I just ordered it.

If I can't figure out how to disable it using FORScan in the next month or two, I'll order it. Thanks for sharing!

Seems much easier than taking the steering wheel apart like the 2020-2024 models. I may wait and see if they offer any holiday discounts next month or two in addition to feedback from others here.

I just got a 25 ST and my stop/start stays off as long as I unlock with my fob. I've only ever turned it off once and it's stayed off since.

I should state, I just like you guys hate the auto start/stop and just last week traded in a 2023 Kia Sorento Prestige Xline, which I hated and you had to click the button everytime you got in the car.

So, I pick my car up last week, first thing I do before leaving the dealership is click the button, go home set my profile up, play with the infotainment for a couple hours. Get in the car the next day and see the auto start/ stop button is lit and I go whoa, could it be, the car remembers I hate that and leaves it turned off... Well for a week now it's been off..

I'm browsing this forum tonight and see this thread, and now I'm wondering if it's a fluke? IDK

It could be the battery state of charge.

If you keep it in sport mode, that would explain it.

I watched it. But he only mentions bypassing ass and shows YouTube mirrored onto his screen. He doesn’t mention getting other things on the screen. Hardly worth $300 just to bypass ass and see YouTube is what I mean.

the forscan code works on some 25s and not on others.
i assume

it has something to do with build dates
sport its OFF by default iirc
and in my 23 it shows a line through the A S S at start up then goes away, but in sport its there.?

below is for 2025s
Disable Auto Start/Stop PSCM730-03-01 xxxx xxxx x0xx IPC will have line through start stop icon - In sport mode the switch on center console will illuminate
change the 10th spot to 0

Ohhhhh, well then that explains it. Thanks

I had my '25 in sport mode yesterday and again forgot to turn ASS off. The engine turned off at a stop light. I'll get a picture next time of the IC showing both icons.

FWIW - I ordered one (4DTECH: Explorer (2025) Start / Stop Eliminator Ford $99.99 USD), install took 3 minutes and it has worked perfectly since.

Not trying to start a firestorm, but the battery/charging system and starter are designed to work together for the Auto Stop/Start. I owned a 2017 F150 previous to my 2025 ST. I got used to the Auto Stop/Start...never turned it off. Starter never went out on it, battery was replaced at the six year point...which isn't bad for a battery in ANY vehicle. In other words, this may be annoying to you as a system in your car, but it has been designed for it, and it won't harm any of the components in your car if you leave it alone...
