Btw, I have an Optima yellow top in there, so I'm cooking up a DC-DC converter disable.

Another great idea Robert, a few questions;
1.When cruising at night, does this tend to drain the HV battery?
2. Any effects on the auto-stop?
3. Will the car restart automatically if the voltage drops below the IMA preset level?
4. Any luck with the idle air circuit?
Thanks
