There is a company [smartstopstart.com] that make's a disable system for 2017 down and working on one for the new vehicle's as per their website. I think it works off the obdII port. What it does is fools the vehicle when you start it to remember you had pushed the button to disable the start/stop. Also works for sport mode i believe. Price is $130 for the current one.This thread is very important to me, because the ESS feature puts a lot more wear and tear on the starter and battery. Many of these environmental-saving features are actually counter-productive.
Regarding the above-mentioned jumper wire on the ESS switch, I believe the switch is set up to sent a signal to the ECM, similar to the aux switches which can be configured in various ways. If so, a jumper wire wouldn't solve the problem because it's not a traditional on/off switch.
Does anyone know if the hood plunger switch is the same switch controlling the engine compartment feature of the alarm? The constant hood warning would be annoying too.
