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.

    This is the best 100$ I have ever spent! I love my truck and the start / stop feature was a pain in the ass! I love that someone found a way to get rid of it! Great work! Thanks.

    Absolutely works as advertised. Easy to install. Must have if you work where you need to be in and out of your truck. I work in Agriculture so a necessity.

    Start/Stop Eliminator

    Posted by Joe Dougherty on Nov 21st 2020

    I recently did an upgrade from halogen to LED headlamps on my 2020 Ford F-150 STX. When driving, and after Auto Start/Stop would engage at a stop light or intersection, I noted a strong flicker of the headlights when releasing the brake. The surge of power when the engine restarted was the cause. This, I thought, can't be good. 4DTech's Eliminator was the solution. The OBD unit is simple to install - put the truck in accessory mode, plug the Eliminator in, wait for the light, done. Auto Start/Stop now remains OFF on all restarts, and I still have the ability to use it if I like. And if I need to use the OBD port for other purposes, I can plug the Eliminator back in when finished and retain its function. No more LED flicker, and no more having to turn off a feature I rarely use and really didn't want. Super job by the 4DTech team. Highly recommended.
