    An example looks something like this

    (It shows an one adapter in the first image but it shows an actual harness further down)

    I didn’t see one for Mercedes on that site, but it sounds like it mentions the existence of them here under method 3

    Installation usually involves:

    • Accessing the wiring behind your start/stop button

    • Installing the module inline with the existing harness

    • Securing the module in a hidden location

    That page also suggests that you may be able to disable it with a programming tool on some models. Depending on what you have I’d give that a try first

      Thanks boss. I’ll see if my car guy can do the OBD2 setting next time I’m in. Wild that there is a viable market for a component to disable this baby puncher of a feature.
