Tired of the Auto Idle Shutoff? Introducing the IDLESTOPPER from the Ridgeline Store for your Honda 

Still a pain in the ass.

As a 16 year Honda/Acura tech this thing is somewhat indicative as to why there is so much techlonoy in these vehicles. People are so lazy to just press and hold a button if they dont like their vehicle going into idle stop, people were so lazy that they need auto wipers and auto lights..soo LAZY that they are willing to put MORE TECHNOLOGY into their vehicles that once it fails and brings it to me to fix. Get appalled when i charge them for their laziness.

lol

Mine engages even if I dont full depress the brake pedal. My girlfriends Toyota doesnt do it when I stop with a light tough of the brake but my Honda does.

@@DonChicloso Just had my '19 pilot break down in traffic because my wife didn't shut it off. Idle stop engaged and for some reason car wouldn't restart. Dealer tech refused to dig deeper into things like the valve adjustment or starter because of my vcm disabler, despite previous tech installing brand new battery no issue before. Decided this was the way to go since it doesn't cut any wires. Dealer service denies they have ever had any issues with VCM or stop start on any V6 Honda.

Wah-Bamn!!! Your welcome and thank you!

AWESOME- you are going to live it! Thanks fir watching. Make sure to subscribe.

Fat fingers are not a Hondas friend. Lol.

Great to hear!

Thanks for watching! Thanks for the order. Make sure to subscribe!!!!

LOVE IT! I know exactly how you feel!!!! Thanks for shopping with us!

Great to hear. Thanks for the feedback!

100% agree. I tell everyone now to use a small screwdriver. So much easier! Thanks for the input and feedback.

Hi, this was a good read,,,,,,,just one item of concern for me, will this, and or does this void a new vehicle warranty,,,?

It does not but I always recommend removing any add-on out side and normal maintenance.

How much time did it take you to install? Was it expensive?

@@jennmhebert It took about 15 minutes. I did buy a trim kit off of amazon for $ 10 to keep from marring interior. Cost about $95 at time.

It takes less than ten minutes. theridgestore.com/products/Auto-Idle-Stop-OFF-IDLESTOPPER-p377615926

@Chris Brewer would love to see the trim kit ur referring to. Do you know if they consider idlestopper an aftermarket part, or if it will void any warranty? Currently have bumper to bumper warranty & DO NOT want to lose it, just bought mine last week. Loving it!

It will not void e your warranty but as I tell everyone- regular maintenance leave it in. Check engine light. Remove any bolt on or plug in product to limit the blame factor as well help the tech pin point the true problem.

It’s awesome!!!! Thank you.

It’s plug and play. Please do not confuse future buyers.

Yes, it’s been upgraded.

Awesome- you will love it!!!! Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks for watching and the feedback.

1) Push the volume knob, that should mute audio. (Yes it's not on the steering wheel, but it's 1 easy press. 2) WITHOUT depressing the brake pedal, push the push to start button two times.

Interesting!

Update , now the idle stop message is somewhat random. The auto stop engaged randomly! Go figure!

The update was to allow it to restart properly.

You’ll love it!

Honda is having issues with the iPhone 12 not charging. They are working on it. We look forward to your order.

Doesn’t work on my 2023 either with 13 pro max, nor iPhone 8 Plus. Nor Galaxy S7. The factory Qi charger is junk.

It’s bad ass! Thank you.

Interesting- yes there are so many negatives of this feature. Especially the longevity of the motor.

EXACTLY!!!!!

The new versions do not have a power chord.

Well now we have an option and that the best ever. Love it!

Nope, been around in other models for a bit.

Just ordered both chargers from Honda (they have two different part numbers). Going to see which one we need as well plugs to install. Keep close for updates coming!

@@CampingRandy Nice, I looked at them, doesnt say any of them will fit a 16’ Pilot.. hoping you can make it work!

Look at 5:41 in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q3GCEziUzLk.html call my support line off the website if needed. Thank you!

@@CampingRandy Thanks, I checked out the video where you show how to do the install if you have a wireless charger (which I do) and it answered my question that yes, you do plug the idlestopper black plug back in. I just completed the installation successfully within 10 minutes!!! The most difficult part was first knowing how to pull up just the plastic part of the console and not the entire thing, and second, getting that black plug out with the underside tab...that was difficult. The rest was easy, no more annoying idle stop! Now, if you can figure out how to create a normal gear shift kit to replace the push button shifting, I would have no complaints about my Honda. (Which overall I love, btw.)

Sound great. So glad you got it all set. Thank you for shopping with us!

Because people are lazy. Why else!?!

@@CampingRandy LOL

I'm lazy and I also forget to disable until I'm midway through my drive.

Lol

yeah I was asking the same thing. I was confused thru the entire video?

The IDLESTOPPER just switches the default to OFF when you start the Honda. It does not display any notice unless you press the button. Does that answer your question?

Email me with your order number.

@@CampingRandy what is your email?

There is no sport mode. It’s the S stands for sequential mode - meaning the transmission will go through all 9 gears at higher rpm’s and not skip gears to conserve fuel. You use the paddles on the steering wheel to select gears on the Ridgeline, Passport, Pilot, and Odyssey. Thanks for watching. I hope this helps.

If you purchased one, there is a QR Code to the video in the package.

We are fixing. Honda made us change the name. New web address www.theridgestore.com

How is that dangerous? It's doing exactly what it was made to do. You as the customer is the one who should know how to use your vehicle. If you don't want to use that feature just turn it off .

I appreciate you watching but if you don’t know what your talking about, then this product is not made for you. If you don’t understand what it’s purpose is and how it will save the engine in the long run, then it’s best yo move along.

We are lazy humans - forget that waste of time, I have places to be. Next your going to tell me to do the speed limit in the left lane to enforce the law. No thank you!

I'm back to admit I did get into the habit of pushing the start button and then the auto idle stop, but sometimes I'd forget, and each time my car shut off on its own I got irritated. I bought and installed the idlestopper. I feel as if my car was broken and I finally fixed it! 😁

Stays on. Put a price of electrical tape over it. It doesn’t bother me.

Yes it does. Just put it in the notes.

There are a few screws at the front you need to remove. 1. Remove the surround around the wireless charger. 2. Remove two Phillips head screw towards the front. 3. Grab where the storage slide touches the center console and lift up. Let me know if you have additional questions support@ridgelinestore.com

@@CampingRandy Thank you so much for your quick response and info.

It’s for HONDAS with factory installed IDLESTOP. It sets default to inactive. I’m pretty sure your civic did not come with it.

You need to remove any power. The new design should be just two white plugs that go inline of the auto stop switch.

Yes - goto Ridgelinestore.com scroll to IDLESTOPPER and select Pilot.

Yes it does! ridgelinestore.com/Auto-Idle-Stop-OFF-Module-Works-On-2022-p377615926

The link is in the description. I’ll paste it here for you :ridgelinestore.com/Auto-Idle-Stop-OFF-IDLESTOPPER-p377615926

@@CampingRandy THANK YOU

YES!!!! I just never added it to the www.Ridgelinestore.com - it’s there now! Thanks for watching. Odyssey too!

Nope

If you didn’t notice a difference, it didn’t work. When you are at a complete stop with a hard press to the brake pedal, the engine shuts off at the red light. Once you lift the brake pedal the starter starts the engine back up “hopefully” before you hit the gas pedal. Sounds like you had a great salesman with you that did not educate on the Honda Features. SORRY - sales people who don’t know their product or explain how features work, really gets me. Did you know you have a locking tailgate on a 2021 Ridgeline?

Shortens starter life as well cylinder damage as the motor is hot and oil is not longer circulating.

@@CampingRandy Actually, they let me test drive solo....

The engine won't turn off if the AC is on along with a couple of other situations.

This is common for the Auto shutoff not to work. My 21 Ridgeline's auto cylinder shut off has never worked actually. My wife's 21 Passport works as intended though. There's something like 1500 (give or take a few hundred) different conditions/checks that have to be met for it to work properly. So in theory, many of these come with their own shut off kill switch lol...

No it will not. It just inverts and sets the default to off.

You can still use. Just press the button.

I actually like the feature of auto off and on. I disconnected the battery to inspect the AI assembly and when I reconnected it I noticed it stopped working. I have a 2021 Ridgeline, any idea on how to get it back to normal?

According to my local Honda service department, it will only void your warranty if it breaks something somewhere else in the car. So it could theoretically void your warranty.

​@@CampingRandy According to my local Honda service department, it will only void the warranty if it breaks something somewhere else in the car.

We are not Honda.

@@CampingRandy What does that mean? Either it does or doesn't. Kinda important.

It depends on what your bringing the Honda in for. If it’s for a check engine light or malfunction engine issues then remove it before you bring it in. This eliminates the IDLESTOPPER or any add ons causing an issue. If it’s a rear differential or suspension problem then leave it in or an oil change. Sorry, I take these questions as common sense. I’m not going to tell you yes or no if it voids your warranty. That is 100% Honda’s choice. Just don’t complicate things by leaving products installed when you bring it in for similar issues.

Yes - you disable by pressing the button. The Idlestopper sets the default to OFF when you start the HONDA. Thats all it does.

@@CampingRandy nope I have found that use very little brake pressure to make stops so that it doesn't shut down about 10 times it will stop it

Sounds good.

Thanks for watching

Everyone knows that. The purpose of the IDLESTOPPER is so you don’t have to press a button. At startup the auto stop is active by default, which many do not prefer. This sets it off at default so you don’t have to disable at start up. If you want to use auto idle stop, then you press the button to activate.

Depends on who you ask.

As I say, make your own. Thanks for the comment.
