  • I was getting tired of starting my 2021 GMC AT4 and dealing with the Auto Stop Start feature being on by default. This device (not sponsored) solves the issue without adjusting the ECM. Works on several vehicles including Ford, Dodge, Chrysler, Subaru!

    I just installed one of those in my GMC Acadia, SLE and I love it. That auto stop start is so aggravating, one of the craziest things that Auto makers decided to put into new vehicles.

    I have a 2020 and luckily my auto start/stop hasn’t worked since I picked up my truck when it was new! Truck has since been leveled and tires upgraded to 295/70R18 and a Rough Country plug & play speedometer calibrator installed to correct the speedometer, and I can vouch that it has raised the speed limiter from the 99mph to a higher limit. Also changed the shift ratios to accommodate the 2” larger diameter of the tires.

    I’m really not one to tear into things like this, but I gotta say, after watching your video a few times, I thought it looked easy enough and after receiving my order and letting set there for a day or so, I tackled the job on my 2021 Sierra 1500 AT4! Took my time and had to refer back to this video a time or two, but it went extremely well and only took me an hour start to finish and I didn’t break anything! Thanks for a well done & detailed installation video! Love this truck… now even more!

    • @Boobtube.
      @Boobtube. 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@jloutz yea, but that device your talking about messes with the battery voltage indication that the computer receives, so it will not know when the battery gets low and to shut things down like heated steering wheel or rear defrost etc. That device is a "riggins" in my opinion that will only cause more issues. I installed what Don did, on my 2024. Was I happy about doing it? No. But after watching several videos over and over, I had the confidence to take it on. Just took my time and did not rush myself. I referred to the video every step of the way. Really, it is not that bad. Sure the noises can scare you when popping off the panels, but you gotta want the feature turned off bad enough in order to do this job.

    Felt this video was most appropriate to ask on. Do you know of a DIY way to turn one of the blank accessory switch into a garage door opener switch? My AT4 didnt come with the Homelink buttons and after doing some research and watching your videos I figured you may know. I appreciate it.

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting. If the blank switch ‘moves’ and still has the motion and internals of a functional switch then maybe…You could run some leads out of your garage remote transmitter (hide behind the dash) and wire up your switch. If the switch is fake it would be way more difficult.

    so, do you have to dismiss the "autostart is off" dash warning every time you start it up now? Not much of a difference if you still have to press a button when starting it. Either the auto start stop button on dash or the dismiss button on the steering wheel. Only flaw i see with this.

You are almost certainly thinking about a different aftermarket product and not this "specific" product as you stated. I am quite sure that after 6+ years of being sold & installed that complaints of dead batteries with using this device would be flooding the various related TH-cam videos.

    My auto on off start in my vehicle is not working I had it repaired before the dealership, honored my warranty the first time and put a new battery in it and basically fixed it but six months later, it stopped working I took it to the same dealership, and now they’re saying That I have too many aftermarket wires that are interfering with it but they didn’t say that the first time and fixed it with a new battery. They might’ve done something else to it plus, adding the new battery I have a camera system that I bought through GM and the dealership that I bought it from installed it and the dealership that I took it to to have, it fixed when they put the new battery in never mentioned anything about it but when I took it back to that same dealership, they said that they couldn’t do anything more for me because there were some type of interference with the auto on off start function because of the Wires from the camera system that are running throughout the vehicle, I did take it to the dealership that I bought it from and they won’t honor it because of the after my market wires that are in the vehicle and I don’t know what to do or how to fix it. Do you have any suggestions?

    This is great and thanks for posting this video.
    However I must say I expected something that will be rather plug and play, instead of "some assembly required".
    My understanding is that car manufacturers are forced to set up 'auto-start/stop' in such ways, in order to meet government regulations, which I find very unfortunate.
    Hopefully the EPA will leave these 'helpful' aftermarket companies alone, who are producing these 'helpful' gadgets.

    How about a totally free way to permanently disable the auto stop start feature in 5 seconds with no disassembly required. This is embarrassingly easy. Get a toothpick or something like it. Push on the existing auto stop start button and hold it down while you jam the end of the toothpick into the space between the button and the bezel so the button is stuck in the “pushed” position. Voila. I did this to my Kia soul for 4 years and now to my one year old hyundia palisade.

    Also the only reason they did that is to wear down your flexplate and starter to the max to where you have to take it to the dealer or transmission shop and have the transmission pulled out install a new flexplate and starter so it will cost you a fortune they do it to all the cars and trucks so they will make millions of dollars on top of what they already made but they will tell you it's for green environment yeah rightI'm going to put mine in on my new 2021 Chevy Silverado if I would have known it was like that I would not have bought it also the pointed doors that slam into your knees radio that always comes on whether you want it on or not switching from 4 cylinder to V8 all this is a deterrent so they will break down and you take them into the dealer that is a shame Detroit Michigan treats all of their customers they are backstabbers they think they know what we want because they are in competition with Ford and Dodge Chrysler !!!!!

There is a video that you can hookup a module on your battery that takes 30 seconds. To take that much of your dash apart is just plain stupid. Then what happens you Crack something or damage the dash? Now you're worst off. Sorry but much easier to push the button and your off.PS: Not to mention using tape all over the place. Iv got better things to do then take apart my $50,000 + truck. Not to mention does it void the warranty not that i would care anyway since i wouldn't do this stupid installation.

I have a elantra I drive around for everyday driving. My 2021 elevation 5.3 v8 sucks gas reason it stays in the driveway. Besides I'm not crazy about driving it anyway. But we love camping so I need it. I will sell it if we sell the camper and get something smaller but until that happens my little alantra will do.
