Permanently disable automatic start-stop on your Kia Sportage — the engine stays running the way you want, every single drive.
Stop Pressing That Button Every Drive
The auto start-stop system on your Kia Sportage shuts the engine off at every red light and stop sign to chase a tiny fuel-economy bump — and it gets old fast. Tapping the off button every time you get in isn't a real fix. This Kia Sportage auto start-stop eliminator permanently disables it the moment you start the vehicle, so the engine stays running.
Installation is genuinely plug-and-play — it uses factory connectors, keeps the factory button working if you ever want to re-enable the system, and takes just a few minutes.
Designed & Assembled in the USA
Our devices are built in the USA using components certified for automotive use (AEC-Q200). Unlike many other products, the Autostop Eliminator makes no changes to your vehicle's wiring or ISG programming — which keeps it warranty- and lease-friendly. To revert to stock behavior, simply unplug the device. It installs in minutes and restores your preference automatically, so you never have to press that button again.
