Looking over several forums even those outside Acura to see what can be done to disable the idle stop function. One solution I saw ( WHICH I DO NOT RECOMMEND ) was to remove the fuse for the idle stop function. Although that did make me curious to check if there is such a fuse - and looking at the manuals there are two fuses labeled as such - both 30-AMP fuses. Not sure why two fuses for one function - unless they have one before going to the switch in center console and one going to the sensors on when it should be engaged.

I am not sure what would happen if you removed them ? Disable Auto Stop - Disable car ? or something else ?
I find it annoying as ****, have now settled into a routine of disabling it everytime I release parking brake to drive the car! I even asked the AcuraLink guys about it and they said it can't be disabled. Maybe in a software patch down the road?
I could not agree more. The idea that this is the default is asinine. This is all about creating an environment where the driver is just along for the ride. I am in the market for a car and that irritating mechanism is limiting my options when it comes to acura. I do not like it when car companies make cars for idiots, and use nonsense like "fule economy" to justify these acts, when such an act like "engine turn off when idle" would reduce fule economy nearly NOT AT ALL. So, for a near zero improvement in fuel economy I have to press the stupid button every time I get into the car?
