I think the teaser would be more than enough for me.

I think I may have to get one of these...exactly what I want. https://www.cjponyparts.com/autosto...stop-switch-assembly-f-150-2015-2019/p/AE001/ $100 though.

I bought one of these a few weeks back. Best $100 upgrade I’ve done to the truck!

Your first mistake was doing business with Starbucks.....

I hate it too so I just put it in sport and drive it like I stole it. Problem solved

With the extra options you get with forscan and ease of use its really the best option.

And it's cheaper too

Sport mode doesn't "survive" after an engine restart either, though...so either way you're having to press a button (or in your case, press a button twice) to disable the ASS.

I added a Cobb (Primarily to get the nice tranny updates/upgrades for my ‘17) and the program included an option to permanently shut off that auto start so that alone made it worth the price for me.

I have a 2018 802A and I live in Southern California. I personally hate the auto shut-off feature when coming to a stoplight. I always manually turn it off from the button on my dash. About 6 months ago, I took the truck into the dealer for some unrelated warranty work and when I got it back, there were some tell tale signs that the software had been updated. Cool! So I did some exploring through the system settings and discovered that I could permanently toggle off/disable the auto start feature. I was ecstatic! Well about 2 weeks ago I pulled up to a Starbucks and my Sync automatically joined the WiFi and performed an automatic update. I then noticed auto stop was happening again. I went back into the system and turned off this feature, but now every time I restart the truck, it reverts back to the default of auto stop on. GGGRRRRR!! I am pissed. Did anyone else experience this? Is there a work around (besides Forscan) that I am not aware of? I know this is a minor thing but it is just f*^king annoying.

How Lazy have we gotten? It took the same amount of time to push the disable button then say to start your vehicle, messing with radio and etc. If this really bother any of you, for God sake please go get help, there are other things to worry about then have to push a button that would take less than a second to solved your problem. God Bless young man

Quit tapping wires and pulling apart the dash and get with the new times. FORSCAN cost 10$ for a 12 month subscription and the OBD2 adapter is 27$ from Amazon. Spreadsheets are all over the web for free. 2017 SCREW 802A and I just did the following between the last 2 weekends.

1 - DISABLE double Horn Honk - When you get out of the vehicle with key fob in pocket, it does not honk anymore.
2 - DISABLE fake engine noise - Apparently and evidently the speakers in the cab emit an engine noise. Much better now its off.
3 - ENABLE heated and cooled seat and heated steering wheel shortcut on home screen.
4 - DISABLE Auto start / stop function. Disable switch and function and warning dash message. Like it never existed.
5 - ENABLE engine oil and trans temps show actual Temp above gauges on dash.
6 - ENABLE Bambi Mode. When I hit the brights, the low beams stay on as well.
7 - ENABLE auto fold rear view mirrors when parking the truck.
8 - DISABLE Start up chimes when staring the vehicle. Doo-Doo-Doo. So annoying.
9 - ENABLE Secure Idle Enable. If the key fob is is not in the vehicle when its running, you can not put it into gear.

All of these mods were made with FORSCAN and not pulling apart the dash and jumping wires.

I just got used to it. Hardly even notice it anymore. The truck stays running when it needs to and if I'm trying to be quick off the line I'm in sport mode anyway.
