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.

- Locate the diagnostic port. Find it below the steering wheel, as shown above and in the video.
- Plug in the device. Seat it securely in the port. The video shows a brief blue light when a connection is established.
- Choose your setting. Start the truck and use the factory Start / Stop button to select ON or OFF.
- 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
I am extremely satisfied with this solution. I didn't want to do the other DIY options that eliminated the smart charging function, or use FORScan (which also affects charging) This unit couldn't be any easier. WORKS AWESOME

Installation Couldn't be Simpler
Like most folks, I've learned to detest the start/stop feature in my F-150. I believe it was a major contributor to problems I had with my 2017. I upgraded to a new-to-me 2020 with the same feature. I'd developed the habit of shutting it off immediately after turning the key, although I wouldn't remember every time driving. I turned it off during my last drive. I installed the Eliminator and turned the key - the on/off switch stayed in the off position! Thanks a lot for offering this device!

F150 Start Stop Eliminator works GREAT!
I hated the auto start/stop function. It was the only thing I didn't like about my F150. I finally bought the Eliminator and it took about 30 seconds to install. Should have bought one two years ago. Just set it and forget it!
