Product details
Your preferred setting, every drive
The 4D Tech Start / Stop Eliminator remembers your Auto Start / Stop setting and restores it when you start your Explorer. Choose OFF to keep the engine running at stops, or choose ON to use the factory system. Your factory button continues to work normally, and remote start is retained.
Check your fitment
Fits 2025–2027 Ford Explorer, all trim levels, with or without the factory wireless charger. For a 2020–2024 Explorer, use our separate 2020–2024 listing.
Installation in the passenger footwell
The device connects inline at the gateway module below the glovebox, near the upper edge of the passenger-footwell carpet. No tools are required for the procedure shown in our video.
Watch the complete installation video before beginning.
- Expose the connection. Locate the metal gateway module peeking above the carpet and carefully pull the carpet down, as shown in the video.
- Move the protective bracket. Move the metal connector guard down only as shown to reach the connector. Take care around its sharp edges.
- Release the factory connector. The release tab is on the back of the connector, in the middle. Push the connector inward first, firmly press and hold the release tab, then pull the connector out gently. Do not pull on the wires.
- Connect the device inline. Plug the factory connector into the Start / Stop Eliminator, then connect the other end to the gateway module. Seat the connections firmly until they click.
- Secure and finish. Return the protective bracket to position. Tuck the device and wiring out of the way, using the included zip tie as shown, and put the carpet back in place. Start the vehicle and use the factory button to select your preferred setting.
Jump to the connector-release demonstration. If the connector will not release, stop and contact our support team.
A paper quick-start guide is included.

A two minute installation in my 2025 Ford Explorer!
I previously installed the 4D Tech Start/Stop Eliminator in my '23 Ford Explorer ST and because of the location (under the dash/behind the steering wheel) it was a complete nightmare to install. I recently installed this 4D Tech Start/Stop Eliminator in my '25 Ford Explorer Platinum and WOW was it freaking EASY! I had been dreading this installation for days until I watched the installation video and was blown away. Works as described (and exactly like my previous one.) Five stars, baby!!

Auto start stop 2025 ford explorer
Works great. Most need a charging pad to use this model didn’t need the charging pad which was great because my car wasn’t equipped with one.

Start/stop device.
Purchased anti stop start device for 2025 ford explorer st. Device arrives super quick, and is super easy to install. Instantly shuts off the ridiculous engine cut off at stop signs and traffic(which kills a/c as well). Device works perfectly, and has no other effects on anything else in car’s electronics. 4dtech’s products are top notch!

Explorer (2025) Start / Stop Eliminator
This inline cable is easy to install, and it works as advertised. It remembers how your start/stop switch was set from your last use. Instead of having your vehicle default to killing the engine at every stop, it will keep your last setting active at your next start up. For me, it's always set off.

Start / Stop Eliminator
This brings back sanity and all that's right in the world. My only concern was re-positioning and tucking away of the wiring so it doesn't rub on any sharp metal but that was an issue with the short length of the stock wiring. Just an FYI for installing. I'm and extremely pleased with the Start / Stop Eliminator and I recommend it highly.
