Hello! I bought IdleStopper v2. (89 USD) in Sept 2023 and installed it in my wife's 2022 Honda Civic Touring. Works fantastic and never have to remind my wife "Did you press/push the Idle-Stop button so it is turned off?". It is now automatically Off and does not void any part of your Honda / Acura warranty. A simple device to install as may take 20 to 40 minutes to install depending on what model Honda/Acura vehicle you have. All it does is turn off Idle-Stop which you could do yourself. It does not affect the vehicle's operational ability or the ECM "Electronic Control Module" aka computer system in any way.
This way when at a long traffic light or backed up for a while on the road from traffic congestion your vehicle will not stop idling and keep running. Imagine having the A/C on or the Heat going and the engine stops or maybe the engine fails to restart. The reason for Idle-Stop is government regulation on Emissions or to have less pollution. Idle-stop is annoying and aggravating as most people do not want it.

When the auto start light on the cluster is lit the system is turned off. I think you have your wires crossed in your head.

[kelvingarcia]

You never even showed how you did it 🤷🏻‍♂️ ??? Ughhhh

'20 pilot here. bought the $80 harness and installed so that auto stop is disabled on start-up. i have the option of turning it back on if i want to, but i would NEVER turn it back on. major negative on this vehicle. i got stranded twice in busy traffic with a no restart. i just about got hit by a car when i attempted to exit my vehicle on the first occurrence.

How did you get the lights red for cup holder?

[LimitedEdition]

I had a very hard time understanding this video. So let me see if I understand. So you kept pressing the auto off button and eventually you don't have to do it anymore and the car remains on

There are criteria that must be met in order for the vehicle to enable auto idle stop. It is likely that there is one or more criteria that your vehicle is not meeting, resulting in the auto idle stop feature not engaging.

On my 2023 Ridgeline, I have to turn off the auto stop by pressing the button near the drive button. Then an A in a cirle symbol will light up on the dash which means the engine will not stop at a light. Yours has no light, which means your vehicle should turn off the engine at stop lights, so something must be wrong with your system. But, if you have no other reason to be concern, then heck, you're good to go.

it's called.... "You Broke It"

[AWRay]

I believe that the reason that you are not getting the auto on/off is because the 115 V power 400 W is turned on.

[antbout]

If you are not using your seatbelt the auto/stop (engine off) will not work

[jeffrumbles]

The light is only on if it's disabled
At least on the 2024 pilot

[tonyvalenti]

Does this work on a 2024 Ridgeline Black Edition?

[talitamilasauskas]

My issue is that if I have that feature on, every time I take off from a stopping point my control sensor believes I’m about to crash and my car turn off. If I have this feature off my car runs perfectly fine

[paulpambid]

Hey kelvin, German said…it went off by itself and he didn’t even know how and why.

[rafaelrivas]

Same thing happened to my 2021 this week. It's not activating when I turn the vehicle on. My wife and I turn it off everytime we turn on the car and I thought we broke it.

[SpecRB]

There is a TSB, take it to the dealer and they will update the software

[WestCanaanTim]

Incredibly well done video! Thank you very much for this information!!

[yyz]

[georgesangilan]
