I bought the wire harness kit to bypass the stupid-ass idle stop feature 2 years ago. Haven’t had to push the button since. https://a.co/d/0bAszUCu
Install one of these inline with the switch to automatically "press it" on vehicle start. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK56VQ38 To install it you unscrew 2 screws by the wireless charger. That then comes up exposing more & eventual access to the buttons wire harness. With it installed, the feature is now opt-in instead of opt-out. I now strategically press it for drive-thrus & stoplights i know take minutes. I wish Honda gave more control over the feature. I would love to shut the motor down for carwashes. For drive-thrus its so inconsistent . Like it'll shut down when you first get there or after ordering & joining the queue, but after you creep forward 1 position it annoyingly never seems to shut off again except on the rarest of occasions. I sometimes actually shut it off (i installed a mod to keep the radio/accessories on until driver door open or 10min) but i noticed it never starts up as quick as it would coming from idle-off & also requires me to shift in drive again; it's just not as convenient.
