2024-2026 Subaru Impreza Auto Start Stop Memory Module | Fused Multi-Pin Harness
Description
2024-2026 Subaru Impreza Auto Start Stop Memory Module
The 2024-generation Subaru Impreza handles Auto Start-Stop differently from many vehicles that use a dedicated physical OFF button.
Subaru's documentation shows that the system can be switched on or off through the Center Information Display, while the vehicle returns Auto Start-Stop to its normal ON state after the vehicle has been shut down.
For an Impreza driver who normally prefers Auto Start-Stop disabled, that means revisiting the control after another startup.
The Recontrol-X memory module is designed to reduce that repetitive process by restoring the preferred Start-Stop state automatically.
A Better Match for the Impreza's Display-Based Control
This is one of the key differences between this product and earlier Ford or Nissan applications.
The Impreza uses its center display as part of the Auto Start-Stop control interface. Subaru's 2025 quick-reference information likewise describes Auto Start-Stop among the vehicle functions that can be controlled through the Center Information Display.
That makes the everyday customer problem different:
it is not simply reaching down and pressing a physical A-OFF switch—the driver may need to interact with the vehicle display again after a restart.
The memory module is therefore particularly useful for owners who consistently prefer the same Start-Stop state.
Fused Multi-Pin Harness Design
The supplied module uses a substantially different architecture from the short two-connector A-OFF harnesses found on many other vehicles.
The assembly includes:
- Large multi-pin factory-style connectors
- Separate electronic memory/control module
- Replaceable inline blade fuse
- Wrapped automotive harness
- Trim-removal tool
- Cable ties for secure routing
The fuse is an important physical feature of this version.
It provides a serviceable protection point in the module's electrical path. If the fuse opens, the correct replacement fuse can be installed rather than replacing the complete harness.
Always replace it with the specified fuse type and rating—never substitute a higher-rated fuse.
No Permanent Vehicle Programming
This product should be described as a memory/eliminator module, not a permanent ECU delete.
Comparable 2024-2026 Impreza products are specifically designed to restore the driver's Auto Start-Stop preference without rewriting factory vehicle programming, while preserving normal use of the system when required.
That provides three useful advantages:
- Preferred Start-Stop state can be restored automatically
- Factory Auto Start-Stop functionality remains available
- The hardware installation can be removed later
Connector-Based and Reversible Installation
The module uses matching multi-pin connectors rather than requiring individual wires to be cut or spliced.
The original wiring remains intact, and the module sits inline in the appropriate vehicle circuit.
Some established 2024-2026 Impreza eliminators connect through the vehicle network near the overhead EyeSight stereo-camera area. Because different manufacturers can use different harness architectures, however, customers should follow the installation instructions supplied for this exact product rather than assuming another brand's video uses the identical connection point.
That distinction prevents one of the most common installation mistakes: using instructions for a visually similar but electrically different harness.
Verified Model-Year Coverage
The supplied fitment data lists:
2024 Subaru Impreza
2025 Subaru Impreza
2026 Subaru Impreza
No separate trim or engine entries are provided.
Subaru's official 2025 brochure confirms Auto Start-Stop on the Impreza generation, while its 2026 brochure specifies the system on both the 2.0-liter Sport and 2.5-liter RS.
That supports the product's model-generation relevance, but it does not justify adding trim or engine information to your fitment table.
Before Ordering
Check that:
- The vehicle is a listed 2024-2026 Subaru Impreza.
- It is equipped with the factory Auto Start-Stop system.
- The multi-pin connector matches the product photos.
- The vehicle has not been modified in a way that changes the relevant wiring or connector.
- Installation will follow the instructions for this specific harness design.
Normal Start-Stop Behavior vs. a Vehicle Fault
Auto Start-Stop does not necessarily stop the engine every time the vehicle is stationary.
Subaru states that the system monitors vehicle and operating conditions before deciding whether an automatic engine stop is appropriate. It also uses indicator lights to distinguish normal non-operation from a detected fault.
This module is therefore intended to manage driver preference, not repair an existing Auto Start-Stop warning, wiring fault, battery problem or vehicle malfunction.

Reviews
S&Q
Does this Auto Start Stop Eliminator fit my 2024-2026 Subaru Impreza?
It is designed for listed 2024, 2025 and 2026 Subaru Impreza applications. Trim and engine coverage are not separately specified, so the best pre-purchase check is to compare the vehicle's multi-pin connector with the product photos. Subaru confirms Auto Start-Stop is used on this Impreza generation, including the 2025 lineup and 2026 Sport/RS models.
Why would I need a memory module if Auto Start-Stop can be turned off on the screen?
Subaru allows Auto Start-Stop to be turned off through the Center Information Display, but the system returns to ON after the vehicle is shut off. The memory module is intended to restore your preferred setting automatically, reducing the need to repeat the same display operation after another startup.
Will I lose the ability to use Auto Start-Stop after installation?
This is a preference-memory solution rather than a permanent software deletion. The factory Auto Start-Stop function remains available when you want to change the setting. Comparable Impreza-specific modules use the same principle and do not permanently rewrite vehicle programming.
Why does the harness include a replaceable fuse?
The inline fuse provides a serviceable protection point for the module's electrical circuit. If the fuse opens, it can be replaced separately instead of replacing the complete harness. Use only the specified fuse type and rating; installing a higher-rated fuse can defeat the intended circuit protection.
Can I use an installation video for another Subaru model?
Not automatically. Several Subaru models may use visually similar memory modules, but connector locations and installation steps can differ. Some 2024-2026 Impreza eliminators connect near the overhead EyeSight camera, while other harness designs may use different connection points. Follow the instructions supplied for the actual module and confirm every connector before installation.
