Well I know there is interest! While visiting other FCA forums I have found that this is a major request that people have with there v6 engines.
First, if the mods want to move this thread please do so. I posted here as I know this has been a subject throughout various threads (disabling stop start) regarding the 2016+ v6 grand cherokees
A little background on myself, I am programmer by trade in the commercial/industrial industry for HVAC, electrical, security Etc.... Another large part of my field of work is information technology.
I have two versions in mind of how i could do it. I will not explain the details but there would be no wiring integrated with your vehicle. Both versions would have a button that overlays onto your existing disable SS that presses it for you when the time is right. In the end this add-on button would be no more thicker than a pencil and would not be some ugly thing in your car. The ring shaped housing could be made of anything ...plastic, metals like polished stainless, mokume, Tamascus, Damascus..lots of options and I know a few people that work with these materials with cnc machines.
They would be self powering with optional battery backup. Completely wireless is possible between the transmitter/receiver(button). The transmitter in both wireless/wired would be about the size of a pack of ciggerates and you could mount it anywhere.
I think I am going to try making one up no matter what as a little side project. Anyone want to try one if I do? I don't have a SS vehicle so I can't . It would be a coupe months or so before I get a test version ready.
