This feature was making me hate my XT5, but with a simple $188 purchase it is no longer an issue.
Found on Amazon and got it in 3 days, but can be purchased elsewhere. Took 10 seconds to plug it in and it is done.

Anyone know if this will work on the 2021 XT5 V6 as well? I would assume so but you know what happens when you assume…

This device (I read this somewhere) makes the car think the engine hood has been opened and shut while the car is running, making it go into a service mode that disables the Auto/Stop feature each time you start the vehicle. That said, it should work with the V6, but after reading your query I realized you asked about a 2021. I would contact the manufacturer for sure.
Unplugging it returns the vehicle to normal, but why? I am loving this thing and this vehicle now.

Thanks Hal. I sent an email to Range Technology; we’ll see if I get a reply. ( I agree. That auto stop/start is absolutely annoying!)

Mr. Hal, I read a comment somewhere that if you leave the RA005B plugged in but don’t start the car for a few days, the battery may be drained enough so that the car won’t start. Can you confirm or do you run everyday so it’s not an issue?

My 2019 XT5 never sits for more than 3 days. No issues thus far though.
