If the throttle controller bypasses or overrides the manufacturer’s settings, can that not be a bad thing? Is it possible to push the engine too hard, too far, too often for its optimal lifetime use? Next, simply adjust the car response settings using a smart phone app. That is if you have a throttle controller that comes with a smart phone app. The good news is that ShiftPower does!

Ultimate Mode: Enhance your throttle response and choose from 9 levels of sensitivity to fine-tune your vehicle's response. With six preset settings, each with different specifications, the MechanMagic controller is perfect for daily use. You can also go off-roading with it, thanks to its ECO mode. Let’s face it; you’re a driver, not an engineer. Well, some of you could be but not the majority. So, technical support is vital. My understanding is the iDrive/HikeIT/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller sends the gearbox a signal to change gear at different timings than the manufacturer may have programmed. The automatic ones will adjust the throttle based on the driving, so leave it to the machine to take care of it. This product weighs 8 ounces only, with dimensions comparable to a power bank.

The gas pedal, throttle and the controller are all linked through a vehicle's ECU (engine control unit). There are wires that are monitored by the throttle controller. The gas pedal is like a very large dimmer switch. The throttle is controlled through an accompanying phone application which makes it easy to adjust. There are several modes below that can be set with mounted button or phone app. Installing one doesn’t actually gives any mapping or tuning of the ECU, but just the speed and the amount of input that the ECU receives from the pedal throttle controller module. Read here to learn more about ECU Remapping. The question will be, do you need one? Well, that depends on your needs. If you are looking for a real power increase modification, then you need to completely remap your ECU to unleash its full potential.

This controller offers 6 different modes; Eco, Sport, Cruise, HikeIt High Performance, Auto and Normal. Eco, Sport, Cruise and High Performance each offer 9 adjustment levels, while Auto can access all of these levels and will select based on your driving behaviour and situation and Normal will return the car to factory settings. The final throttle control we looked at is the SAAS S-Drive. This device is easy to install and requires no wiring as it is all set up for you.As a brand, ANER has quite a few automobile products. Among them, the one that stands out the most is their throttle response controllers. These controllers have an easy-to-use interface. And to complement the interface, there are plenty of functions embedded in it. Then the ECU interprets this signal. The more voltage (how hard pressed your foot on the pedal) is sent to the ECU, means more throttle input, thus increasing the RPM and your speed. A throttle controller makes driving more fun while also helping to improve safety! You no longer have to worry about pedal sensitivity being too high or too low; just set the throttle at your desired setting for a custom experience every time. x 3 x 2.3 in The EVC Throttle Controller just might keep you safer when you need your vehicle to move…fast.

Developed just for the evcX, the Ultimate9 TC App offers wireless control to eXplore its array of new modes, levels, and layouts at the touch of a screen. While making the controllers, the manufacturers kept one thing in mind. And that thing is the versatility of the controller. So one can safely use these ANER controllers almost for all models of cars. But, moreover, its functions are specialized to the vehicle you use. This is where throttle controllers comes in. To get 100% throttle signal, TC provides a different signal to the ECU, making the throttle more responsive and less delays. Acclope prides themselves on their reliability and cost-effective production. And they’ve showcased their style on the 9-Drive. With an easy-to-use interface, compact design, and various sustainable features, the Acclope 9-Drive is a solid choice for any of you out there.Some models such as the Ultimate 9 and HikeIt X9 offer an automatic mode that will select the setting based on your driving style. This removes the need to manually play with the levels and some people choose to use their throttle controller in auto mode all the time. Ease of Installation Modern throttle controllers are now equipped with bluetooth technology where you can easily configure the settings through your smart phone. Now that’s convenience for you. With a controller in Ultimate Mode, you can introduce an enhanced throttle curve, modifying the torque request sent through to the throttle tables in the ECU. This request then actuates the throttle faster, so you can get to wide open throttle at a faster rate. Adapt Mode: Take the guesswork out. Let Adapt Mode choose the best Ultimate throttle response based on your pedal input.
