Worked great on my 2023 Acura RDX aspec advance! Plug and play, no tools required! Would definitely recommend! Easy for a non mechanically inclined lady!! Thank you!
Although these instructions might seem intimidating at first they are exactly described. Installation took about 30 min with no issues. Module works perfectly. I am very impressed!
Besides how clear and simple the instructions are and installation was - just as described, the best part for me was seeing KSHE on the radio. Reminds me of the day.....
FISHING WIRE SUGGESTION, Definitely use a flashlight from the bottom to see where the wire needs to go down. It goes toward the engine at the top and comes out at the bottom on the front (engine) side of the metal frame. I tried for 20 minutes looking on the wrong side, thinking there was no path. The instructions were excellent, I failed to use the flashlight trick.
I’m very handy I’ve even rebuilt a motor but that’s slot to take apart. I’m sure you can come up with a better way without taking apart the entire dash
It may seem scary, but They really do come off that easy! If you live in cold weather environment, you may want to turn your heater on and warm the car interior up first, that’s about the only thing I can think of that would make it slightly more difficult, if the car interior was cold. Just follow along with the video and recommended places to grab/pry on during removal of each panel.
@@idlestopper7486 I was able to install it tonight in about an hour and it works perfect! Overall it was not too hard to install and your video helped a lot. Very nice, well made product. Thanks
Sorry you are having trouble. I would suggest to place a flashlight on bottom and it will shine up through the opening up top and provide a path for the wire to go down. Or use a hard fish wire or bent clothes hanger. There’s plenty of room but there is other wiring in that area that can block the wire from going down if you just try and blindly fish it down. Also if you end up not being able to get it, you’re more than welcome to return your module for a refund at any time
@@rickmace9022 If you're still trying to install it when you feed the power lines down through the top, don't go straight down, push them towards the front of the car. Underneath the wires will come down on the opposite side of the metal frame from the accessory port and have to come around the frame to be plugged in. Rewatching the video it looks like I may have routed mine differently. Getting the wires down was definitely the hardest part on my 2020 RDX with Tech package, the rest went just as shown in the video.
I found this video looking for a way to clean or replace the touchpad. Can someone tell me if the touchpad is easily removable once you remove the piece it's housed in? A new puppy puked right onto the touchpad on the way home lol and now the touchpad is not working..
2019 Acura RDX. Watched this RU-vid installation video several times. Installed it carefully. Over several drives this device worked, then failed to work, then worked again, then failed again. Frustrated and disappointed. Uninstalled it today even though knew it was going to be a pain in the ass. Out $99. @#$%^&*!
Sorry to hear that your module is working inconsistently. It should definitely be working EVERY time. You may have a defective module or had a loose connection somewhere. You are definitely not out $99. You can return or exchange your module for a refund or a replacement at anytime. Please email us at idlestopautooff@gmail.com and we can get you taken care of.
Or you could just simply push the start/stop button when you start the RDX to disable the feature when driving the car. Of course, when you turn off the car the default will activate the start/stop. Why go through all the hassle with permanently disabling this feature? You might void your warranty.
The v1 is a much older version and used a wire tap to install onto the factory wiring. v2 Is fully plug and play and connects directly to the factory wiring with no modifications.
Unfortunately, not. Unplugging the switch will cause a warning light and a “constantly repeating warning message of idle stop system problem”. Really wish Honda would’ve put in a way from the factory to permanently disable as an option.
Well thats good news. I just happened to find a 2018 Advance model with only 10K miles on it and had to buy it. Some old lady had it mostly parked in her garage. Going to install the VCM Tuner 2 to disable VCM an ddidnt want to have to pull the dash to also deal with idle stop.

Thanks for your interest! In answer to your question, The Idlestopper will not void your warranty, the manufacturer isn’t allow to void your entire warranty legally because of the Moss/Magnusson Act that was passed in the 1970’s. This act ensures that a warranty cannot be voided in its entirety due to aftermarket parts being installed. At most, the dealer COULD deny a warranty claim on the idle stop off switch and power socket in the console as they are connected directly to the device (and that’s only if they can PROVE the Idlestopper was the fault) All other vehicle systems and parts would still be fully protected under your normal warranty and cannot be affected by you installing the module into your vehicle. The Idlestopper is designed to not fail in any way that can damage the vehicle. It’s a very minimally invasive installation and has no issues with compatibility or durability. It does not reprogram or change any factory settings, it simply presses the off button electronically. I haven’t had a single case of a warranty or even parts of a warranty being denied due to the Idlestopper being installed.
This is not worth it. Know why? He makes it look easy but you know a few of these clips will break and it will NEVER go in the same. It's too bad Acura just didn't make it so it remembers when you turn off the auto stop. Simple. But they don't want you to turn it off..
Yeah I agree. This 2019 RDX is my wife’s car. I find this idle stop feature extremely annoying! It’s why I don’t like to drive the car. I wish there was a way to program the car’s computer to permanently disable this dumb feature!
@@Jim79234 Pressing the button disables it for that trip only. It needs to be pressed off each time you turn on and off the vehicle and won’t save the off setting memory. Our module will turn off the idle stop automatically to save the button press everyday
In my case and many others a design flaw in the Acuras would cause it to not start back up after turning of or start up late. This can even occur if the battery is worn but that was not my case. I consider this erratic behavior on the part of the Acura to be a huge safety risk which is why I installed it. Look around there are plenty of RU-vid videos and postings on Acura's flawed design. It's a known issue that Acura has failed to address and this product does. That's my short term solution. My long term solution is to never buy another Acura again.
@@scala_peritus Good luck. All cars are coming with these "systems" now since it let's them game the EPA numbers. Thanks Obama! It's also why there isn't an option to disable it by default. Would defeat the "savings" they get to claim for the EPA numbers.
