Start/Stop Technology

It would probably be a lot less annoying if it just remembered the last setting rather then defaulting to on every time you turn the car on. Then you could decide how you want it to behave regardless of whether your preference was on or off. There's probably some reason Dodge didn't program it that way. Some federal MPG requirement maybe? That only a WAG on my part

Yeah it seems be have been a legal requirement to default on, which I think is dumb. I'm not blaming Dodge/Stellantis for anything other than their choice to include the "feature" on a performance car.

I mean, to each their own, but the diablosport will also add HP so it's win/win.
The engine stopping bothers me a lot. I've said it before that I don't mind that the feature exists, I am irrationally annoyed that it defaults to being on.
I'm all for protecting the environment but there are more sensible ways to do that.

My 16 R/T certainly guzzled fuel while idling, that could have used start/stop. Nobody has cracked the PCM yet, Diablosport appears to have the head start story for another thread ....

Doesn't work while in park, only while hitting the brakes. General consensus is that it does more for emissions than it does for gas consumption. If you live in an area where you spend a ton of time at stop lights or you have a lot of stopped traffic it will definitely help with fuel, but otherwise it doesn't do much.
Traffic is chill near me and stop lights are short so it doesn't do much.

And yeah, no full tunes yet, just a little boost for now.
