Smart Stop/Start

[Damtall]

Hello everyone! Not sure if this has been discussed or not, but wanted to talk about the Stop/Start button. I have a 2024 Willys. I had an AEV Procal installed for when I change gears, larger tires, etc., so I am not using a Tazer. Can anyone recommend a Smart Stop/Start plug in that I can use? This is what I found on another forum, but I want opinions (there are always lots of them) and ideas from people that have already used one. Thank you for your assistance!

Has it worked properly so far? Any issues, including install? Thank you!

I have the same one. No issues installing or using it, but it's only been ~6 months. I had a similar product on my last car and had no issues for years. Not that I use it often, but I like that you still have the option to turn ESS back on temporarily by just pressing the dash button. It just defaults to OFF instead of ON at startup.

@nanook12 or @rahtx - what the status of the ESS light with the adapter wired in place? Is it off when the ESS is disabled and on if you manually activate it?

The procal isn't required to be left in once you're done programming whatever gear/tire change you put in. It actually changes the programming vs a taser which bypasses it (actively) and then has to remain plugged in to continue doing so.

Mine has worked great, if you have slender hands and fingers its easier to plug in than large hands,

Have been happy with the 4Dtech start/stop eliminator.

Do you mean the physical button itself (located below the infotainment screen)? If so, it is exactly the same as when you use the button manually. When you start up the truck, it automatically "presses" the button for you, so the light on the button turns on, indicating ESS is disabled. When you manually press the button again to turn ESS on, the light on the button turns off.

No other lights or warnings on the instrument cluster.

@rahtx thanks, just what I needed.

I have the one you linked, first in my JLU then moved it to my JT. No issues ever in the 4 years I’ve had it.

if you dont like start stop and dont feel like buying a tazer etc... just use the climate controls and keep the fan speed above medium. It will cancel start stop because "cabin is heating or cooling"

WTF? First I've heard of that trick!

I used this one from Amazon, a lot cheaper and does the same thing.
