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.

    What an easy installation

    Posted by Douglas I Hagen on May 7th 2020

    They are not kidding about how easy this is to install, plugged it in, waited for the green light, and no more auto engine stop/start. I would recommend this to everyone!!

    start/stop eliminator

    Posted by Edward Thompson on Mar 11th 2020

    I ordered this one because of how well my last one worked. I was a little disappointed that the device must be left plugged in this time. The instructs did not say that it must be left plugged in. [4D Tech] Edward - You purchased our "Version 2" which stays plugged in and makes no programming changes. You could have purchased our "Version 1" which makes a programming change and does not stay plugged in.

    I absolutely hate the start/stop function on my Ford F-150. This unit instantly stopped the nonsense. Cheaper than therapy .

    Auto Start/Stop eliminator

    Posted by John K on Jan 20th 2020

    I was doing research on a way to get rid of the annoying Auto Start/Stop feature that has been forced on to F-150 owners. I came across a variety of different ways to deal with it and like the idea of something as simple as this. Literally you just plug it in and let it do it's job then unplug it and you are all set. It could not be any easier.
