2024-2025 Chevrolet Trax Auto Start Stop Eliminator
Product function
Applications: The 2024–2025 Chevrolet Trax. Each listed year carries a 100% fitment match in the table. In these years the Trax is a subcompact crossover offered with 1.2L turbo three-cylinder engines. Trim is not split out, so any Chevrolet Trax in these years with factory Auto Stop/Start and the pictured connector is covered.
How it connects: It plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions. Both ends are factory-style plugs, so nothing is cut or spliced. No software is changed.
Before you order: Check the year against the fitment rows and look for the Auto Stop/Start button. Look at the connector in the photos before ordering.
What stays factory: Your Auto Stop/Start button keeps working. No change is made to engine output, transmission behavior or charging. The Chevrolet Trax can still refuse an automatic stop when conditions are not right.
What it does: From the factory, the Chevrolet Trax turns Auto Stop/Start on again each time the engine starts. With the inline memory harness fitted, the state you left it in carries over to the next drive. Turning it back on is the same button press, and that choice is stored as well.
Shipping, returns, warranty: No-cost standard shipping in the contiguous United States (handling 1–2 business days, transit 3–4). Pre-approved returns are accepted for 45 days, with a 20% restocking fee and customer-paid return shipping. The part has a 3-year limited warranty. Fitment questions go to support@automotivebypass.com (Mon–Fri, 9–5 PST); include the VIN.

Description
A inline memory harness for the 2024–2025 Chevrolet Trax. Out of the factory, Auto Stop/Start comes back on at every key cycle. This module remembers your last choice and sends it again at the next start. It plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions. Both ends are factory-style plugs, so nothing is cut or spliced.
Nothing is reprogrammed in the engine computer. The module only stands in for the button press you would otherwise make after every start, and it comes out without leaving a trace.
Which Chevrolet Trax models it fits
The fitment table for this SKU lists the following, each marked as a 100% fitment match:
- Chevrolet Trax: 2024–2025
For reference, the Chevrolet Trax in these years is a subcompact crossover offered with 1.2L turbo three-cylinder engines. The listing is written around the second-generation (2024-up) Trax. Trim is not listed separately. Any trim in these years with factory stop-start and the pictured connector is covered.
Why the button resets
Auto Stop/Start is designed to default to on. The off switch (usually marked with an "A" inside a circular arrow) cancels it for the current drive. At the next start the system is armed again. That reset is intentional on the manufacturer's side, and it is the only behavior this module changes.
What to expect
- Leaves no permanent change after removal.
- Holds the stop-start button state between drives.
- Leaves engine and transmission software untouched.
- Lets you re-enable the system with the factory button at any time.
If stop-start is not engaging
A Chevrolet Trax that rarely auto-stops is often telling you something about the battery. Stop-start vehicles usually run an AGM or EFB battery, and the system is one of the first features to drop out as that battery ages. Cabin temperature requests, engine temperature and brake pressure also factor in. None of these checks are altered by the module.
Battery and charging
Vehicles with stop-start normally use an AGM or EFB battery sized for repeated restarts. If you replace it, use the same type and size, and follow the manufacturer's battery reset or registration step where one exists. A wrong or unregistered battery can leave the stop-start system disabled, and that has nothing to do with this module.
Where it connects
It plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions. Both ends are factory-style plugs, so nothing is cut or spliced. Work with the ignition off. Seat each connector until its lock engages, then secure the module with the supplied ties or tape so it cannot rattle or touch pedals, steering parts or anything hot. Start the vehicle, press the stop-start button once, then restart to confirm the choice is held.
Why owners turn it off
Pressing the same button on every drive is what wears on owners. People who tow, plow, idle in pickup lines, creep through heavy traffic or simply want the engine running at a light end up making the same press dozens of times a week. On the Chevrolet Trax, the module turns that into a one-time choice you can still change whenever you want.
If something does not look right
If the setting is not remembered, check that the module was installed with the ignition off and that the connector clicked into place. Then press the factory button once, switch the vehicle off, close the doors, give the electronics time to shut down, and start again. If it still resets, contact support with the year, trim and a photo of the connector.
Fitment check
- Model year and model match a row in the table above (2024–2025 Chevrolet Trax).
- Your Chevrolet Trax has the factory stop-start button. Base trims or engines without stop-start have nothing for the module to remember.
- The connector at your install point matches the one in the product photos.
- No aftermarket remote start, alarm or gateway bypass is wired into the same circuit. If one is, email support before ordering.
- The battery and charging system test good and no warning lights are on.
- If you are unsure, send your VIN to support@automotivebypass.com and we will confirm fitment.

Questions & Answers
Does it change engine power or fuel trims?
No. It does not reprogram the engine or transmission computers. It only stores the stop-start button state.
Will Auto Stop/Start come back on when I restart my Chevrolet Trax?
Not if you turned it off before shutting down. The module repeats your last selection at the next start. If you leave it on, it stays on.
Can I remove it later?
Yes. Unplug the module and reconnect the factory connector; the vehicle returns to its stock default.
Which Chevrolet Trax years does this fit?
The listed range is 2024–2025. Check the fitment table on this page against your exact model year.
How does it connect?
It plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions. Both ends are factory-style plugs, so nothing is cut or spliced.
Does the stop-start button still work after installation on the Chevrolet Trax?
Yes. The factory button works normally. The module simply stores whatever you chose last.
Does it change how the battery is charged?
No. Charging is still managed by the vehicle. Stop-start vehicles normally use an AGM or EFB battery built for frequent restarts; replace it with the same type when it wears out.
Will it fix a "stop-start unavailable" message?
No. That message usually points to the battery or a sensor. Diagnose and repair that first.
Why does Auto Stop/Start turn itself back on every time?
Automakers set stop-start to default to on at each start. Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.
What happens if I unplug it?
The vehicle returns to the factory default, with Auto Stop/Start switched on at every start.
Is this the same part for every Chevrolet?
No. Connectors and the module that holds the stop-start state differ by platform, so this SKU is matched to the fitment rows on this page. Send the VIN to support if you are unsure.
Why does my Chevrolet Trax sometimes not auto-stop even when the system is on?
The factory logic checks battery charge, engine temperature, climate load and other inputs. If any are outside range it keeps the engine running. The module does not affect those checks.
Does my Chevrolet Trax need the factory stop-start button for this to work?
Yes. The module works with the factory stop-start system and its button. A vehicle built without stop-start has no setting for it to remember.
