I have a 2015 Malibu with the auto stop feature. I was wondering if there was anyway to permanently disable the feature, including taking out aa fuze, disconnecting the AUX battery in the trunk or any other means. I do not have a switch inside the car to stop it, and the system has been causing problems for me. When it restarts it shuts off the radio, disconnecting my phone which I use VIA bluetooth to play music and make phone calls when needed.

I am assuming the problem is that I need yet another Aux battery replacement which plain and simple just is not worth the cost. Those batteries cost more than a years worth of savings in fuel not to mention the hassle of having it go off all the time.

Thanks in advance.

No way that I know of. I too have a 2015 Malibu. I have learned to keep a light pressure on the brake when stopping, which keeps the auto-stop from activating 90 percent of the time and saves my brakes lots of wear and tear. I really hate the power ports that don't allow you to charge things when the key is not in the ignition switch too.

You can bypass the auto-stop in two ways. Put the tranny in manual mode or in neutral before you stop works, and at long red lights, I put it in neutral anyhow, since I see no reason to waste gas and have the tranny in gear.
