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.

    2020 F150

    Posted by Peter DiPasqua on Jun 11th 2021

    Update: I purchased the version 2, just plug it into the OBD and turn off your auto/stop. Once you turn it off it stays off each time you restart the vehicle. IT'S THAT SIMPLE TO OPERATE. The only reason I didn't get Version One because I wasn't sure what and how it reprograms the system. So I went with the safe route VERSION TWO

    Start/Stop Eliminator for 2018 F-150

    Posted by DD on Jun 9th 2021

    Worked like a charm. So sad our world has come to a point where we have to buy these to live in peace. Damn be the self righteous do gooders who make policy decisions thinking they are doing us a favor.

    Improves the driving quality just be removing the hassle of pushing a button. A bit expensive but improves the ownership experience of a Ford.

    I purchased the version 2 - memorizer. It took all of 2 minutes to install in my 2018 Ford F150 and it works as advertised. Well worth the money.
