Auto Off Delete

Is there a way to program the auto off (while stopped) so it permanently is defeated? Really get tired of pushing the button.

It can be programmed via XENTRY. but most people just get the SmartTOP module

You are tired of pushing that auto off button each time you start the car, yet you push the engine start button each time you start the car and thats not a problem? Your hand is up to push the engine start so you hit the auto off button as you bring your hand down. One single down motion, not an extra. I guess you could also not have push button start?

I am not a fan of the auto off feature either, but getting tired of pushing the auto off button when you push a button to start the car is a bit of a stretch, but I guess different things bother each of us more, or less than others.

Let us know what you end up doing about it.

Thanks, very helpful. I had a similar module which I installed on my XKR for remote top opening. This will be some nice conveniences.

My sincere thanks for this extremely helpful reply. Somehow in my lack of ergonomic prowess I failed to see that I had been using my left hand to do this action. Now with your help I see I can perform the function in one motion with my right hand. I will certainly give this a try when I drive the car again and revert back to you on how your system works. I may need some additional assistance on the seat belt connection, will get back to you on that. Thanks

There are programmers that can code it to save your settings after you turn off your ignition:
