BODENLA Auto Start Stop Disable – Plug-In Relay for Chevy Equinox/Malibu/Cruze and Cadillac XT4/XT5/XT6 (2013–2018)

Take control of auto start/stop with a plug-in solution from BODENLA

The BODENLA Auto Start Stop Disable is a compact, two-terminal relay designed to sit discreetly in your vehicle’s electrical path. It works with select GM models from 2013 through 2018 (and Buick Enclave Encore through 2019), offering a straightforward way to approach the start/stop system without adding bulky modules or energy storage. With a simple plug-in setup, you can preserve the familiar driving feel while exploring a more predictable engine response in daily commutes and longer trips alike.

Key specifications keep things clean under the hood: a slim 2.5 x 1.5 x 0.5 inch footprint and a silver, normally open two-terminal connector. The result is a secure, minimal connection that remains unobtrusive during routine service or maintenance.

How it works and how to install

Installation is straightforward. After you disconnect the hood open latch, simply plug the ends into the auto start stop eliminator. Reconnect and test with a short local drive. There is no internal module to charge and no energy storage to manage—just a direct connection you can remove if you ever need to revert.

Real-world use and benefits

In stop-and-go traffic or during short city trips, you may notice the engine behavior feels more predictable while keeping the driving experience familiar. The device is designed to stay out of the way, with a compact form that tucks neatly under the hood and away from daily wear. While results can vary by vehicle, many drivers appreciate the option of manual-like control without promising specific outcomes.

Quality, fit, and warranty

Built for reliability, the kit uses a sturdy two-terminal connection and a low-profile form factor that minimizes cable clutter. The included lifetime warranty offers support if you receive a mis-shipped item or encounter a non-critical issue, with prompt solutions available via message.
