[QUOTE="NXR71, post: 23580, member: 6892"] And the verdict is...You're off the hook! :) Two days after replacing the 5 year-old original battery the Auto Start/Stop "feature" was back to its annoying practice of killing the engine at pretty much every red light. Today I installed the same cable you bought (small plug) and... - The Hood Open warning still works normally. - The car will not remote start with the hood up. - With the hood down, the car remote started and ran for 15 minutes. After the engine stopped I waited about three minutes and tried again. The car started right up and ran for another fifteen minutes. - I went on a 9-mile test drive. The longest I was stopped at a red light was 1:36 and the engine never shut down. A second red light for 45 seconds was the same; the engine kept running. - No CEL or any other abnormal effect was noticed. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
