I can't see it helping the life of the starter.

I cannot stand auto stop start. I programmed it out on my last F-150 that had it.

Me too. I tried to code it out of the GLK using Autel system but was unable to get it to change from active to not active.

Just hit the button on the dash after start up.

It just might be that the auto shut off starters are designed for purpose.
But this would require some thought. ![]()

That was a question I had. It would take a lot of hours of idling to make up for the cost of one new starter. As far as reducing greenhouse emissions, one would need to do some nifty research to determine how much carbon is created in manufacturing a starter.
Brian Carlton visited me in the Bay Area 6 or 7 years ago. He was doing some work at SFO on some jet engine balancing. We went out to dinner in his rental Mercedes. It would do the auto shut off and start at every stop longer than a few seconds, I forget exactly. I could barely hear it either way. At one point, he demonstrated the remarkable stopping abilities it had. A panic stop was not that far away from hitting a brick wall.

All of a sudden the car next to me, a Prius, started to move. I freaked out, not knowing whether or not my feet might be in the path of the rear wheel. I emerged unscathed, my underwear still clean, but I didn't like it.

Probably same starters as all the other applicable engines. If it is a MB starter it should be a quality unit. I would not want to put a cheap starter on one and continue to have the car do the auto start/stop thing.
