- the engine auto shutoff was driving me crazy so luckily there is a solution for it thanks to a simple plug and play module.
maybe it's beneficial for gas mileage but I feel it puts more stress on the battery and starter. not to mention drove me crazy during a quick stop.
works great so far on the Stelvio. Should be the same for the Giulia.

Thank you for presenting our S&S deactivator.
So glad I run through your video. I recently got an 17' Giulia and this start/stop situation was freaking me out ! Thank you very much and keep up with your excellent work !
Happy to help. Enjoy the car!!!
2018 stelvio quad with this mod installed. Super easy for a someone with no mechanical experience (me) to install. Literally took 3 minutes. Works like a charm.
This feature has not worked a single time in my car for the last 6+ months until last night. I was surprised and told my friend who was with me about how annoying it is. Today I get this video in my recommendations. This makes it hard to believe my phone isn't listening to me.
Oh it for sure is. Lol thanks for watching! 🙌
It will not happen if your battery is low. Get a trickle charger!
ITs a great thing to get. Starters for these new cars cost a fortune and labor an additional fortune. Not to mention battery life reduction etc. I have a Stelvio and need to buy this. Thanks
wow great video! just picked up a 2019 Giulia Ti Sport. thxx 4 this
Glad it helped!
Just easily installed this. Great little “upgrade”. Thanks.
Happy to help. Haven't regretted it since! Thanks for watching.
Simple and superb!
Take some dense foam and wrap that ‘module’ to prevent rattle behind dash. You’ll be glad you did. That pry tool looks like a bicycle tire tool.
Thanks for watching. Good idea. 👍
Oh my god!! I can't believe it!!😱😱
You made it look harder than it really is
For sure. Didn't know what to expect the first time removing that panel. Thanks for watching.
Continental thingy is a tool to remove bicycle tyre from a rim
Am I missing something? My 2019 stelvio does not start and stop at all. I bought it used and I’m starting wonder if there was mechanic tampering on the vehicle before purchase
Hi I recently bought a ‘22 stelvio ti and the auto start/stop is driving me insane. Where can I purchase this awesome gadget? Thank you so much for a great video.
Nice, congrats and thanks for watching. The link to the product should still be in the video description.
Huge!!!
I have a Stelvio. So far it’s been great. Non issues. Has 60,000 kms.
lucky you!
@@lufetm My Stelvio is coming up for 80K and still a dream. Lots of good luck going around for Stelvio drivers it seems
There is no way to turn off start stop in giulia without modding?
My porsche I traded I turned it off once never came on again. The QV is annoying so far. My old QV I can't remember.
i just waited for mine to stop working all on it's own 😀
That's true, ahahha happens frequently I guess
👍
Thanks for watching
That is a continental tire lever...for removing bicycle tires....I have a set
Aah I see. Thanks for watching. You learn something new everyday!
Did anybody got engine light on “start/stop unavailable” after installing this software ?
Not that I'm aware of
Feel lucky my auto off never worked from the factory lol id probably do this tho.
Thanks for watching
What’s the name of it and where did you buy it from?
Alfissimo.com
Why would you want to disable the start/stop function?
It annoys me, 😆
I’ve been looking into the Stelvio but I’ve heard a lot of negative comments on Alfa as a brand. Have you had any major issues with the car?
Hey thanks for watching. My Stelvio Quadrifoglio just hit 40k miles. The car had some recalls that were addressed, battery issues (replaced). Other than that it has been okay. The 2.0 and 2.9 engines are very different and have different issues that have come up I believe. We have a 2.0 in the family that also had a battery issue. I know brand has flakey history but improving each year I believe.
Also, maintenance is super expensive if you go to the dealer.
Don't buy a 2018, or 2019. 2020 has improved radio system. Mine is only at 7k miles, no issues yet. I have purchased one of these from Aliexpress, and that one works great as well. Now I have to install the Madness Sport Plus springs and the paddle shifters.
Negative comments only come from people who know nothing about the brand. I'm telling you, as a family with three bmw's, it's a pain in the ass with these cars and i'm looking to switch from my 3 series to Giulia. Can't wait.
Hi, don't buy an Alfa, stick with whatever brand you are using as transport. If you drive an Alfa you'll be addicted.
I'm on my second Stelvio. I drove a 911, for ten years, before I decided to get an SUV. The Stelivio has made me an Alfa fan of the first order. Has been pristine as far as maintenance. Zero issues, and the performance brings a smile to my face every time I drive it. I LOVE the Stelvio.
Is there a company name or part number for this
Thanks for watching. I put a link in the description.
Where i can buy this??

Where's the link to order one
Looks like the link I posted is bad now. Here's a new one. shop.alfissimo.com/home/1640-startstop-deactivator-for-giuliastelvio.html
This Continental tool looks like a bicycle tire tool 🤣
Ya that's what I've been told b4. Thx for watching
Yes, it is quality bicycle tire tool. We tried number of plastic tools before we releasrd the product, and all car dedicated which would be low price were worth nothing, in oppose these bicycle levers we found perfect for the job and still not expensive. Actually I love the lever for any jobs in the car - I use it say >50% of jobs I do in my own Giulia no matter I have 2 sets of quality car levers - especially for levering out steering wheel panel (retrofit of ACP buttons or red start button) - its strong and gentle edges - love it.
This doesn't void a factory warranty or anything, would it?
Oh I'm sure the dealer would say it does but I have no clue. I'd remove it when bringing it in just incase...Thanks for watching.
@@alphaautoadventures yeah, I’ve been told as long as the mod doesn’t involve any splicing of some sort you should be good. But like you suggested… I don’t trust that lol.
Ya, I know someone who had a GPS tracker installed as a dealer option at alfa and then another dealer wouldnt cover another issue under warranty due to the tracker. Total BS.
I’ve been told by my local dealership, upgrades don’t void the warranty but it your upgrade caused an issue, it won’t be covered. So if you stared having electrical issues and they found this was added, they might tell you it won’t be covered. I was also told…their mechanics won’t really know your upgrades unless they can cosmetically see the diff.
That’s one dealership though
What this mod do
Sets the engine shutoff default to off
why would i want to turn the start stop off completely? this makes no sense. Yall seen the price of gas :)
Thans for watching. This Mod actually just defaults it to off. You can still turn it on when you want it. I just typically prefer to have it off. Don't see a big difference in gas.
…2020 Giulia Veloce, 20t miles, no issues, except that it made me an Alfa addict. Nice video and interesting to see what the aftersales market can do, but honestly… the start/stop is a feature you WANT to have. Never heard of extra stress for other components, plus it DOES save gas AND is helpful for the environment! Seams more like a downgrade to me.
Thanks for watching! Enjoy the ride!!!
I've decided to turn off the feature because it almost cost me my life. There was no way in hell I was keeping that feature on after the car turned off in that split second when i needed to accelerate on the crossroads. Also, it's super annoying and damaging the battery I think.
@@grtbgf …it doesn‘t damage the battery. Sorry for your experience! I don‘t know the details of that, but I can‘t think of a situation where that could have happened. If you can‘t completely clear the intersection you shouldn‘t enter it.
@@ArminWoods Well, basically i stopped at an intersection, and in the second which took me to look left and right, my car turned off, but kept moving a bit, as i was planning to step on the gas and join the traffic quickly. The problem is the car was manual, and by the time i figured out that the car is off, and the car needing an extra second to turn on again after i step on the clutch, i was already stuck on the road with a truck going towards me. Luckily, he stopped, and nothing happened to me except that i freaked out.
As far as automatics go, I don't have problem with the car turning off at the lights or in traffic jams, thats alright, but my bmw keeps turning off while i'm manouvering at parking spots. It turns off even between reverse and drive, which is super dumb and annoying, it's just.. infuriating..
@@grtbgf …ah, with the clutch version I understand well! Yep, scary as it turns off in neutral and kind of keeps rolling if you‘re not on the breaks! It‘s another world with an automatic!
Over $100!!! Lmao I’ll just stick to pushing the button. I figured it would be like $13 plus some for shipping but over $100 is absurd.
Pay for convenience I guess.
Why?... Why do people have an issue with stop/start? I don´t get it. Also: IT`S A REGULATORY THING, not something the manufacturers want on the cars.
Thanks for watching. For more aggressive drivers that don't want to car to shut off when they are about to accelerate after a quick stop...That could be one reason. Also, less stress on the starter according to my mechanic.
Start Stop is useful on some occasions however most of the time it makes little to no difference to fuel consumption. Super annoying in traffic unless it's a standstill and as stated, places unnecessary wear on things like the battery, starter etc.
I hate the delay from off to on. Turned it off on my F150 and will do the same on the Giulia
@@brentkhack6404 thanks for watching 🙌
@@alphaautoadventures if I'm about to drive aggressively, I'll flip the DNA switch to D or race, flip the gearstick to manual and switch off the stop/start. Otherwise, there's no need to switch it off, imo. The starter should cope with it, no problem.
guys just press the button lol i dont understand the big deal about it
One less thing to think of. Simple mod to meet my preference. Easy choice.
