Designed specifically for Highlander models from 2015 through 2019, the harness installs using factory access points and includes a removal tool so you can fit it yourself in minutes.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this eliminator work with my Highlander?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BSNOVT unit intercepts the start‑stop signal at the switch location so the vehicle behaves as if the auto stop‑start feature is turned off.
