Hey all! I am seeing that it’s between 4D Tech and Auto Start Stop Eliminator. Both are similar price but I want to know if there’s any real difference between the two and is quality then same? Also, does it throw any silent codes that you can see in forscan?
Which start stop eliminator is best? Any silent codes thrown?

I have 4D Tech for a year so far. The connector became loose for two times in the first 3 to 4 months after installation, although I didn't feel any loose on the connector when I checked it. It has been good since I reconnected it the second time. You would see your AC or seat heating/cooling feature behaves weirdly if it is loose. And yes, it did create lots of codes in Forscan. Anyway, all you need to do is unplug it and then re-connect. It took me less than 1 minute to fix.

This has been my experience, no issues at all. The in car screen has even acknowledged the auto start stop is in place and working at times when I first start the expy.

I have one from 4dtech and it works great. It has a glitch but the support folks got me a workaround and an RMA if it keeps happening (all doors unlocking when shifting into park). Stupid easy to install. I zip-tied the extra cable length up to some other stuff under the dash so it's not flopping around. Pretty pleased with it overall.
I’m not a fan of it causing a ton of codes. Was that only when it was loose or still throws codes after clearing and connection is good.
What was the workaround that stopped the doors from unlocking?
Codes were cleared right after I re-connected it.

Hold down the door lock button until the locks cycle. The logs wiggle and you should be good.

I had the 4D Tech that plugs into the diagnostic port on my 2019. Turns out that it's not compatible with my 2024. The 2024 has so many pop-ups on the dash and the center display, I just got into a process of checking them all prior to driving away including the auto stop button. I never had any errors in 5 years with it on the 2019.
