Love mine as well.
works perfect. A bit over priced...but I still bought it. Haha.
Should of been like this from the factory.
Hate when Government policies makes corporations treat us like little children.
Give us the the ability to turn the Auto Stop off /on without defaulting to on at each drive cycle.
Great $$ opportunity for AutoStop Eliminator.

I'm glad you guys like the Autostop Eliminator! 
On the device cost...we are trying to get the price down, but it's difficult. I know most people think we're making lots of money, but the fact is, I haven't earned back my initial investment. When all costs are considered, the margins are thin. We'd need to purchase in very large quantities to have the leverage to negotiate a better price from our suppliers, but this is a niche market with relatively low demand. As it turns out, the overwhelming majority of people don't mind auto start/stop enough to do anything to change it. Many of the remaining folks are perfectly satisfied with one of the hack solutions (and that's fine.. to each his own).
Also, the device may appear inexpensive to manufacture, but it really isn't. The device uses the highest quality electronic components available and is made in the USA. So far we haven't had a single device fail. We've had fewer than 5 manufacturing defects where the robot didn't get the solder perfect, but no true failures. I'm confident if we were using foreign manufacturers, it'd be very difficult to maintain the same level of quality.

Just received mine yesterday and within 15 min it was up and running. I used the FORScan method for over a year without any issues, no complaints. I just wanted to make the BMS work like it was suppose to. Travis was great to work with and helped me out with an odd payment method.

I'm thrilled with the product and feel much better having the BMS active. Not sure how important it really is but why take a chance. This is the safest alternative by far.

I do commend Auto Stop Eliminator on the obvious quality of their product. It's definitely built with care. The high quality fittings and touches like the protective wrapping around the cable is very appreciated. I was impressed when I installed mine.
I'll keep spreading the word about the product to friends.

I didn't read the other 27 pages, but I installed mine and love it. It behaves exactly the way I want it to. Personally I leave it off unless the weather is nice, windows down, and I'm sitting at a long light.

Button?? What is this button everyone keeps talking about?
I haven't pushed one in the last three months out of annoyance of the ***, which by definition, is not annoying.
No downsides to that!
