You've used the Smart/Stop Start?Just get the Smart Stop/Start. Send a PM to Steve @SmartStopStart.com and he'll give you a code for a forum member discount. That's what I did and I'm very happy with my purchase.
I see that you found it. I've been using it for about 6 months and it works perfectly. I'm very happy with it.You've used the Smart/Stop Start?
Happy with it?
Might you have a link?
I would prefer to support a board member!
Thanks!
I might have an easier and cost free way of eliminating the Autostop....just remove the switch under the hood...picture enclosed...use to be asst service mgr for a Chrysler store and hated test drives because of the auto stop asked one of the techs about it and he showed me how easy to disconnect so when I bought my Gladiator Rubicon three years ago I disconnected it before I drove off the lot and haven't had any trouble for three years. To be clear you do not disconnect the switch just remove it from the bracket and let stay connected but the switch assy lays on top of some other cabling below the bracket. Hope this helps ya and saves some money......when you sell the Jeep just put it back and it will work again. Basically when removed from bracket the Jeep thinks the hood is open...and stop/start not needed.

While this does work, you lose the ability to use remote start (if you have it of course), which for me is a definite no go..I might have an easier and cost free way of eliminating the Autostop....just remove the switch under the hood....
Yeah, unfortunately that's one of the several things that can disable remote start (low fuel, check engine light, hood open...)Thanks, unaware of that. I don't use it often, but a handy option!
