Trailer Adapter to defeat engine autostop/autostart and give back up camera on turn signal

[El Chorizo]

There was a good discussion on the FB group about adding this adapter. For everyone that chimed in it seemed to automatically turn off the autostop/autostart feature and also enabled the back-up camera on turn signal application. Some people get so tired of disabling it so this is kind of a cheap convenient way to have it done automatically. Just thought somebody might be interested:

That's a nifty gadget.

Is there a way to only enable the backup camera upon turn signal activation?

I think I'm the only one that likes the stop/start on these trucks. Not gonna lie, its because of how loud the exhaust sounds when it turns back on lol.

i can confirm this adaptor DOES NOT DEFEAT autostop by just plugging it in. it registers on DIC but autostop feature still active. maybe im missing something.

no activation on my truck. 22'

That sucks. I though the idea was a solid one though.

I have a '23. I got this and tried it. It does NOT stop the autostop (damn). It does activate the blind spot mirrors.

Interesting. I already have the start/stop deactivated. Nice to know this will give you the blind spots though.
