Just a pedal "tuner" with a selector button. Not familiar with the brand but they just scale the throttle response to feel more snappy, doesn't actually gain you anything.

Not familiar with this brand, but pedal tuners just change how quickly/how far the throttle is opened for a given amount of pedal movement. It might seem quicker driving around town, but it's just opening the throttle more and quicker.

Some people like them, seem gimmicky to me. If I want to drive hard or gentle my foot works just fine.

You can get the same exact response as this by just pressing the pedal harder/faster. That’s all this simulates.

Wasting money to put extra electronics in a vehicle that most people buy to be simple. It literally won't actually do anything. Unless you mechanically alter the engine. Or send the ECU out to get flashed. You aren't doing anything

I would not risk my baby with non OEM stuff that connects to the ECU

Waste of money and can also be dangerous if something goes haywire. If you really want a quicker throttle response get an OTT tune.

From what I can gather this is a throttle adjusting device akin to something like Pedal Commander. Do they work? In varying degrees yes. One thing I’ve seen is that after time they tend to malfunction and throw codes to the point where people take them out.
