As soon as my new civic is built I am ordering one of these. When I learned that they started putting these stupid start/stop systems on new cars my jaw dropped. God bless you guys for making this. I can't believe there's no setting to disable this by default...
As someone who just installed an Idlestopper in a 2023 Civic, I have the following tips: 1) budget more time than you think you’ll need. You may not need it but at least you won’t feel rushed, 2) relax. It’s easy to feel panicky when you get stuck on a step. You’ll get through it. 3) the power prong from the car won’t fit into the device all the way. This is what the wrap thing (4:55) is for. 4) putting in that screw at 5:40 is easy to forget if you’re in a hurry to button things up.
If you don’t do stuff like this often, it will seem like a big PITA while you’re doing it. But you only have to do it once. Knowing you’ve hit the idle stop off button for the last time (or realize you’ve forgotten to when the intersection light turns green) will make it all seem worth it.
Trying to read this comment is difficult hope you aren’t a teacher
I don’t want to mess my car up by doing this so i guess ill just have to hit the button every time i drive my car for the rest of eternity 😂
Just installed one in my 2022 sport touring hatchback. I can't tell you how great this thing is. I simply could never remember to turn the damn thing off every time I got in the car. Absolutely maddening when the car would shut off at a light. Someone is gonna get killed because of this idiocy. Sometimes if you jump on it, the car can stall. Crazy bad idea.
Anyway, my sport touring has a wireless phone charger in the forward tray. You will need to disconnect that wire as well to gain enough access to disconnect the plug that makes it all happen.
Thanks for giving me my piece of mind back!!!
Thanks for your feedback and for being a customer!
Thanks for that tip! I’m ordering one of these.
Make sure you check that white lever for the shifter when reassembling. Mine was not fully engaged correctly and the car would not shut off because it thought it wasnt in park.
Just installed your idlestopper on my 2023 civic sport hatch. Very satisfied. This video helped! Beyond excited that I don’t gotta press that damn button anymore! Thank you for making this product
Thanks for your feedback and your support!
ua-cam.com/video/TTBN8Ic57Gg/v-deo.html this is a lil bit concerning and dont want to be payin a lot for repairs why im concerned
My idlestopper just arrived and installed. My car is a ‘23. Just an FYI, I had to cycle the ignition and lock and unlock the car via the remote before the car would start. After that, everything is working perfectly. Just an FYI for ‘23 model owners. I noticed that you didn’t have to do that in the installation video.
2022 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport-Touring, CVT trim here. Install went well. It was ungodly hard to pull the whole assembly out because the phone charger module is like 2 inches thick, and didnt clear the shift unit ( the frame not the stick ) and took quiet a lot of careful fussing to bow things out of the way and tight slide the charger module over the shifter assembly. Finally got it, and after that everything was just unplug connector, plug into idlestopper. Ziptie some stuff to be tidy. Push together, done.
Took maybe 30 mins, only due to like 20 mins of that being confused what the F was beint a hard wall, until I saw how thick the phone charge module is. But yep! Does the job. Car turns on, x seconds later it disables idle stop, and everything is happy.
Personally I dont care for idle stop. People argue its stupid to disable it because you save gas, and after a year thats X dollars of gas. And its like cool story bro, I drive modded and drive spirited. Im burning more gas taking off fast with my spirted driving than that idle stop feature would save me in a year. Can average 43MPG on the highway, but when you dont give a F about fuel savings and you drive spirited, try 30MPG at best. Hahaha
About to install in my 24 Civic Sport Hatchback 2.0 6MT. Wish you had a video for the manual, but shouldn't be too different. Can't wait to never have to push that button again!
Just finished up. Wasn't too bad. Routing the wires in a way where they can't touch moving parts from the shifter was a bit of a pain and mostly trial and error with a ton of zip ties, but I eventually got it set up. Worked right away on first start up. For the shifter, there's 4 screws under the center console that hold the leather boot on, so I just took those out and left the boot on the shifter during the install. In the manual there is no other screw to remove the second section of the dash, it just pops out. I wish the wires that plug into the button were a little bit longer. If they were just a bit longer, you could route it behind the shifter with the factory harness and be able to secure it away from everything. But, I ended up securing it in the front left section. That was really the hardest part, just trying to do something to secure it away from the moving parts.
Just ordered the IdleStopper for my 2024 Civic Hatchback CVT... Thank you...
Thanks for being a customer! We hope you enjoy your idlestopper!!
Thank you so much for making this. I cannot stand the auto stop start. I just installed mine today and it took 10 minutes at most.
Just purchased a 2023 Honda Civic Sport last week and seen your product online. Received the module today with the pry tool included! Took like 10/15 minutes to install. Turned on the car a few times to make sure and yes sir, idle off icon pops up within 5 seconds of vehicle turning on. Thanks for the product and tutorial! Many people do not like the hassle of remembering to press the off button so this was a must.
Thanks for your feedback!
@@idlestopper7486 what is the lifespan of this product? Also any warranty on the module?
The life expectancy is rated for well over 1M cycles and the pre-vetted, name brand, parts we select and use are expected to well outlast the vehicle. Only quality parts are used, No corners are cut in parts quality and manufacturing.
The warranty period is stated 3 years but we will stand behind the product even if it were to have an issue beyond that point as long as it wasn’t damaged or neglected in some way.
@@idlestopper7486 sounds good! Thank you for the info.
Definitely a must. Making/ Designing a vehicle to cut off Idle while you are temporarily stopped is insane. It is very annoying to hear a car restart when you are next to it. Worst yet is when it is your own vehicle. This is a headache feature they must do away with. Thank you for providing a bypass solution. Have a 2022 Honda Civic Touring on order here in Sept. 2022. Production is slowed due to lack of parts and computerized systems for much of the safety features in cars these days as we can welcome the COVID Pandemic for making the cost of everything to go up while supply is limited. The Honda Factory had assembled my new Civic and it sits/awaits in storage until the computer and safety components arrive as said it could be 6 to 10 weeks. They haven't even given the 2022 Civic Touring a VIN as it's not complete without the computerized junk in the trunk. What a bummer! Guess 2023 models will not be released until 2024 or a whole year behind schedule.
Note: Honda after more than 12 years still have not resolved the NOISE problem for the Civic and apparently do not care. You can only tolerate 58 to 60 decibels for so long, the only way not to hear the noise is cranking up the radio or wear permanent ear muffs and ear plugs. I want to be deaf and hear no more no more hit the road jack you Honda just don't care no more. Maybe I should have purchased a Mazda 3 to prevent hearing loss. If taller than 6 foot 3 inches, avoid getting any compact or small car. Go to the next level/ tier such as Accord or Camry or a SUV. Oh! an Audi A6 would be nice if you have $50K plus to spend.
damn 58-60 decibels is good as fuck, the third gen fit got as high as 78-80 at highway speeds
Just installed mine and it works! Install was very easy thanks to this video.
Just installed it with the help of this video. Great product! Works perfectly and my dashcam which is plugged into the electrical outlet still works!
Couple of tips:
1. You have to have it in park for the electric to shutoff. You can put it in park for it to shutoff, then later use the white lever underneath to allow you to move the shifter once you pull off the center cover.
2. If you don't have a pry tool, you can use a non-metal kitchen spatula instead.
Excellent product overall. My only critique is I wish the wires were 2-3 inches longer. It barely fits and just hangs by the wires which is not optimal long-term. Would be better to have more slack so the zip-tie can hold the majority of the weight.
Hi! when you say the wire length is not optimal long term, could the wires wear out because it's been stretched? thanks
@@wilbryest When I installed it, the wires were right next to the shifter housing which means they'll rub against it over time which could cause an issue. Technically it's possible, but realistically, I honestly doubt it'll ever be a problem.
Just ordered this for my 2023 Civic Sport. Great installation instructions!!!
Thank you
Thanks for being a customer!
At least I know your engine coolant temp light goes off like mine when it’s turned on lol
Do You mean the blue one? That comes on until the engine is warmed up. It’s kind of weird at first but it only stays on when the engine is cold. Once warmed up, the light goes off. If the engine would overheat that light would turn red in color. Honda has been doing this for awhile since most of their vehicles don’t have normal temperature gauges.
i bought this my idle stopper work but its frozen with the ebrake up not wanting to come off any solutions?
I would suggest to cycle the e-brake on and off until it releases. If you unplugged the parking brake switch during your idlestopper installation the red “brake” light will stay illuminated until you cycle the parking brake switch a few times
@idlestopper7486 appreciate it bro im try this shi in 8h im at work. so i stay holding the brake start it n pull this up n down too electric break disengages
@idlestopper7486 on the dash break is flashing, on the switch it stays red
Yes, start the vehicle then press and hold down the brake pedal. While holding the brake pedal, move the parking brake switch up and down a couple of times. Should release and get that parking brake back to normal.
Also, if this doesn’t work, make sure the parking brake connector was plugged back in properly if you unplugged it during install
That flashing “brake” light will go away once the parking brake is switched on and off a couple of times. Just make sure you are holding the brake pedal down when using the parking brake switch
Thank you! Used part of your tutorial to install led footwell lighting.
Glad to help!
Why is this video filmed this way? You made this way harder to follow than necessary.
Just installed mine! Love this, thank you for making these. Mine came with a zip tie but didn't see a need for it so didn't use it. Looking forward to driving without having to press the off button!
Excellent tutorial very simple to do! Thanks for sharing:)
Save 10 cents on gas but spend 1000 on a new starter 😂
And a new turbo because of the hot oil that just sits in it 😢
Long as it doesn’t mess up anything I’ll be glad to disable it thought maybe we pull the fuse off of the idler
The idlestopper does not affect the vehicle negatively in any way. It simply turns off the idle stop each startup. Our module does not cause any codes or warnings and is fully reversible if needed. Also, with the idlestopper installed, you can still use the factory button and turn the idle stop system back to on at anytime you desire.
@@idlestopper7486 THANK you once again so much more than anything you made my day i will be purchasing it from EBAY so i can disable mines on my 2024 honda civic sport 2.0 but this video was very informative and inspiring
Ill stick with pushing the button instead for now, i have made it a habit.
So, is it neccessary for the shift idle or not! I hate when your at a light it idle so I’m thinking it’s just helping save gas
The idle stop system was implemented by Honda to save small amounts of fuel that are wasted during idling. However, the small savings in gas come with many other problems such as shortening the battery and starter life. Honda also has several vehicles that idle stop and not restart causing them to issue a safety recall.
What model Idle stopper do I get for my 2022 Honda Civic Sport (CANADA ASSEMBLED)? I know the Canada and United States Civic Sport trims differ in features (in Canada the Sport trim is higher than the EX trim while in the United States the EX trim is higher than the Sport trim).
Thanks for your interest! Is it a sedan or hatchback? Is it a CVT or manual? Those 2 will determine which module.
Will the power socket still Function the same as it did prior to this being installed? I like to charge my phone throw the power socket. I’ll be installing my tm or Tuesday.
Yes! The power socket will still operate as it normally would and is unaffected by the Idlestopper 🙂
Wait is there not a button were you can just shut it off?
There is a button to turn it off but it will revert to on each time the ignition is cycled so you have to press the button every drive. There’s also no option from the factory to permanently disable or turn the system off for good
I just install an amp and subs and everytime my car turn off the audio too !
Very cool
Did you do a video for the manual?
Unfortunately only the automatic was available at the time of the video shoot. The manual is only different in shift knob removal(the manual shift knob and lock nut just unscrew) all of the other parts of install/removal are the same as the video.
Would this void your manufacturer’s warranty?
The Idlestopper will NOT void your warranty, the manufacturer isn’t allow to void your entire warranty legally because of the Moss/Magnusson warranty Act law that was passed in the 1970s. At MOST, the dealer could deny a warranty claim on the idle stop off switch and the center power socket as these are connected directly to the device (and that’s only if they can PROVE the Idlestopper was the fault) All other vehicle systems and parts would still be fully protected under your normal warranty and cannot be affected by you installing the module into your vehicle. The Idlestopper is designed to not fail in any way that can damage the vehicle. It’s a very minimally invasive installation and has no issues with compatibility or durability. It does not reprogram or change any factory settings, it simply presses the off button electronically.
Is this the same process if you have the wireless charger?
Yes! The process is the same and the wireless charge pad will come up with the console panel. There will be one extra wire to unplug from the wireless charger that isn’t shown in the video but that’s it.
@@idlestopper7486The charge pad blocks me from being able to remove the console panel (blocked by shifter base)
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. The charge pad can be removed or separated from the shifter/console trim panel and it should be only held in by 4 white clips. The charge pad should clear the shifter base at the right angle but you will have to unplug the charge pad connector first to allow for more movement. Hope this helps!
@@aastn1337 it worked for me with the wireless charger, you just have to disconnect it
I live in a cold climate and would like to warm my vehicle up in the winter. After 20 min of run time the civic shuts off. Will this also disable that as well? If not do you have bypass for that stupid feature.
We don’t offer a bypass module for the 20 min timer shutoff.
You can however just buckle the drivers seatbelt and the vehicle will not shut off at 20 min and keep idling as long as you’d like. If it thinks someone is sitting in the vehicle (seatbelt buckled) the idle timer doesn’t operate.
Thank you for the quick reply. I was just wondering if there was another option out there than that. That may be what i have to do. @@idlestopper7486
Also , can we get the link to order the idle start disabled? If you haven’t done so
Link: www.idlestopper.com for purchase or for more info
Ok so mine has the yellow wire that needs to be tapped to another wire do I have the older version ? Or am I missing something.I would like to have a complete plug and play.
If you have the wire tap module, here is the correct video for your Civc:
ua-cam.com/video/Y-Zn6yjp-4I/v-deo.html
The complete plug and play v2 is for certain trim levels/configurations. We are working on a v2 for the other civic trims but it isn’t ready yet.
Is there any longterm defects after installing idle stopper?
Nope! We have had no issues with our modules since inception in 2020. No compatibility problems or long term use issues at all.
Thanks for your interest!
Do you happen to make them for EXL hatchback 2022?
Yes we sure do! Here’s a link to the item page where you can select your model in the drop down menu:
www.idlestopper.com/product/idlestopper/5
I have a 2022 civic si manual would this module still be the same? Mine is not the hatch back which module should i buy?
We do have a module for the Si! The installation is identical aside from the shift knob (which just unscrews on a manual). When purchasing, just select the vehicle option labeled “Honda Civic Sedan (Sport/Touring/Si” that is the correct one for your Si.
Thanks for your interest!
@@idlestopper7486 thank you so much👍🏼
So simply unplugging the idle stop plug isn't enough to disable the feature?
Unfortunately, not. Unplugging the switch will cause a warning light and a “constantly repeating warning message of idle stop system problem”. Really wish Honda would’ve put in a way from the factory to permanently disable as an option.
@@idlestopper7486 Thank you for the prompt reply. Awesome product and very helpful video.
Does light still stay on within the Guage cluster?
Thanks for your interest!
With Our module the vehicle will still have the
"A" off symbol lit just as if the system was disabled via the off button. We do not offer a module that disables the idle stop and turns the light off.
Just so you know our thinking behind the design:
Our module retains the idle stop function if you were to need it in situations that may be helpful such as bad traffic where the system may actually work well to save fuel.
Also the light being ON is a good confirmation that the system IS disabled and if you already disable via the off button then the white "a" light is something that most are used to being lit at all times.
Hi,is this will work on civic 2022 EX in Canada ?thanks
Yes! Visit www.idlestopper.com and select the v2 module. Then Just select your vehicle model in the drop down menu. You can select international shipping as an option for Canada 🇨🇦 at checkout for a $15 cost. All of our modules are compatible with U.S. and Canadian vehicles of all trim levels/body styles.
Does the pry tool come with it?
Yes! The pry tool is included
Is this process different in the Si?
The only difference Would be the shift knob removal. It’s a simple unscrew on a manual shift knob and saves a few steps
is it the same on the touring model sedan?
Yes it is the same, the only difference may be if you have a wireless charger. It will need to be removed during install but it’s just clipped in and can be removed easily.
Is this compatible with the sport manual?
Thanks for your interest and Yes! Use this link to the item page and select your model from the drop-down menu:
www.idlestopper.com/product/idlestopper/5
The installation process will be exactly the same aside from the shifter knob removal. The manual trans knob unscrews or the shift boot can be unclipped and lifted up to allow for console trim clearance when removing.
@@idlestopper7486 thank you. I'm about to purchase one hopefully soon so I'd love to get this!
would this work on a Honda Civic Sport Touring Hatchback?
This v2 module will work on the 22 civic hatchback but only if it’s a CVT(Auto) transmission. The v2 version for the manual trans models is not available yet.
@@idlestopper7486 Does it work on EXL Hatchback?
Hi, will it be working on 2023 civic sport sedan?
Thanks for your interest! Yes we do currently have a module for the 23 Civic Sport sedan.
www.idlestopper.com. Select v2 module and the select your vehicle/transmission option in the drop down menu.
Will this work on a 2024 Honda civic hatchback sport?
Yes! We definitely have an idlestopper for your Civic sport. Visit www.idlestopper.com to purchase or we have offerings on Amazon and EBay, just search “idlestopper”. Thanks for your interest!
Nice I will be buying this! I HAAAAAAATE the idle shutoff@@idlestopper7486
Will this void the new car warranty?
I just purchased a 2023 Honda Civic Sport Sedan 2.0L
Thanks for your interest!
The Idlestopper will NOT void your warranty, the manufacturer isn’t allow to void your entire warranty legally because of the Moss/Magnusson warranty Act law that was passed in the 1970s.

Aftermarket parts are a normal part of the industry and manufacturers know it. Customers use many after market parts on their NEW vehicles:
-Phone and usb adapters
-drive cameras
-radar scanners
-wiper blades
-tires
-wheels
These are just a few of the things that, by the above standard, can technically “void” parts of your warranty in a similar fashion to the idlestopper.
Example;
If a phone charger adapter that you got from eBay shorts out and damages your power socket or fuse in your car then the manufacturer isn’t going to cover the repairs needed. Does not void warranty, just denied coverage to that specific repair.
Example;
If the Idlestopper shorts out and damages power socket fuse in your vehicle then the manufacturer isn’t going to cover the repairs. Does not void warranty, just denied coverage for that specific repair.
Example;
If you put aftermarket tires and wheels on your new car and have issues with balance or vibration then the manufacturer isn’t going to cover the repairs if they are needed to the wheels or tires. Does not void warranty, just denied coverage for that specific repair.
Hope that makes sense! Again thanks for your interest.
@@idlestopper7486 Honda is stupid for putting this on a car in the first place
Couldn’t agree more 😁 Idle stop and the constant stopping/starting in general is terrible for the vehicle’s starter/battery/engine all in the name of “fuel savings” which are extremely minimal at best.
Honda should have included a setting to permanently turn off from the factory. In real world driving situations the idle stop is inefficient and a possible safety hazard.
I can second when i asked my dealer l "Hey i plan to cut headlight power wires to install some aftermarket stuff, does that void warranty" they told me chopping wires and all that stuff doesn't void warranty. Changing stuff like cold air intake, turbo inlet, intercoolers, turbo, etc doesn't void warranty.
What "voids" warranty ( refusal to pay for service coverage, so you pay ) is if you cut a wire and the ECU or something fails, because you shorter 12V to a data sense pin. Then theyre gona go "well, we see you cut the headlight wire and chances are what you did there causes the headlight data signals to stop working"
Basically. If what you install can be traced to whatever failed, they cant fault your mod ( and will try to fault your mod ). But if they cant prove your mod caused the damage, then its on them.
So does a idlestoppper risk damaging your car? Well. It plugs into the 12V accessory adapter. If that fails, a fuse blows, no problem / no big deal. On the switch side, presumably all this unit does is just have transistors that act as an electronic switch that simply passes the signal when triggered. And even if that transistor failed, the worst its gona do is just look like your holding the idle stop button down forever. Which isnt gona blow anything up xD
Can you provide me with the module part number thanks
? Module part number?
@@idlestopper7486 I’m sorry the harness part number . I have the 2022 civic sport thanks
There is a no part number, but here’s the webpage link to purchase the Idlestopper:

Any way to disable the dash light that says its disabled? The light should be on when ACTIVE not OFF..
There’s no way to turn off the light permanently unless the system is completely disabled. Most like the option to turn back on and use the system in situations like heavy traffic where the system would actually be somewhat useful. I understand your annoyance with the light being on but can assure you that it will become not even something that you notice. I agree that Honda should have had the light turn ON only when the system is ACTIVE but at least they made the idle stop light white in color in the 22+ models instead of the more obnoxious yellow of the previous years. Hope this helps!
The manual says: "If you press and hold the Auto Idle Stop OFF button, you can select whether to display the status messages or not."
