Is there a gm auto stop-start disable shop in Des Moines I should use instead?
Most Des Moines shops don't keep the bench equipment for gm auto stop-start disable — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-region north — about 2 days each way.
Does Iowa vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
Iowa has no statewide periodic vehicle safety or emissions inspection program. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all Iowa and federal requirements.
Which GM vehicles are supported?
Primarily GM roughly 2014–2018 (pre-Global B) trucks and SUVs with unlocked, bench-writable ECMs — Silverado / Sierra 1500, Tahoe / Suburban / Yukon / Yukon XL, and Escalade-era models. We confirm support by VIN and ECM label before accepting the order.
Can you disable stop-start on a 2019 or newer GM?
Usually not. 2019+ GM vehicles typically use Global B ECMs, which generally cannot be done on the bench, so we do not offer this on Global B. We verify your ECM by VIN first — if yours is Global B, we will tell you up front before you ship anything.
