I took your advice. Returned cheap amazon one. Contacted Steve and bought the smart one. I don’t want some unknown china thing in my new rubi-x. Thanks.I would not install the "auto start/stop eliminator" offering or the same unit branded with s differnt name if you gave it to me for free..
Suggest you send that offering back for a full refund while you can.
Buy a SmartStopStart unit for $100.
The offering you purchased is known to hiccup on occasion. It will work and then it won't work occasionally.
-> I read where one JT owner had an issue with this unit where it kept UConnect awake when it hiccuped and the guy ended up with a no start situation thanks to battery(s) depletion.
Another thing with this offering.... very big in size... and also where it installs is YUK.
Do you really want to tear into that visible dash area and risk marring of plastic and loss/damage of clips, etc. and have to deal with getting the offering squished in there each and every time you remove the unit (yes, you should when you take the JL in for dealership or to a shop for work)
Anyway, makes little sense to go with this offering..... sure you save a few $ .... but..... anyway, no way I would go with this offering..
Going with a SmartStopStart unit that is known to never ever hiccup and that does the job every time, year after year is the way to go.
When you sell the JL, you can also sell the SmartStopStart unit. You will be able to sell it easily for a tad less then what you paid for it. SmartStopStart is a top notch offering, terrific reputation.
--> I know, I sound like a promo ad... but I'm just a long time user of a SmartStopStart and someone that is very aware of the downfalls of similar offerings..
