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 I was looking for

    Posted by Andrew on Aug 16th 2021

    This is about as non invasive and simple as what I was looking for to cancel the start stop feature. It just remembers what you last were on so you have the ability to still manually push the button to turn It on. Very easy!

    Wow, works as advertised.

    Posted by Robert M. on Aug 12th 2021

    I live in South Florida and the start/stop feature is pretty much a waste of time... My F-150 would stop at a light (keep in mind it's 90 degrees here), it wou,d instantly start warming up, and restart within 30 seconds typically. So much for 'fuel savings'. I was pretty skeptical that the start/stop functionality would work as advertised. But it has, and flawlessly. Wholly recommend!

    I opted for the unit that stays in place (not the programmer) and could not be happier! Install could not be simpler, and works prefect. Highly Recommend!

    Good product almost 5 stars

    Posted by Gabe Santos on Jul 23rd 2021

    I bought this for my 2020 F-150. I've had it for several weeks now and works fine...but the other day it didn't work. I had to unplug and reinstall it. Seems to be working now. Had I not had this issue, it would be 5 stars in my book.

    Start stop

    Posted by Chris Rico on Jul 19th 2021

    Bought a 2018 f150 eco boost and every time I’d come to a stop the car would turn off. Thanks to 4dtech start stop device I don’t have that problem anymore there’s 2 awesome versions one remembers your last setting and one goes into the computer and turns it off which is 100 percent reversible. The product works and is 5 star thanks guys.
