Thanks Randy for this video. Just installed Idlestopper on my Pilot after ordering from your store. I had a hard time removing the factor black power connector...until I ended up using a long flat screwdriver in 1 hand to wiggle off the connector while pushing on the upside down tab with other hand. Otherwise, it was very easy installation. Looking forward to many years of not having to hit the Auto-Off button.

Installed mine on 2019 Pilot just a tip I used a flat head screw driver to pry the black connector loose just a little only then was I able to get it off; that thing was really in there! Careful when prying though you don’t want to break anything just enough to get it loose. Also I’ll share this because I was confused but when you unplug the black 3 prong connector that then turns into both connections for the black wires on the idle stop module. At first I unplugged the other 2 black wires down there but those you leave alone. Hope this helps good product

Two other programming annoyances on my 2020 Ridgeline that I would purchase a get-around if available are: 1) While there are steering wheel controls for volume and source, I have to use the on-dash screen to MUTE the radio. On top of that, it takes two jabs to mute: one on the volume icon next to the screen to display volume control on the screen, then a 2nd jab at the MUTE selection below the volume bars. 2) Cars with a key to start have an ACC position to allow the radio to play without powering up the ignition or starting the engine. It would be nice to play the radio without turning everything on.

People are so lazy to just press and hold a button if they dont like their vehicle going into idle stop, people were so lazy that they need auto wipers and auto lights..soo LAZY that they are willing to put MORE TECHNOLOGY into their vehicles that once it fails and brings it to me to fix.

Dealer tech refused to dig deeper into things like the valve adjustment or starter because of my vcm disabler, despite previous tech installing brand new battery no issue before. Decided this was the way to go since it doesn't cut any wires. Dealer service denies they have ever had any issues with VCM or stop start on any V6 Honda.

Got mine last week from Randy. Shipped directly from idlestopper. I just installed it. Even easier than the video now. No digging into that hole. Unplug the connector from the switch.

If you didn’t notice a difference, it didn’t work. When you are at a complete stop with a hard press to the brake pedal, the engine shuts off at the red light. Once you lift the brake pedal the starter starts the engine back up “hopefully” before you hit the gas pedal. Sounds like you had a great salesman with you that did not educate on the Honda Features.
