The Auto Start Stop in the 2026 can't be permanently disabled (based on my research). If I'm wrong, please explain in a reply. It's not a very valuable feature to leave activated (unless you push its off button every time you start the car).

Prior to 2026, the aftermarket add-on to override this was designed to connect to the power cable under the cordless smartphone charger (for about $100). 2026 no longer has a cordless smartphone charger or a 2026 redesigned cable.

It plugs inline, to a device , under your dash, drivers side.

Looks well made.

I hope to work with these guys on a different project some day.

I just installed mine a week ago and it works flawlessly after only 5 minutes to install, and no technical knowledge whatsoever!!! Great product, for sure. I almost forgot that goofy feature existed. I wonder if it's such a valuable feature, why did Ford provide it with an OFF switch, LOL!
