SSD0001 device is used for an automatic Start&Stop deactivation shortly after an ignition is turned on. It is compatible with Alfa Romeo Giulia 2016+ and Stelvio 2017+ (2.0T & 2.2JTDM & 2.9V6 engines and AT8 & MT6 gearboxes) European and American market versions (works also in Australian and Asian spec cars). Aside of avoiding mostly redundant/wrong time engine short stop and starts (when it is not desired), it helps keeping battery state of charge higher, so allows longer battery lifetime and so limit amount of battery replaces over car lifetime (which are environmentally problematic waste). It is possible to still turn on S&S from car panel, so when you expect S&S operation may make sense in specific traffic condition, you are free to do this still any time toggling between S&S on and off.

Installation time is 1 to 3 minutes approximatelly - plug & play - no soldering, no quick junction blocks (unreliable), no reasons for warranty voids. The same easy to remove bringing the car back to as it was originally if needed.

The deactivator comes with plastic lever to ease headlights panel removal and instructions manual.

There is an USB port available in case of need of firmware upgrade (e.g. in case Alfa Romeo changes in some way how/when S&S can be disabled from panel), so STUFF4CAR can always issue update and provide upgrade file and instructions online, so every user can carry out update himeself easily within a few minutes (PC computer and mini USB cable only required).

This applies to lighweight but biger in size boxes where especially extra cushion is required for protection - like Flappy Paddles or Radio Headunits. Fedex International Priority service should be 1-3 working days for deliveries within EU, and 2-6 days in other destinations, other services may add a few extra days on top..

Please provide accurate and full shipping address (including accurate post code), fail to do this may raise difficulties in delivery, as well as generate addtional shipping charges you may need to cover (e.g. redirection of shippment).

Asian customers, please provide address using latin characters - we can't order courier otherwise and will need to cancel order if proper format address is not provided.

Please order to location where delivery is possible, fail of 2 delivery attempts puts parcel on storage for a few days in courier depot (still chance of arranging collection by contacting Fedex Customer Support by receiver - we can't help here unfortunatelly), but later the parcel is automatically returned.
