There seems to be an enormous amount of discussion and information available on the Internet. Try doing a search for "auto start-stop" and your specific vehicle year and model.

Other Bill- ForScan works with an Android or iOS phone/tablet as well.

I have the Dodge equivalent (AlfaOBD) and I bought a cheapo used Android phone on Craigslist to run it. The phone and OBD dongle live in the glovebox so I always have a scan tool on hand should the truck throw a light. Just know that with any of these programs you can get yourself into trouble real quick if you’re not careful. I bought mine to program VIN and fuel injectors to a used tuned ECM. I’ve also enabled Bambi mode (fog lights don’t drop out with high beams), global window down (press unlock on remote 2x and hold, front windows drop), and a full time running lights as DRLs. Not bad for under $100 total investment.

That phone has become the remote control to the TM… It also functions as the display for my rearview camera, trailer TPMS operates through the phone, along with the LevelMate Pro and Hughes Watchdog EMS & surge protector. I’m looking at a Bluetooth enabled battery shunt… Guess where that will route through?

I’m trying to come up with a spot to mount it on the wall (prefer magnet like the car mount, maybe velcro) in the TM with a charging cord.
