But I saw this video from Scotty Kilmer talking about Dongles in the OBD port causing computer issues and not to drive with anything in the OBD port. He also says he hates the Auto Start stop feature in modern cars and that they cause premature wear. What sayeth the forum?

a plug under the dash.

TBF, he's a genius. He's a clickbait mechanic that generates a ton of revenue from YT and knows his target audience very well.

let's talk specifically about why there is no harm. electrically, it literally is remembering if you have autostop on or off, and if it's off it will send the same signal as a button push each time you start your truck. literally the same as pushing the button in the lower center console.

about the port itself. the autostop eliminator for the maverick weighs just a few ounces, but despite that, it comes with a zip tie that will relieve any strain on the connection. it's also connected to the back of the port, so that a tech can happily just connect to the interface with their scantool normally. they wouldn't necessarily even notice an autostop eliminator is installed.

impressionable, semi-knowledgeable car enthusiasts. anyone who really knows anything should not be drawn in by his flying spit tirades...

Oh honey don't listen to that Scotty Kilmer. I'm glad he takes his foil hat off when he's on camera but damn there are better places to get your information.

i'm ok with pushing the OFF button. 1 second and 1/2 calorie effort.

I just used Forscan to change a 1 to a 0 with an obd cable. Works like a charm. Many threads about this on this site.

I don't have a problem with the auto stop: it is part of the routine: open door, sit, turn on with the key, press the auto stop, no stinking dongle needed
