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 F-150. Choose OFF to keep the engine running at stops, or choose ON to use the factory system. Your dashboard button continues to work normally, and remote start is retained.

Leave the device plugged in. It operates through the diagnostic port while installed; it does not make programming changes to your truck.

Check your fitment

Fits 2015–2020 Ford F-150, including all trim levels and Raptor equipped with factory Auto Start / Stop. Match your model year before ordering.

Plug into the diagnostic port

No tools or trim removal are required. Watch the complete installation video.

Start / Stop Eliminator plugs into the diagnostic port below the F-150 steering wheel
  1. Locate the diagnostic port. Find it below the steering wheel, as shown above and in the video.
  2. Plug in the device. Seat it securely in the port. The video shows a brief blue light when a connection is established.
  3. Choose your setting. Start the truck and use the factory Start / Stop button to select ON or OFF.
  4. Leave it connected. The device remembers your selection between drives while it remains plugged in.

Removing the device restores normal factory operation. A paper quick-start guide is included. Contact our support team if you need help.

Does it need to stay plugged in?

Yes. This is a leave-in memory device, not a programmer that you unplug after installation. It occupies the diagnostic port while in use. Remove it when the port is needed for vehicle diagnostics, then reconnect it afterward.

    F150 Start/Stop Eliminator

    Posted by Tom Wolsos on Sep 14th 2026

    I dealt with the STUPID Start/Stop Feature on my 2020 F150 Pickup Truck for coming on 6 years. My neighbor told me about the device from 4D Tech. I purchased the 4D Tech FLASH and pluged it in within less than a minute. From now on when I start my engine this Start/Stop has been shut off. No more dealing with this. Thank You for designing and producing such a great product. Give it a try, you will love.

    The first unit sent to me didn’t work. I sent an email. Right away I was sent a replacement that works great. So easy to use and no more hassle. Outstanding product and service.

    Works great It took care of the complete moron that thought of the switch. It would end up ruining an very expensive starter to save one or two tanks of gas over the life of the vehicle
