The auto-stop feature does not bother me at all. I barely notice when it's active.

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.

Literally

I did say it twice in succession, huh.

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

I'm close to the same routine - but I've added turning off all the nannies. Autobrake disabled - this turns off another as well, traction control off, then I buckle up and go.

Scotty Kilmer is good at one thing—click bait. And re-using the same photo of himself “crouching while pointing a finger” in his thumbnails. I guess that’s two things.

Scotty Kilmer might have more clickbait videos about quitting YouTube/dying than ones that are actually useful at this point.

I wouldn't be worried about your auto start stop eliminator. I drive with a Bluetooth adapter on my OBDII port all the time and I'm still mostly alive.

I've had one on my 22 maverick for year half of no issues. Just traded in my 22 for a 24. No issues on new one either. Also have a pedal commander on it I bought from dealer. Guess time will tell. Takes just minute plug in and remove so if it stops working I'll unplug it. All it does is keep that annoying start stop feature either on or off all the time, instead of the computer reseting it every time you turn on the vehicle. For me it's a great feature, but I'm more old school. I even like a key to start my truck.

Scotty does have a point about if the aftermarket part does fail it could cause a problem with your vechile. So I say if your buying aftermarket parts do your homework. I figure if the dealer selling them how bad can they be ??

I listen to him some. I think some of his advice is good and some not. you need to know a little bit about how things work to sort it out.

Im happy to report that start stop has not come on in 8months? Give or take. (Not once) Mentioned to dealer way back when and got the usual take it for a long drive bla bla bla …. Its a 2022 xlt fx4 ecobost with 53,000 km so i think i drive enough. Other than that truck has been bulletproof and when i happen to return to dealer i wont even mention it.

Exactly this. No different than pressing other buttons in the cabin. Solution to a nonexistent problem
