174 dollars to save pressing a button by your thigh on the few trips where the stop start may annoy you! Even i draw the line at that level of laziness and i, I'm sure this is oxymoronic, work hard to be lazy!

Maybe i have more than a few million $ so $174 is no big deal but the question was
"If you are using this in your car please tell me how it is going for you".
So please stay on topic why is there always one smart *** in every group
By the way Mid City Engineering dose not ship to Australia just for your info.....

I have had the auto start stop in three cars now I hated it from day one still hate it now. The way i look at it is you do not have to accept anything in life just because its there Benz or not if i can find a way around it i just try and see how it works out if it works the way i want great if not you are back were you started from and what have you lost sweet F.A.....It's always your choice how and what you do.I always take full responsibility for my actions what ever they maybe.I am sure no one can get uptight about this just relax and enjoy your car i do but i do it my way......

I don't like the Stop-Start system either, the part that you cannot set it off by default.

All i wanted to know was if any one had the Mid City Engineering Eco Off how was it working out for them.
now little boys and girls lets all stay on topic.
YES reconfigured my dash screen to watch TV while driving for Australia football and cricket funny this was about the Mid City Engineering Eco Off
and yes its all about me me me ....... next you will tell me how you never drive you Benz to save emissions if your talking about the greater good for all
of humanity.
By the way it's not what the rules say that is important it's what the rules do not say that is more import.

I have had it on two E series. Don't care much for it in my particular driving use, and usually turn it off. I would love to have MB give me the choice to permanently shut it off, but they don't. I believe some BMWs do. I do find it funny some people criticize the desire to turn off Eco Stop/Start, but vigorously defend their right to drive cars with bigger engines and worse fuel economy. Who's saving the planet now??
Sadly no one seems able to answer your original question (before veering off topic), and there are no reviews on the manufacturer's web site. Looks like the product here in USA is sold through dealers. Maybe one of them would be able to ship to you if you decide to buy. Good luck.

In the UK and most likely in most mixed energy source open markets you can buy your home energy from companies who trade only in clean energy. So you can, theoretically, run an electric car without creating emissions. Of course production costs will be higher in terms of energy but again, in countries with high clean energy mixes that's not such an impact anymore. And a lot of our is harvestable at the end.
I remember stories about the Prius life cycle cost being worse then gas guzzling offroaders but technology and design has moved on.
