Start/Stop Eliminator

4Dtech.com makes a plug in to address this function and disable the start/stop.
They have a YouTube video showing the installation. Looks pretty easy

I have used these and done the Forscan in other vehicles. For some doing this will be a lot easier to do than Forscan.

I have 1 on the way for a Bronco that wont let you do it with Forscan and I dont't think it has been confirmed to beable to turn off in Forscan yet.

My order was one of the last without it, was glad I missed it. I know it defaults to on though doesn't the first button disable it?
Thinking that was going to bug the shit out of me, I find the drive mode defaulting to "Normal" more annoying. Wish I could use the Favorite button for my custom profile

Forscan is a free program that you can use to turn on/off factory features. All Fords of a given model come with the same software, just different options enabled/disabled.

For example if you put a Whipple on your GT, you can turn on the Ecoboost boost gauge. Or on my F-250 and my Explorer I added the auto fold mirrors that the Lincoln's get. etc etc etc.

Every time I start the car I just press the steering wheel button twice to switch to my custom profile, it was a little annoying at first but I’m used to it now

Which button? I'm still waiting for my car.

Same here, muscle memory now, just thought it would be great if we could program the Favorite button to Custom Mode

Forscan has not been fully working on the newer vehicles. And it is not totally free as you need to buy a connector to plug into the ODB port to connect a laptop.

Of course it doesn't fully work on new vehicles. Because they are new. But they eventually get added, and the list of features and options you can enable/disable/change grows exponentially.

Yes, but that same OBD dongle can be used with Forscan on ALL your Ford and Lincoln vehicles, not just one (that you installed a $100 bypass in). I've used the same OBDLink MX dongle on all four Ford vehicles I've purchased since 2016 (when I bought the dongle).

Sure, if you don't want to do anything besides get rid of the auto stop/start, pay $100 and be done. But if you want ot be able to do other cool things, go Forscan.

It’s on the left side of the steering wheel and is used to cycle through the drive modes, I press up twice and it changes it to my custom mode that I set up. I’ll post a picture after work so you can see

It's not possible to turn it off with Forscan.

It's only a matter of time.
