This is absolutely the easiest way to disable the auto start. Everything comes in the kit took me 15 minutes to install it. And with my truck, I did not have to wait eight hours for a power down. It started instantaneously.
Just installed this. Works great! Was a little worried I could not drive for 8hrs after plugging in but directions allow it to be ran if needed. It just has to sit for up to 8hrs to work. Drive it if you need to.
That’s a nice option versus removing console and lower dash. I put the behind the dash version eliminator on my wife’s 23 Suburban but it was to the left of the steering wheel and simple to access.
Absolutely ridiculous to do any of this. Just tap the on/off button for the stupid auto stop feature which is on the dash each time you start up the engine. Surely you do not think that is a difficult thing to do. Right?
A button on my dash to turn off Auto stop is just NOT that big of a deal to me. If a button wasn't easily accessible and was in the glove compartment or under the seat, then I would be interested in this product.
I just installed one on my 24 Sierra Denali, That dam thing drove me crazy. On my 2018 SLT they called it a hybrid, had a huge battery and the start stop just shut the vehicle down and it was like it held it in a pause mode, when I let off the brake it just went again, no starting. I liked that one but I was more than happy to spend the money to eliminate that starting on this /24
Definitely need this installed because if not it is hard in your engine and starter and battery to keep starting, I get it your trying to save fuel but there is an extent.
2021 GMC AT4; put the switch that goes behind the center console two years ago. For me it was a safety concern, I pull up to a stop (usually for a right turn) then the truck shuts off when I want to make the turn and accelerate. If your trying to merge into traffic with a vehicle that cycles off then has to restart? There are many right turns with merging lanes in my area with a vehicle that shuts down ain't fun.
I got the other one that goes in the dash for my 2021. Just $99 ($135CAD). This one at $140 ($190CAD) is a bit too expensive. Taking apart the dash wasn't that bad. Given a choice, I still would have gone with the other one.
Where did you get your oil cap? That’s badass Any updates on banks derringer for the 3.0 Seeing some fully deleted LM2 do you have to tune or just cut off the egr ? Thanks
Thanks ! It's a PPE oil cap. The Derringer will come out after the 6.6 one comes out. Priority to the new 6.6 but the tech from that derringer rolls to us.
You aint getting one for a while maybe ever. The 6.7 powerstroke for 20 and up has been coming soon for two years and they say they are still researching the 3.0l dmax. Dont hold your breath imo
For me, I just make it a habit of going from the start button to disengaging the stop/start feature. Total cost: $0.00. And it cuts down on two things . . . the level of aggravation and the number of times the car starts over the engines expected life.
If you were to ever have funky electrical system gremlins popping up , beware that aftermarket add on's causing diagnostic trouble shooting time will NOT be warranty covered ,especially if they cause a component failure of some kind , they will totally void the entire vehicle warranty coverage
That is not remotely true. If you have an electrical issue that the add on part is causing then the repair would be at your expense, but the rest of the vehicle would be warrantied.
Range technology makes a plug that disables the auto start and the cylinder shut off. 200 bucks from Amazon and you can keep your truck in v8 mode with no shut off all the time
@@MINIHAHA1 thanks for the info. I checked it out and it only disabled the cylinder shut off, not the auto stop/start. I'll keep looking for something that does both for a reasonable cost.
It seems like a great alternative to the little harness you plug in behind the dash. The only concern is that they don’t mention anywhere on the site what their module is doing to override start/stop. So how is a consumer supposed to just put their trust in this individual blindly that it won’t negatively impact other systems on the truck?
You must never "trust the individual blindly that it won't negatively impact other systems on the truck". The driver of the vehicle (the consumer) is presumed to be intelligent enough to know to tap the "on/off" button on the dash (which has a yellow light to indicate whether it is on or off) to disable the auto engine stop/start feature when you get into the vehicle after you start the vehicle up or at any time while you are driving the vehicle. Yes, you the consumer does have to tap that button each time you drive the vehicle. You also have to press the AC button to "on" or "off" each time you want to turn the AC on or off. The consumer also has to flip the light switch at home to turn the lights on or off. This can be done without having to disable your home's electric power. Flipping the light switch is not very difficult to do. Neither is tapping the on/off button for the auto stop/start. You think?
I’m going to go out in a limb here and say that all that unit is doing is making the Battery Load Management system think there is too large of a load to allow the auto start stop system to shut down. Whether or not this has a negative effect on your battery or alternator I wouldn’t know but I would personally avoid messing with a system like your charging system especially if you venture out far with your truck like some of us do.
All it need to do is reduce the voltage during startup, the rest of the time it can give the system the full battery voltage. The vehicle is looking for enough voltage during startup to confirm that the correct battery / a good healthy battery is installed. All it does is trick the system into thinking that the battery is not rated for fast startups required by the auto stop-start system.
It comes on with the defrost on, I think its partially temperature controlled, then whatever draw is on the battery. So if you have a lot of stuff on, like stereo, defroster or A/C and headlights then it won't come on as often.@@ShiftEnvy
You can also drive it with the transmission in manual and it won't shut the truck off, for free, your welcome... Plus transmission shifts much smoother
@@travispinkerton9916 no problem! The 6.6 is obviously their priority and we are next up. The hood thing about that, what they learn and apply to that platform rolls to us.
start-stop is actually harmless, these cars have heavyduty-starters and batteries, from factory. They are meant to stand more starting-cycles than older cars. Other systems are also beeft-up in these cars.
I know many focus on the starter and battery and I agree, that's a non-issue. The concerns I have with it is the going from heavy load to a stop and immediate shutdown, you now lost all oil flow to lubricate and cool as well as all coolant flow to maintain the cooling. This is especially bad when turbochargers can be over 1000 degrees quite often.
ya no need if you can just do plug and play under the hood. im kind of worried about the one i have now if i ever have to take the truck in. Dealer might spend hours trying to figure out why my dash says auto start off every time the trucks started with out hitting the button. Then hand me a bill.
@@JCunningham21with the under dash version you can actually turn auto start/stop back on by pressing the button, it merely remembers your setting and holds it there.
@@JCunningham21 the ECM reads module voltage, not current flowing through the battery. The BCM reads from the battery current sensor, which is what this product is falsifying, and then sends information to the ECM on needs for charging and the auto stop/start. So my guess is you will not only lose fuel economy due to not auto stopping, you'll also lose fuel economy to running the alternator more to charge a battery that doesn't need charged. $140 to lose fuel economy and fix and problem that doesn't exist while also putting more strain on your alternator. That's what I call a fail of a product.
Does this affect how the BMS or whatever charges the battery? Seems like it tricks the system into thinking there isn’t enough voltage for the Auto Start Stop, which may influence how the system treats the battery (as I’ve heard these modern systems regulate voltage depending on State of Charge and battery condition etc).
Just tap the damn "on/off" button on the dash to disable the stupid federally mandated auto ignition stop/start system every time you drive. The button even has a light to show whether the system is on or off. Nothing about your vehicle is easier to understand or to do than tapping that auto ignition start/stop on/off button. There is absolutely no need to permanently disable the auto stop/start system. Ever. The vehicle manufacturer could not have made this more simple.
@@roberthenry9319 With that mindset, why get electric windows, just manually roll them down each time yourself. Its a ridiculous concept. It does not save fuel by stopping at a 4 way stop, to shut off then immediately back on within a 1 min, but it does cause reduction in part life because ignitions, pumps, relays, etc can only be cycled so many times before they fail.
@roberthenry9319 Actually, it is a major inconvenience and safety concern. First, every time I get into my car to drive, I have to press 3 or 4 buttons and warnings just to get my vehicle to function. These federally mandated warnings and "features", have now become a burden. I will gladly pay to eliminate every one that I can. Secondarily, I've almost gotten into an accident on a few occasions because my vehicle shut off and it takes a few seconds to start back up if you need to quickly accelerate or get out of the way in traffic.
6 cylinder duramax diesel? I’ve had (2), both with an overpowering coolant smell that’s most prominent from the passenger side fender/hood area but can also be smelled inside the truck. Have you experienced this?
Yes, if your coolant level is low, then I suggest you take a look at my video on leaks to give you some ideas on where to look. If no coolant loss, then it's likely the same thing most of us have which is just a smell from the coolant reservoir cap purging. czcams.com/video/HLhqwX_3ByI/video.html

Any help with the operating system saying "sorry i'm offline and can't help you with that" almost every day at random time driving 2023 Silverado? I don't have a subscription to the service and don't want one.
This will keep it idling- so no However it will increase turbo longevity because it has constant oil feed if it doesn't shut off as opposed to intermittent
I installed this and it also disabled the feature that enables the automatic seat heaters from coming on when the temp falls below a certain threshold. Is this normal? What else does it turn off besides the auto stop?
Yeah, my truck normally applies the seat and steering wheel heaters after I remote start when it is cold in the mornings and this morning after installing the unit that did not happen. Very odd.@@DemonWorks
Definitely odd, maybe coincidence or maybe change in outside temp is high enough for it to decide not to enable. This is something I have not experienced though, unfortunately.
A little off subject but I asked this question once before and maybe you addressed it but do any of the PPE or VSE mods you talk about void any warranty coverage with GM?@@DemonWorks
I installed one and it makes my left speaker pop when I turn the signal light for the first time ,Then after that its fine?But when I start it up again pop then its all fine.
Did you contact the manufacturer? It doesn't make sense to me since this unit just makes the system think the battery is warm... but anything can happen I suppose.
Looks like it disables/bypasses the high energy capacitor on the battery. Without that, system will not function. Think you can also replace the expensive AGM battery with a standard battery. Same results, no high energy capacitor for the AS system. Save a couple hundred dollars on the batteries too. 🤷♂️
Not currently. The plan was to install the other style that plugs into the switch, but I haven't had time to install that one since it requires interior panels to be removed. Instead, I just reach over every time and push the switch, then sigh, then tell myself i really need to install the bypass.
Wonder how it works, it must trick the computer that the battery is at a lower voltage then it really is. So computer never calls for AUTO/START/STOP. Just a guess.
I hate that stupid auto stop, as well as the electronic dshifter. I hope they go back to steering column shifter and get rid of some of those stupid electronics gadgets that cause so many issues
Why couldnt GM just made it so the stop/start is deactivated every time you start the truck then you can just engage it when your stuck in a drive threw or something... so dumb
Probably affects your auto head lights too! I tried my truck into an error… auto stop … stopped working but also the auto head lights stopped working … which is more annoying… A better way to bynpass is to just turn on AC… set LO … min fan speed and blow on wind shield … auto stop … stopped working also…
@@DemonWorks well … if you set it manually to LOW. And low fan speed… in theory .. it will never reach the temp… so will never auto stop :). It’s the only “free” solution in the summer … winter .. not so much ..
Ac on it will still shut off, if the cab temp meets requirements. I don’t plan on showing any more videos of this is use, sorry. There’s no commissions for me on this, just sharing a product I found… they also have a return policy if needed…
I cannot find any videos on how to unplug the Onstar box on the 2022 refreshed trail boss. Older version vids are on here but not the newer ones. I guess its time for me to find it. @@DemonWorks
Anyone else have issues getting this ordered? The website is blank when I try to order it after picking my vehicle. Update: Literally post this and then it works. So just comment on this video if you have this issue 😂
I guess you can say that if you sit there and stare at it. Or, you could just install it in the 20 seconds and continue on with life then once you wake up the next morning you're all set. Hope your day gets better, Don.
Wait 8hours to power down all the modules ??? Kinda concerning as newer vehicles have so many features, if you’re powering down all modules some of these convenience features and safety need to be recalibrated, have you ran a pre/post scan to see everything is in working order. Btw not all faults will light up on your dash to let you know, you will truly only know if you run scans, and btw not with a cheap $20 wal mart obd plug in, actual autel or snap on scanners.
Nothing needs to be recalibrated, you are simply not touching the truck for that time period, much like getting home from work and not driving the truck until the next morning. I use a gm scantool, the MDI 2 with GDS 2, no $20 scan tool here.
@@DemonWorks I too found that the Auto Start/Stop is overridden when the AC is on, with an exception. I found that the AC has to be on LOW with fan up about 1/4. If temp is set to say 68+, then the Auto Start/Stop doesn't seem to be affected. It caught me off guard because I thought that was the "temp" solution until I installed a permanent one
It's just amazing all the haters.. If you own the truck just 3 years and use it once a day, that is1095 button pushes. Under a penny a push. Thanks for the idea.
Does the auto stop start cause long term issues with spark plug or engine issues? Need to know from reliable experts, please no boomer tier advice from the 1980s or 1990s time frame
Couple things to think about, when an engine is hot, the oil is used to cool it as is the coolant. When the engine is shut off while hot, it no longer has flowing coolant or oil. Side note, if towing and using tow haul mode (gm trucks), temperatures are typically greater and the system will actually deactivate the auto stop system. Take that however you want but that tells me that stopping an engine when it's hot then restarting it and doing that over and over is something even the gm engineers don't want.
@@Multimeter1 I agree and it's been a topic I wanted to cover but I haven't been able to come up with a way to show it. One day i will get a graphical representation figured out and do it.

Wait how do you record and use carplay
When i try to record or use mic while using carplay there is no vice
Separate camera used, not my phone.
$140? No thanks. I’ll just push the button.
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure if you hold the start button for 10 seconds it shuts off the auto start stop mode.
There's a button on the dash to shut it off.
Holding the start button down for 10sec stops the car/truck from shutting down after idling a while.
Any help with the operating system saying "sorry i'm offline and can't help you with that" almost every day at random time driving 2023 Silverado? I don't have a subscription to the service and don't want one.
I have no help for ya, unfortunately. I do not like the google system ...
My truck also says the same thing to me usually in the first mile of driving but randomly!
Auto stop does not make my Sierra with the 6.2 jumpy at all, smooth and hardly notice at all. My old Ford made the whole vehicle shudder.
Will this work on 2020 Sierra RST as well?
Yes, it should. Double check with the website but it's the same setup.
How about take 2 second and push the button that is in every start/stop car.
fill it up and drive ! Thanks for watching
Would this be useful in traffic so truck doesn’t idle as much?
This will keep it idling- so no
However it will increase turbo longevity because it has constant oil feed if it doesn't shut off as opposed to intermittent
Would this work on my ram 2024 1500 hemi ?
Unfortunately, I do not know. i would reach out to the manufacturer.
I installed this and it also disabled the feature that enables the automatic seat heaters from coming on when the temp falls below a certain threshold. Is this normal? What else does it turn off besides the auto stop?
I do not see how that would affect the seat heaters like that. It definitely did not do that to mine.
Yeah, my truck normally applies the seat and steering wheel heaters after I remote start when it is cold in the mornings and this morning after installing the unit that did not happen. Very odd.@@DemonWorks
Definitely odd, maybe coincidence or maybe change in outside temp is high enough for it to decide not to enable. This is something I have not experienced though, unfortunately.
A little off subject but I asked this question once before and maybe you addressed it but do any of the PPE or VSE mods you talk about void any warranty coverage with GM?@@DemonWorks
I installed one and it makes my left speaker pop when I turn the signal light for the first time ,Then after that its fine?But when I start it up again pop then its all fine.
Did you contact the manufacturer? It doesn't make sense to me since this unit just makes the system think the battery is warm... but anything can happen I suppose.
@@DemonWorks I sent them a massage see what happens.
does doing that effect the warrentee?
I would think so because you’re putting in aftermarket stuff.
I believe so because it’s aftermarket.
Looks like it disables/bypasses the high energy capacitor on the battery. Without that, system will not function. Think you can also replace the expensive AGM battery with a standard battery. Same results, no high energy capacitor for the AS system. Save a couple hundred dollars on the batteries too. 🤷♂️
I put this in. Worked about 2 months then truck started doing auto stop again???
Contact them, I bet you get a replacement.
$150 for this module or $99 for the one that goes behind the dash?!? Seems like the pricing is a bit high to justify for me...just my thoughts.
I hear ya, I have both but opted to install this one because it was so much more convenient.
My 82 Chevy doesn't have that problem
I wonder why 🙄
Do you run this in your zr2?
Not currently. The plan was to install the other style that plugs into the switch, but I haven't had time to install that one since it requires interior panels to be removed. Instead, I just reach over every time and push the switch, then sigh, then tell myself i really need to install the bypass.
Great videos. Keep em up!
What’s the reason for wanting to install a different product on the new truck since this one is so easy to instal?
@@michaelanderson350I try to test and show the installation of every product available.
Wonder how it works, it must trick the computer that the battery is at a lower voltage then it really is. So computer never calls for AUTO/START/STOP. Just a guess.
Manipulated battery temp reading.
The shit you all have to go through with these new vehicles 😂
BUT NOW THE CLIMATE WILL WARM !!!! I'm too cheap, I just turn it off each time I get in my rig.
run the ac all summer it has never stop/start since....
I hate that stupid auto stop, as well as the electronic dshifter. I hope they go back to steering column shifter and get rid of some of those stupid electronics gadgets that cause so many issues
What are the recommended services for the miles you have on a 3.0 Duramax. Like differentials, transfer case and transmission?
Probably something that can easily be looked up on the interwebs….
@@Broncort1 no need for the asshole response.
No need for the smartass response
Does it void any warranty
Only your dealer can answer that as all are different. 20 second installation.
Yes
Why couldnt GM just made it so the stop/start is deactivated every time you start the truck then you can just engage it when your stuck in a drive threw or something... so dumb
I love the auto stop, helps me get 17-23 mpg.
Probably affects your auto head lights too!
I tried my truck into an error… auto stop … stopped working but also the auto head lights stopped working … which is more annoying…
A better way to bynpass is to just turn on AC… set LO … min fan speed and blow on wind shield … auto stop … stopped working also…
no headlight changes here. Also, the a/c doesn't disable the auto stop, it will just occur less frequently dependent on in cab temps.
@@DemonWorks well … if you set it manually to LOW. And low fan speed… in theory .. it will never reach the temp… so will never auto stop :). It’s the only “free” solution in the summer … winter .. not so much ..
@@viperkiller0071 my ac is on 100% of the time, it still auto stops.
Auto stop-start can save 5 to 10% on fuel depending on your driving habits.
I can see where it can be annoying in a non hybrid vehicle.
Yea: and I’ve had mine try to kill me at a quick start! I disabled it in all my vehicles.
Can you show us this with the ac off, when the ac is running it will not shut off
Ac on it will still shut off, if the cab temp meets requirements. I don’t plan on showing any more videos of this is use, sorry. There’s no commissions for me on this, just sharing a product I found… they also have a return policy if needed…
Your Truck a diesel or gas ?
Diesel
Love mine. Now tell me how to neuter the Onstar entirely. I want it GONE.
I agree !!! the Onstar is very annoying.
I cannot find any videos on how to unplug the Onstar box on the 2022 refreshed trail boss. Older version vids are on here but not the newer ones. I guess its time for me to find it. @@DemonWorks
Interesting. I have Onstar and I am never even aware of it. How is it annoying?
I put that on my 2019 chevy equinox. Now my remote start doesnt work.
Typically that is caused by a Check Engine light on, do you have a check engine light on the dash?
No check engine light@@DemonWorks
No check engine@@DemonWorks
Probably void warranty
Anyone else have issues getting this ordered? The website is blank when I try to order it after picking my vehicle.
Update: Literally post this and then it works. So just comment on this video if you have this issue 😂
So takes about 9 hours to install got it.
I guess you can say that if you sit there and stare at it. Or, you could just install it in the 20 seconds and continue on with life then once you wake up the next morning you're all set. Hope your day gets better, Don.
Just unplug the wire on the battery that’s all you have to do
Unplug what wire?
I thought all you had to do was unplug the connector at the battery and youre done!
I never tried that, I would assume that would set a check engine light.
@@DemonWorks I had just watched it on a YT before I watched yours. Idk about the check engine light, he didnt say.
Wait 8hours to power down all the modules ??? Kinda concerning as newer vehicles have so many features, if you’re powering down all modules some of these convenience features and safety need to be recalibrated, have you ran a pre/post scan to see everything is in working order. Btw not all faults will light up on your dash to let you know, you will truly only know if you run scans, and btw not with a cheap $20 wal mart obd plug in, actual autel or snap on scanners.
Nothing needs to be recalibrated, you are simply not touching the truck for that time period, much like getting home from work and not driving the truck until the next morning. I use a gm scantool, the MDI 2 with GDS 2, no $20 scan tool here.
Instead of Drive, put the truck in L and set the Gear to 10. Auto Stop/Start doesnt work in L Mode.
Good suggestion! In my case, I would rather hit the button on the dash than lose 10th gear.
So your fix for an annoying 1 button sequence is to insert an 11 button sequence?
If you stop slowly it doesn't even engage.
However pushed this crap through should be sent to Siberia.
Leave the A/C on. Problem solved
negative, my a/c is always on ...
@@DemonWorks I too found that the Auto Start/Stop is overridden when the AC is on, with an exception. I found that the AC has to be on LOW with fan up about 1/4. If temp is set to say 68+, then the Auto Start/Stop doesn't seem to be affected. It caught me off guard because I thought that was the "temp" solution until I installed a permanent one
In 6 years they will tell you that you ruined your truck because you didn't use the feature!
All that does is mess with the battery state of charge
Not the case, temp.
cost to make is like $10 lol
Nope not paying for more shit to turn it off!
It's just amazing all the haters.. If you own the truck just 3 years and use it once a day, that is1095 button pushes. Under a penny a push. Thanks for the idea.
Well said!
Does the auto stop start cause long term issues with spark plug or engine issues? Need to know from reliable experts, please no boomer tier advice from the 1980s or 1990s time frame
Couple things to think about, when an engine is hot, the oil is used to cool it as is the coolant. When the engine is shut off while hot, it no longer has flowing coolant or oil. Side note, if towing and using tow haul mode (gm trucks), temperatures are typically greater and the system will actually deactivate the auto stop system. Take that however you want but that tells me that stopping an engine when it's hot then restarting it and doing that over and over is something even the gm engineers don't want.
@@DemonWorksthis could be a next video idea. Would love photos and visual examples of why it’s bad from and engineering stand point
@@Multimeter1 I agree and it's been a topic I wanted to cover but I haven't been able to come up with a way to show it. One day i will get a graphical representation figured out and do it.
I'm glad my 2024 HD Silverado doesn't have this nonsense.
