) or as OBD2 adaptors, but whatever you do, DO NOT disable this feature with Forscan or other methods.
Yes, tho they offer a free trial. It’s only $12 for a year subscription. In my opinion, it’s worth having. I am plugging it into my truck, and all my family/ friends cars that have fords. It’s helpful to have

I cyk - przy okazji wyłączyłeś BMS. 🙃
the closer they are to zero, the better, this doesn't work here
