Default 2018 Disable Auto start/stop jumper

I've been reading about the various methods to disable the auto start/stop feature in the F150 trucks. I'm inclined to do the jumper method at the switch since I do tow a trailer occasionally. Thing I am concerned about is the description of jumping a wire behind the switch, between the white and purple wires has been mentioned to apply only to the pre-2018 trucks?
So has anyone jumpered the wires on a 2018 and can verify which wires (colors) to jump?

Not really looking to start a debate of the pros/con of disabling the *** feature, or the mileage effects, just hoping for some confirmation from someone who has done it and is working ok.

Thanks!

I pulled the small plug down by the break pedal (2018) as detailed in several other post on here. Works great, I only get a pop up when I start the truck that says a trailer plug in plugged in. No other impact, other than it works. I can always plug it back in if I ever wanted or needed to.
