GONE IN 20 Seconds - Auto Stop Start ALL GM Vehicles 

Absolutely ridiculous to do any of this. Just tap the on/off button for the stupid auto stop feature which is on the dash each time you start up the engine. Surely you do not think that is a difficult thing to do. Right?

😂 I agree lol

Yep! And when I forget, I get reminded at first stoplight lol Cheers!

@@philipchesley9615 That's the point, so you don't get annoyed ever again.. for years of ownership. Its worth the $ for peace of mind.

That’s something that probably cost $10 to make in Guangdong China.

Yeah, not for that price. I will push the button.

Make sure it doesn’t effect your warranty

HA HA, NICE !!! you're the real hero !

Doesn’t the AT4 have a shut off switch?

Thanks !

No problem 👍

Great to hear!

Thanks ! It's a PPE oil cap. The Derringer will come out after the 6.6 one comes out. Priority to the new 6.6 but the tech from that derringer rolls to us.

You aint getting one for a while maybe ever. The 6.7 powerstroke for 20 and up has been coming soon for two years and they say they are still researching the 3.0l dmax. Dont hold your breath imo

@@DemonWorksyou have any inside info on the derringer now? Years and years and still nothing

No issues with it, has been working as designed since installed.

Just tap the damn "on/off" button on the dash to disable the stupid federally mandated auto ignition stop/start system every time you drive. The button even has a light to show whether the system is on or off. Nothing about your vehicle is easier to understand or to do than tapping that auto ignition start/stop on/off button. There is absolutely no need to permanently disable the auto stop/start system. Ever. The vehicle manufacturer could not have made this more simple.

@@roberthenry9319 I dont own one of these, or a truck with start stop, just curious being todays machinery is quite complex and integrated.

I've had this same kit on my wife's 2018 Enclave for years with no issues. No shut off button on those cars :/

@@roberthenry9319 With that mindset, why get electric windows, just manually roll them down each time yourself. Its a ridiculous concept. It does not save fuel by stopping at a 4 way stop, to shut off then immediately back on within a 1 min, but it does cause reduction in part life because ignitions, pumps, relays, etc can only be cycled so many times before they fail.

​@roberthenry9319 Actually, it is a major inconvenience and safety concern. First, every time I get into my car to drive, I have to press 3 or 4 buttons and warnings just to get my vehicle to function. These federally mandated warnings and "features", have now become a burden. I will gladly pay to eliminate every one that I can. Secondarily, I've almost gotten into an accident on a few occasions because my vehicle shut off and it takes a few seconds to start back up if you need to quickly accelerate or get out of the way in traffic.

The light on the switch stays on.

Yes, if your coolant level is low, then I suggest you take a look at my video on leaks to give you some ideas on where to look. If no coolant loss, then it's likely the same thing most of us have which is just a smell from the coolant reservoir cap purging. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HLhqwX_3ByI.html

@@DemonWorks Thanks, I appreciate it

Once you see the 6.6 Derringer arrive, we will get ours

@@DemonWorks thanks dude. Will keep checking daily. Banks is the only name I can trust

@@travispinkerton9916 no problem! The 6.6 is obviously their priority and we are next up. The hood thing about that, what they learn and apply to that platform rolls to us.

agreed, no lights on the dash or within the system. I did a full system scan on a prior video for a scantool.

What about voltage on the dash? Does it show low?

the sensor this hooks too is just for the auto start i think. The ECM reads voltage @@ErikBansberg

@@JCunningham21 the ECM reads module voltage, not current flowing through the battery. The BCM reads from the battery current sensor, which is what this product is falsifying, and then sends information to the ECM on needs for charging and the auto stop/start. So my guess is you will not only lose fuel economy due to not auto stopping, you'll also lose fuel economy to running the alternator more to charge a battery that doesn't need charged. $140 to lose fuel economy and fix and problem that doesn't exist while also putting more strain on your alternator. That's what I call a fail of a product.

you are not losing any fuel economy buy not auto stopping. @@IVloses

How did it go?

Separate camera used, not my phone.

I've heard it won't come on if your front defrost is on.

It comes on with the defrost on, I think its partially temperature controlled, then whatever draw is on the battery. So if you have a lot of stuff on, like stereo, defroster or A/C and headlights then it won't come on as often.@@ShiftEnvy

That is not remotely true. If you have an electrical issue that the add on part is causing then the repair would be at your expense, but the rest of the vehicle would be warrantied.

@@jimbearden7704depends on the component. Mess with the ECU in any way and your entire power train warranty goes. Along with electrical work

Magnuson Moss Act says something completely different.

I have that one sitting on my desk. I didn't feel like going through all of the disassembly with the console.

ya no need if you can just do plug and play under the hood. im kind of worried about the one i have now if i ever have to take the truck in. Dealer might spend hours trying to figure out why my dash says auto start off every time the trucks started with out hitting the button. Then hand me a bill.

@@JCunningham21with the under dash version you can actually turn auto start/stop back on by pressing the button, it merely remembers your setting and holds it there.

correct @@Johnny_Bee

I like the idea, but I don't like running in tow mode.

Burn a lot more gas with tow mode

So push a button to keep from pushing a button?

@@454budman that's pretty darn funny

This will keep it idling- so no However it will increase turbo longevity because it has constant oil feed if it doesn't shut off as opposed to intermittent

Then you lose park assist sensors.

Great idea!

Yes, it should. Double check with the website but it's the same setup.

I have no help for ya, unfortunately. I do not like the google system ...

My truck also says the same thing to me usually in the first mile of driving but randomly!

All it need to do is reduce the voltage during startup, the rest of the time it can give the system the full battery voltage. The vehicle is looking for enough voltage during startup to confirm that the correct battery / a good healthy battery is installed. All it does is trick the system into thinking that the battery is not rated for fast startups required by the auto stop-start system.

Unfortunately, I do not know. i would reach out to the manufacturer.

Absolutely, I have that on my camaro

Do you have a link to the product (or the name)? I only see Range Technology modules that do one or the other, but not both.

@@pigzaj2 Range Technology RA003B AFM/DFM Disabler-Blue

@@MINIHAHA1 thanks for the info. I checked it out and it only disabled the cylinder shut off, not the auto stop/start. I'll keep looking for something that does both for a reasonable cost.

@pigzaj2 the one I have disabled it. My truck hasn't shit off since I plugged it in

Ac on it will still shut off, if the cab temp meets requirements. I don’t plan on showing any more videos of this is use, sorry. There’s no commissions for me on this, just sharing a product I found… they also have a return policy if needed…

I would think so because you’re putting in aftermarket stuff.

I believe so because it’s aftermarket.

I know many focus on the starter and battery and I agree, that's a non-issue. The concerns I have with it is the going from heavy load to a stop and immediate shutdown, you now lost all oil flow to lubricate and cool as well as all coolant flow to maintain the cooling. This is especially bad when turbochargers can be over 1000 degrees quite often.

At least the 4 banners have electric water pumps that keep going after engine stop.

Harmless, maybe but a pure pain the backside. Had mine try and kill me twice already after trying to get a jump into traffic from a stop.

For complaint 4 u can lockout the inner tailgate

Contact them, I bet you get a replacement.

There's a button on the dash to shut it off.

Holding the start button down for 10sec stops the car/truck from shutting down after idling a while.

Not currently. The plan was to install the other style that plugs into the switch, but I haven't had time to install that one since it requires interior panels to be removed. Instead, I just reach over every time and push the switch, then sigh, then tell myself i really need to install the bypass.

Great videos. Keep em up!

What’s the reason for wanting to install a different product on the new truck since this one is so easy to instal?

@@michaelanderson350I try to test and show the installation of every product available.

I do not see how that would affect the seat heaters like that. It definitely did not do that to mine.

Yeah, my truck normally applies the seat and steering wheel heaters after I remote start when it is cold in the mornings and this morning after installing the unit that did not happen. Very odd.@@DemonWorks

Definitely odd, maybe coincidence or maybe change in outside temp is high enough for it to decide not to enable. This is something I have not experienced though, unfortunately.

A little off subject but I asked this question once before and maybe you addressed it but do any of the PPE or VSE mods you talk about void any warranty coverage with GM?@@DemonWorks

You must never "trust the individual blindly that it won't negatively impact other systems on the truck". The driver of the vehicle (the consumer) is presumed to be intelligent enough to know to tap the "on/off" button on the dash (which has a yellow light to indicate whether it is on or off) to disable the auto engine stop/start feature when you get into the vehicle after you start the vehicle up or at any time while you are driving the vehicle. Yes, you the consumer does have to tap that button each time you drive the vehicle. You also have to press the AC button to "on" or "off" each time you want to turn the AC on or off. The consumer also has to flip the light switch at home to turn the lights on or off. This can be done without having to disable your home's electric power. Flipping the light switch is not very difficult to do. Neither is tapping the on/off button for the auto stop/start. You think?

Did you contact the manufacturer? It doesn't make sense to me since this unit just makes the system think the battery is warm... but anything can happen I suppose.

@@DemonWorks I sent them a massage see what happens.

Diesel

Only your dealer can answer that as all are different. 20 second installation.

Yes

I hear ya, I have both but opted to install this one because it was so much more convenient.

Probably something that can easily be looked up on the interwebs….

@@Broncort1 no need for the asshole response.

No need for the smartass response

Manipulated battery temp reading.

I guess you can say that if you sit there and stare at it. Or, you could just install it in the 20 seconds and continue on with life then once you wake up the next morning you're all set. Hope your day gets better, Don.

I wonder why 🙄

I agree !!! the Onstar is very annoying.

I cannot find any videos on how to unplug the Onstar box on the 2022 refreshed trail boss. Older version vids are on here but not the newer ones. I guess its time for me to find it. @@DemonWorks

Interesting. I have Onstar and I am never even aware of it. How is it annoying?

no headlight changes here. Also, the a/c doesn't disable the auto stop, it will just occur less frequently dependent on in cab temps.

@@DemonWorks well … if you set it manually to LOW. And low fan speed… in theory .. it will never reach the temp… so will never auto stop :). It’s the only “free” solution in the summer … winter .. not so much ..

@@viperkiller0071 my ac is on 100% of the time, it still auto stops.

Typically that is caused by a Check Engine light on, do you have a check engine light on the dash?

No check engine light@@DemonWorks

No check engine@@DemonWorks

Nothing needs to be recalibrated, you are simply not touching the truck for that time period, much like getting home from work and not driving the truck until the next morning. I use a gm scantool, the MDI 2 with GDS 2, no $20 scan tool here.

I never tried that, I would assume that would set a check engine light.

@@DemonWorks I had just watched it on a YT before I watched yours. Idk about the check engine light, he didnt say.

Couple things to think about, when an engine is hot, the oil is used to cool it as is the coolant. When the engine is shut off while hot, it no longer has flowing coolant or oil. Side note, if towing and using tow haul mode (gm trucks), temperatures are typically greater and the system will actually deactivate the auto stop system. Take that however you want but that tells me that stopping an engine when it's hot then restarting it and doing that over and over is something even the gm engineers don't want.

@@DemonWorksthis could be a next video idea. Would love photos and visual examples of why it’s bad from and engineering stand point

@@Multimeter1 I agree and it's been a topic I wanted to cover but I haven't been able to come up with a way to show it. One day i will get a graphical representation figured out and do it.

Yea: and I’ve had mine try to kill me at a quick start! I disabled it in all my vehicles.

Unplug what wire?

Good suggestion! In my case, I would rather hit the button on the dash than lose 10th gear.

So your fix for an annoying 1 button sequence is to insert an 11 button sequence?

negative, my a/c is always on ...

@@DemonWorks I too found that the Auto Start/Stop is overridden when the AC is on, with an exception. I found that the AC has to be on LOW with fan up about 1/4. If temp is set to say 68+, then the Auto Start/Stop doesn't seem to be affected. It caught me off guard because I thought that was the "temp" solution until I installed a permanent one

Not the case, temp.

Good grief, that's pure genius. Trying this tonight.

Not necessarily. Yes, it will disable if the cabin needs the air temp adjusted, but the a/c will not automatically disable the start stop.

Well said!
