Can they reprogram it to be off by default!
I bet they could. BUT that would take effort by the manufacturers. So I doubt it. Aftermarket does sell a plug in device on obd port for about 100 bucks. On my old car a Ecosport I just got used to hitting the button. BUT on some cars you have to dive into a menu to turn it off. If I had that I would buy the device.

Mine has now been disconnected for the second time. It is now a pleasure to drive the Maverick! Ask me if I miss it.

Excited to see this. I hope it's true.
Now if we could get the emissions standards relaxed so we could go back to building awesome cars again.
so you want us all to breath polluted air and live shorter and less healthy lives?

Start/stop technology: where your car dies at every red light so companies get a climate participation trophy. EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we’re fixing it.
Please Please Please TIME the ever loving mother (Blankity Blank Blank) traffic lights so that
they are not RED every stinking time you pull up to one! PLEASE For everything that is Holy in
the World PLEASE!
