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. Everyone has their own opinion about the benefits, but all I experienced was aggravation. Thanks to the maker of the auto stop eliminator.
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!
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.
Just got one of these and put it in my 2021 Chevy Silverado. Hands down the best decision I've made as I live in a city with a stop sign or stop light on nearly every block. Great video and walkthrough.
I just viewed a more detailed video of this installation. 100% won't be doing that to my 2024 Silverado. There is some gizmo you attach to the battery that seems to work okay, maybe do that.
@@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.
Thank God there's a company out there that does sell these wiring kits to disable that autostart/stop feature. I will be getting one for my 2018 Chevy Traverse. Great video. Very helpful.
Thanks for the video, I completed this install on my 2020 AT4. I was nervous doing the install myself, but with the help from your video the install went flawlessly.
Awesome video. I just bit the bullet and got an Auto Stop Eliminator kit and was wondering how to install with the full console. Most other videos are in trucks without consoles, so while they're good videos, too, I still needed a bit more information. I have a 2020 Denali with the console, and this video helped me figure out what to do with those parts to get to the lower screws on the control head. Thanks for this. Never knew the phone charger pad had an air flow passage under it to help keep it cool.
@@ThePetersmith77 I did this recently. Really, it was not that hard. And the trim pieces come off easy enough. I just had the video up from the manufacturer and took it 1 step at a time. Referring to the video at every step of the way. I guess you just have to want it enough, to do it.
Wedge the end of a toothpick into the space between the auto stop start button and it’s bezel so it states permanently pushed in. Amazingly simple solution
I was there but with my aftermarket exhaust coming, I felt this would be of some benefit. Especially for the times I probably would have forgotten to turn it off. I don’t want aggressive starts at intersections 😂
@@Donslife fair enough 😂 I went the the 20’ Elevation and did a muffler delete straight pipe on mine, just replaced the elevation badges to different ones and currently waiting for my plasti dip to dry on my tailgate Sierra logo haha
Nice, I hyper dipped my emblems and even my wheels. Probably my most popular videos on my channel so far for some reason. I usually plasti dip my emblems but wanted to try this Hyperdip product they now make (made by PlastiDip) but specifically for automotive.
The reason it's on by default is the feds. They give them a higher fuel rating as long as the customer can't permanently turn it off. But it absolutely makes no sense with a diesel.
Good video, explains the installation process well. Wish there was a way to upgrade the existing phone charger while the dash is open instead of adding a second charger to the console lid.
Have you looked into a pedal commander? Had one on my 18" ram 1500 sport. best purchase I've ever made. Had to get one before I even got the keys in hand on my 20' sierra. Eco mode you do see gas savings and sport mode is extremely fun
I have done some research. My truck is 4 months old and as I keep building it and making content, who knows….maybe I will try something like that out. Thanks for watching!
I have a 2020 GMC Sierra, and I hate it. In fact, I have put 192K miles on it so far, and OBVIOUSLY, the Starter was the first thing I've had to replace, smh. I will check and see if I can do this for my truck!
I’ll just stick with pushing the button to deactivate. I do agree it would be nice to either not have it at all or at least make it an option to turn on. Worst feature ever!
Does the ASS function also mess with your coolant pump? My coolant pump is electric and I noticed everytime I ASS my engine light comes on. Then the ‘Fix Finder’ says I lost communication with the coolant pump and also says it’s ‘high current’. I feel the ASS is causing all these problems.
this is great, true it is annoying. after a stop there is a so much lag before you get that power from the 6.2L engine. just not sure if i can execute that disassembly that well as i have very little patience with clips. out of topic just want to ask do you use octane 93? i cant seem to find any here in winnipeg so im stuck at 91 and manual says engine may knock if it is a lesser of octane.
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.
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.
It shouldn’t. It isn’t altering the programming, it is just letting you have it off by default or on by default. Also due to the recent chip shortages, many of these trucks are not even including the feature.
Seeing as though you can disable auto stop start by pushing the button they provide, what happens if you just keep the button pressed all the time (I thought). I did this on my Kia soul for 5 years with a toothpick wedged between the pushed in button and it’s bezel and the auto stop start was stopped in its tracks with no discernible damage to anything.
Don, thanks so much for sharing. I will be installing. Have you had a problem with the starter engaging and the truck not cranking? I’ve had it happen at least 6 times in 10k miles. After about 20 seconds it will cease trying to crank. Next crank will be normal. Has to be tough on the starter.
@@squamnh Yes. I thought I’d figured it out that if you happen to shut it down just as it was about to go into auto stop, it would go into the hung start for the next start. But that’s not it either. Although that did happen one time. I’m just going to break down and install the memory switch. It’s the only problem I have had with the truck at the 11k mark.
@@joeljasper3622 Yes, has happened to me about 6 times already. Dealer says they've never heard about this but the forums say otherwise. I barely have 3K miles on mine. Can't wait to go through all the bullsh*t with the dealer to get it repaired.
@@VictorMarines06 my dealership found where it had been reported. They stated they checked for a certain code, but did not find that code. It’s going in for its second service Tuesday. I’m going to bring it up again.
Good stuff and thanks for sharing. I came across this product a few days ago and now that I’ve seen someone actually install it and actually demonstrated how accurately it works, I’m sold! Has anyone installed it on a 2022, 1500, 3.0 model? That’s what I have and is there’s a faster way to get to the wiring without removing so much of the interior parts? Thanks.
@@Donslife just wanted to thank you once again. I received my auto stop eliminator yesterday, installed it this morning in approximately an hour and tested it out and worked like a gem. Beyond stoked I purchased it and I don’t have to worry about my truck turning off during stops anymore. Thank you Sir!
Any plans to add the Pulsar LT? I have one on my Sierra and it kills the auto stop, dfm, and adjusts quite a few parameters. A must have with your new exhaust setup
@@Donslife you’ll love it man. They on the fly throttle response is also amazing. I keep it at level 3. Great power and response, good control. 4 and 5 … it spins tires too easily
I am one of those people that likes e doing this kind of stuff. Once I get my exhaust and forget to flick the button, I won’t have obnoxious startups at intersections 😂.
I heard through GM Authority site that GM was not doing that on the 21 trucks anymore this year due to the chip shortage. My AT4 is still on Order after 12 weeks. I HATE that auto stop feature too…
I would much rather press the button to turn it off everytime I start my engine, its just a second button press lol homie took the entire interior apart , Im not a car handy guy Im not doing this on my new 2023 truck 😂
Did you know that this specific product causes a 250ma draw and kills your battery in the course of a few days? Great product. I highly recommend it if you like jumpstarting your brand new truck
I've checked, and there is ZERO indication of extra battery drain in my 2022 Silverado with the Autostop Eliminator installed. 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.
Can you add link to where you purchased this and the part number please. Also, have you heard if there is a way to kill the management system (8 cylinders to 4 cylinders)? I have read that that can cause extensive wear to the push rods. Your truck is looking good by the way. I got a Black Carbon Pro 6.2.
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.
@@Donslife respect brotha I actually got a white one too with the black rims but it’s an elevation package look almost I identical to yours just not as fancy I think I’m going to order that GMC grill light you did the installation video on.
this is good option the harness eliminator but once you bring the vehicle for service and make sure to removed this or the shop cannot find the code and lose your warranty lol
I think because it is programmed to work both ways, you simply turn the truck on, push the switch and shut the ignition off. Now the truck is back in auto stop/start again like factory
@@Donslife yup but with that discount means you can’t get the tech package or driver assist technology. I’m getting bent over trying to find a 6.2 with tech and driver assist 2 package. $5-10k over msrp and dealer keeps rebates
@@Donslife You can order direct from Edge products to Canada. In stock. I am in Canada as well. Got mine in less than a week no border fees. $25 shipping. As well I have a 21 At4 Carbon Pro. Way better with Dfm disabled.
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. I hate the auto start. Such a stupid thing and very annoying
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 !!!!!
Your kidding all that work to put the override kit in? F that. Il just get in a habit of turning it off. Ridiculous to take 3/4rs of your dash off. 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 like your videos but this one your better off deleting it.
Well you got lucky one wrong move your day is starting of bad. But hey if that bugs you that bad to go thru this more power yo ya. I notice tho when you have it in trailer mode it turns off at least mine does. I use my truck mainly pulling my 29' camper the rest of the time it stays in the driveway. 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. You have great videos but this one is not one of my favorites. Il keep subscribing tho. Sorry if I came a little strong on this topic.

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.
It is nice not to have to install software and updates. Just the initial install and forget about it
Wedge the end of a toothpick between the button and it’s bezel so it’s always mechanically pushed down. 5 seconds, zero cost. , problem solved. Try it
We need to dump the EPA. They have done nothing to help the environment but have done a lot to decrease the mpg on vehicles.
I want to install this but on their website don’t have video on refresh..
Contact them?
@@Donslife I’ve done so , they might send me instructions..but a video would have been way better tho.
Does auto stop even have an affect on fuel consumption ?
It supposedly reduces fuel consumption to a small degree. However it doesn’t work in extreme cold 🥶
What a hassle to do you have to rip the whole dash apart
Some see it as that, some see it as a challenge worth tackling
Mine has a button where you just shut it off. Not really a big deal in my opinion.
Totally. What I said too until I ordered my exhaust. Plus I don’t want my arm getting tired reaching over to the button. I am not gettin’ any younger
@@Donslife respect brotha I actually got a white one too with the black rims but it’s an elevation package look almost I identical to yours just not as fancy I think I’m going to order that GMC grill light you did the installation video on.
@@847mario I like it a lot, it is a real head turner. Thanks for supporting the channel! 🙏🏻
this is good option the harness eliminator but once you bring the vehicle for service and make sure to removed this or the shop cannot find the code and lose your warranty lol
I think because it is programmed to work both ways, you simply turn the truck on, push the switch and shut the ignition off. Now the truck is back in auto stop/start again like factory
I can't stand it I just bought a brand new 2021 Chevy Silverado if I knew it had that I would have never bought it I'm going to put the bypass on also
Fun fact GM is now giving you $50 and not including this feature on new builds lol
I read that in an article too! More chip shortage issues!
@@Donslife yup but with that discount means you can’t get the tech package or driver assist technology. I’m getting bent over trying to find a 6.2 with tech and driver assist 2 package. $5-10k over msrp and dealer keeps rebates
That’s brutal man
No active fuel management! Just ordered one the other day. To me that is HUGE for engine longevity.
Auto S/S is a horrible addition to any vehicle
thanx for vido i thinks better use pulse lt its esay
You mean the Pulsar LT. I can’t find one anywhere. All backordered too from Canadian distributors. If you can find me one, I will install it.
@@Donslife You can order direct from Edge products to Canada. In stock. I am in Canada as well. Got mine in less than a week no border fees. $25 shipping. As well I have a 21 At4 Carbon Pro. Way better with Dfm disabled.
Make more videos 📹 plz. Take at4 off road
In due time!
why do manufacturers do this shit to us? pay an arm and a leg already... just give us the choice.
Frustrating
Pulsar LT is much easier and you can stay in V8 Mode.
You are correct. I wanted to try this out and don’t mind taking things apart either.
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.
I hate the auto start. Such a stupid thing and very annoying
Creative!
$100 for a relay that pushes the button for you each time you start the vehicle? LOL I'll build one myself
More mis-engineering by one of the big 3...anything to make driving less of a pleasure, and more of a chore...
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 !!!!!
One of the worst features automakers created in my opinion.
It’s annoying for sure
Now we have to remove the motor.
Yo there is a button to turn it off isn’t there 🧐??? So what’s the fuss 🤣 idiocracy at its finest ladies and gents

My guess is this mod is not for you. Now you know it exists. Thanks for watching.
Your kidding all that work to put the override kit in? F that. Il just get in a habit of turning it off. Ridiculous to take 3/4rs of your dash off. 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 like your videos but this one your better off deleting it.
No clips were harmed in the making of the video. Thanks for watching.
Well you got lucky one wrong move your day is starting of bad. But hey if that bugs you that bad to go thru this more power yo ya. I notice tho when you have it in trailer mode it turns off at least mine does. I use my truck mainly pulling my 29' camper the rest of the time it stays in the driveway. 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. You have great videos but this one is not one of my favorites. Il keep subscribing tho. Sorry if I came a little strong on this topic.
DAMN. Even as a mechanic I ain’t going thru all that
That’s crazy
That’s a pretty standard day here 😂
How to keep stereo playing, shuts off every 10 minutes. My truck is my office. 2022AT4HD
Theres no way i m taking my truck apart like that
It’s not too bad
