It won't be long before you can't get a new car without it. Maybe it's already here. It's part of car companies trying to meet the Clean Air Act by cutting emissions at stop lights.
I've watched a bunch of videos showing how to disable it in my Toyota Highlander. I've tried them all, usually involving a series of things like pushing the brake, honking the horn, turning the a/c off and on, and reciting the alphabet. None have worked. I still have to push the button on the dash every time I start it.
