The auto start-stop system on your Bronco Sport shuts the engine off at every red light and stop sign to chase a tiny fuel-economy bump — and it gets old fast. Pressing the ESS button every single time you get in the truck isn't a real fix. This Bronco Sport auto start-stop eliminator permanently disables auto stop the moment you turn the key, so the engine stays running the way you want it to.
Installation is genuinely plug-and-play — no tools, no programming, no cutting wires. The device installs in just a few minutes using factory connectors and maintains full ESS button functionality, so if you ever want to re-enable auto start-stop you can. It's also fully compatible with factory and aftermarket remote start systems.
Backed by a 3-year warranty and a 60-day money-back guarantee. Emissions compliant — no check engine lights, no diagnostic trouble codes, no ECU reflash. Trusted by thousands of Bronco Sport owners who were tired of pressing that button every drive.

Installation Instructions
Plug-and-play install — no tools, no wire cutting, no programming. Takes about 5 minutes.
We offer two device different options. The AE050 installs under the wireless accessory (phone) charger. The AE058 installs into the gatway module from the passenger footwell. (Scroll down past first video.)
First, we'll show the AE050. This video is based on the Escape, but the process is nearly identical.
The AE058 installation process matches Ford Maverick, but there are some slight differences in the panel removal process to gain access to the gateway module.
Once the small trim panel is removed, follow the process in the video below. The larger side trim panel is shaped a little different, but the removal process is the same as the Maverick shown in the video.
