Ok so maybe not a complete delete, BUT you don't have to press the button when you start the car anymore. Found it on ebay here

If you're more of a reader, the button has a bit of a delay. If you don't start the car before that delay is over, it wont work. - Авто та транспорт
I hate that Stop Start feature too. It prematurely destroys the starter. Thanks for vid !#
Where is the evidence of this? Hyrbids, and a whole bunch of other cars have this feature. I think a lot of people have a misconception that the starters in new cars are made the same as the starters from 1970s
@@beexiong2995 Hybrids do not use the starter with auto start stop. The electric motors spin the engine to 1500 rpm which starts the engine
@@beexiong2995 wear on the engine more than a starter
Going to try this , thanks man! Keep adding and doing mods with videos , Toyota gang lol!!🤙🇺🇸
Super helpful video. All others over complicate the process and have you remove too much of the car. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
That is a great solution to a problem that should not exist. I hate auto start stop and also any extra lights that have no importance to distract my eyes on the gauge cluster. I wonder how many people are really difficult with Toyota sales about this auto start stop! I'm considering a 2021 RAV4 LE for my next vehicle and I'm going to tell the salesman that auto start stop needs to have this module or something like it installed for free from the dealership and the orange cluster light unplugged.
Goodluck with that
Thanks for info.
It is fantastic to know . I'll go and buy one for $30.
Putting it in sports mode disables my auto start stop on a 21 RAV4 XLE
You can also disconnect the wire near the bonnet release.
You would have to turn off notifications on the cluster so it won’t warn you it’s open. And my remote start wouldn’t work
Thanks a lot simpler than other videos.
After you install the device, DO NOT PUSH THE DISABLE AUTO START BUTTON EVER! OR else have to disconnect and reconnect the wire again.
Interesting! Thanks for the heads up
why so? For me it just auto-disables it, and then I can push this button as usual, it just works as expected
No Chinese electronics needed. If you disconnect the electrical connector on the hood latch, auto start stop will no longer work. The hood latch switch is designed to disable when the hood is open for service. Unplugging the connector is the equivalent of turning off the switch when the hood is open. There's a "popup message" setting on your dash cluster that will turning off the "auto start stop unavailable" message on the dash once the wire is disconnected. Do those two things and you will never know the car ever had it. Takes like 5 minutes.
You’ll have to turn off notifications for any alerts on your cluster. Plus I’m planning to add remote start and it won’t work with that sensor disconnected
@@eltumbleweed05 don't know about remote start but you don't have to turn off popups. You just get a message saying it's unavailable every time it would have turned on. Not nearly as annoying as the feature itself. Also the popups I turned off seemed to be specific to start/stop only. Hopefully it's useful for people not interested in remote start and wiring Chinese electronics into their electrical system. Been working great for me so far.
Do you mean the connector to the latch under the actual hood? Not inside the cabin under the wheel, right? If so, do you just pull up on the little tab piece and squeeze the sides and pull it out?
@@dirkwiggler9294 yes the latch in the engine compartment. It's a little hard to remove the connector but when you disconnect it, it no longer works. It thinks the hood is open for service. Surprisingly there's no hood open warning when driving. I kind of expected that. However, after removal there is a message that says that it's unavailable every time it would have engaged. You can either ignore that or you can turn that message off under the popup messages in the settings menu. I would recommend taping the ends of the connectors to make them water tight. Maybe zip tie the dangling end so it doesn't hang down by the fan. Works on my '21 RAV4 XLE Premium. It throws no codes on a code reader. Can't vouch for other models, years or features but it works perfectly so far..
@@dirkwiggler9294 also, if you can get a zip tie around the actual electrical switch to hold it closed, it would be the same as disconnecting the wire. I tried but my fingers are to fat to fish it in there so I gave up.
SWEET!!! Just ordered it. THANKS!
Glad it helped!
Anyone know if there's a similar connector on a 2018 highlander xle w/ SS
I'm glad i don't have this problem
Stop start is bad for engine , starter, battery. It was developed for hybrids. Not supposed to be on full gas cars. The epa pays car manufacturers to put it in. You save 3-5% on gas but your car lasts half as long.
the EPA doesn't pay them. if they don't meet qualification they the car cant be sold in the US
It doesn’t shorten the starter life. The starter is designed to last 300k starts per Toyota.
New subscribed here! I have a 2020 xle. What wheels and rims do you have? Looks great!
Thanks!!! Wheels are AVID AV30’s and tires are Falken Wildpeak A/T’s
I need this so badly. Having issues with a brand new rav4 because of this stupid feature.
The item you bought is no longer available :(
I bet there’s another manufacturer that’s making them by now. eBay is a great place to look
Can't this be turned off at the ECU level at the dealer? There should be a default setting for Auto Start/Stop
Nope. I checked both on Techstream (the Toyota OE software) and with aftermarket tools to see if it could be disabled
Call me a nitpicker, but I hate the orange light on the dash on all the time. Also I’m not too keen on Chinese cable ad ons while my car is still under warrantee. So I’ll pass on this one. Nevertheless great that you’re sharing. Thanks!
Yeah the light took some getting used to lol. Ill take that over my car turning on and off at every light though. I might see if there is a way to reprogram whatever module controls it to think it doesn't have it
depends on the legislation of your country, i think in most cases device like this won't void the whole warranty on your car...
Hello, thank you very much for showing this procedure, I just bought a RAV4 2021 and I find this system annoying, could you tell me where I bought the part you put on it and if it has given you some kind of problem later. Thank you
Absolutely! Here is the link to the item I purchased. No problems so far

@@eltumbleweed05 Just checked, apparently this doesn't work with 2021 RAV4 according to the seller.
@@josersmos7617 Interesting. I wonder if they just haven't tried it on one yet
@@josersmos7617 I have the Canadian 2021 RAV4 LE, and I can confirm that it works in my model just as his does.
@@josersmos7617 I just tried one I bought off Amazon just like this on my parents 2021 Rav4. Did not work at all. Its like it did not even recognize it was installed.
Hello, please tell me the name of that module
Auto Stop Start Engine Canceller Eliminator
Easy to do BUT another video says that doing this also deactivates the PRE-COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM. Not good.
Interesting, mine definitely still works. I haven't seen a fault code for that module either.
Would this work on a 2021 xle pre ?
I didn't think those came with start stop. does it have a button like the one in the picture?
@@eltumbleweed05 yes ..
Can you post an updated link? This one does not work anymore.
I don't have an updated link to the exact one I used. They are a lot more options now, you may have to search XA50 RAV4
Wow, the Eng that designed this auto S/S is dumb. why didn't they make it to be automatic be off when car starts. and press the button if the driver wants that feature. they made it opposite. and it makes the dashboard looks worrysome. the dashboard on normal should not have any red/yellow lights now.
I can't understand Toyota engineers. Why was that not a simple slide switch or memory added like a radio station preset. Should be so simple to have it set on or off permanently. It's unbelievable. Toyota infotainment and cockpit is generally not the best and that is a great example of pure stupid. It's too bad I really want a RAV4 and to drive a Toyota since they are mechanically very good, but for this reason and a couple others I can't get in a vehicle that I need to arrange settings before I drive each time. Any vehicles I owned in the past I get in start and drive with no fuss.
They are like this in every brand. Blame the EPA. They have pushed this system on us.
Not available anymore.
If you look up start stop delete harness, you can find a similar one
