I-Stop

[Ste Ari o]

So, I’m going to try on another forum after getting blasted on another because the admin didn’t think I’d read my owners manual. Just bought a new 2025 CX-5 Premium Plus. I am not a fan of the I-stop “feature”, and have bought an auto stop eliminator for previous vehicles that were simple plug and play components. All they do is “remember” your last setting, and keeps that setting active. In other words, if you turn the auto stop off, it remembers that setting when you start your vehicle next time. I have searched for this eliminator online and cannot find one for a Mazda. I’m asking if anyone has found one, and where did you get it.
Points to make:

1. I DID ask the service manager if there was a way to turn this off permanently, and was told emphatically no.
2. I HAVE read the service manual, and there is very little on the I-stop feature, and there are certainly no instructions on how to disable, other than for each time you start the vehicle. (I even downloaded a PDF of the manual and did a search).
3. I HAVE been completely through the programming, including all sub menus, etc. and there is nothing about the “feature”.

I appreciate any help, just to make clear; I know that I can turn auto stop off each time I start the vehicle. What I am looking for is this, Autostop Eliminator - Disable The Auto Start Stop Feature. I am just not able to find one for a Mazda.

Thanks again.

These have been available for a long time. See mikstoreph.com (Mazda iStop Disabler Kit) or Aliexpress, where they are probably available more cheaply.

Thank you!

Thank you!

You should first confirm with them though, that these work with your 2025 model!

I looked through the page link and it appears it won't work with 24-25 MY CX-5s with the larger 10" screens. I found this when I scrolled down a little bit::

"

• Not compatible with CX5 24-25 with 10" updated center screen"

Sorry, bummer.
