Getting Rid of FAKE V8 Noise on my 3rd Gen Toyota Tundra

Thinking About Auto-Start/Stop Eliminator — Anyone Tried It on a 2022+ Tundra?

Hey Tundra Guys, I’ve been thinking about installing an auto-start/stop eliminator on my 2022+ Tundra. I don’t always hit the brake pedal hard or long enough to trigger the auto-stop feature, but still — I don’t like the idea of the engine shutting off every time I stop. Seems like extra wear, possible oil-pressure cycling, more stress on the starter, and just a general slowdown when I hammer the gas again. I found this eliminator on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4oq9AdQ — before I pull the trigger I wanted to see if anyone here has used one. If you’ve tried an auto-stop eliminator on a 3rd-gen Tundra: Did it work reliably (no random re-enabling or errors)? Any unexpected side effects — check-engine lights, weird behavior, performance issues? Is it truly plug-and-play, or did you have to dig into wiring / deal with fuse boxes / coding? Price is a little concerning for me — It is so affordable it makes me question. But if there’s a proven one that works clean on a 2022 Tundra, I’m all ears. Let me know your experience. Appreciate it.

Let's be honest, it's a V6 with Turbos...I'm not sure why Toyota thought it would be good to make these trucks sound like they have a loud V8 but they did. I had an SR5 before my Platinum, and I actually grew to like the sound of the new engine and hearing the turbos spool up when I eased into the throttle.

So when I got my Platinum, I knew I had to turn the noise off, and I'm glad I did. I also turned the annoying seatbelt chime off among other things.

Here is the link to the product used and also my YouTube video:
