    Frequently asked questions

    How easy are Throttle Controllers to install?

    Our Throttle Controller range is very easy to install!

    They are developed as a plug & play product, requiring no tools or modifications and takes no longer than 15 minutes to install.

    With plugs designed to suit OEM specifications, it's as simple as unplugging the throttle pedal's plug, securing the controller into the pedal, and then clipping the factory plug back into the top of the controller.

    Once the controller is fitted, all that's left is to find a location on your dash to place the driver interface!
    *We suggest positioning the screen so that the brightness of the LED display does not distract the driver.*


    Click here for an overview of installation!

    Are Throttle Controllers safe to use?

    Yes! Our Throttle Controllers are 100% safe to use.

    As part of development, we test the controllers to ensure they do not override or impede any vehicle safety features. Each controller is also then subject to a quality control test before packaging.

    Controllers developed for newly released vehicles are also stringently tested before their release to ensure optimal performance & compatibility.

    Once that's all said and done, we further support our Throttle Controllers by backing them with a lifetime replacement warranty & 30-day money-back guarantee. So you have confidence & peace of mind in your purchase.

    Can Throttle Controllers be used with other performance products?

    Absolutely! In fact, our Throttle Controllers are a great compliment to many aftermarket performance modifications.

    Performance mods such as ECU Tune, Dyno Tune, ECU Remap, Power Chip or ECU Reflash focus on many parameters outside your throttle pedal response. Parameters like fuel injection, ignition timing, boost pressure, etc. And, while some tuners also include pedal mapping in their services, it is also often non-adjustable.

    The true benefit of our Throttle Controllers lies in their adjustability. Their adjustability lets you better control the influence & effectiveness of your other performance modifications.

    A perfect example of this is if your Tune/Chip/Remap may be too aggressive, like driving off-road or in wet conditions. With a Throttle Controller installed, now you can subdue your throttle response and have far more control over the power to your wheels.

    Alternatively, if you have the power but suffer from lag or means to access your optimal power range, the controller can enhance your throttle response!

    Are Throttle Controllers good for towing?

    "The difference it makes in Towing is absolutely unbelievable."

    - Shaun Whale (4WD 24/7 Presenter & Offroad Legend)

    Towing benefits greatly from our Throttle Controllers, offering the ideal throttle response for just about any Towing situation.

    Enhancing your throttle response helps to alleviate low down lag & drag, improving your take off. With a setting like Ultimate Mode, you'll be able to speed more quickly & efficiently - improving the overall driveability of your vehicle whilst towing.

    Likewise, subduing your throttle response in Eco Mode conveniently affords you far more control of your throttle, great for low-speed towing manoeuvres where you don't want to jerk or jar the throttle - potentially overcorrecting yourself.

    See what our Ambassador Shaun Whale has to say about our controller & Towing here!

    Why can't I just push my pedal harder?

    Your factory pedal has set parameters or bounds. These parameters can't be overridden by physical input, i.e. pushing your foot harder, faster or further.

    It doesn't matter how fast or far you push your pedal - the factory parameters will deliver the throttle response previously defined. The only way to alter the response is to electronically override it with new throttle parameters, achieved by fitting one of our Throttle Controllers.

    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.

    Likewise, with a controller in Eco Mode, we are introducing a subdued throttle curve, dampening your throttle response below factory parameters. Something that can not be replicated by your foot, no matter how lightly you ease on the throttle.

    While our Throttle Controllers don't add top-end horsepower, it does improve acceleration ramp up power, the amount of accessible power when you plant your foot at either a stopped or rolling takeoff.

    I'm experiencing an issue or am having trouble connecting the device to the app.

    A common cause for connection issues between apps and relevant devices can be traced back to location services being disabled. These services might have been disabled either in the application during installation or in the phone's general settings.

    To resolve this:

    1. Find the app you wish to use in your phone's SETTINGS menu.
    2. Find the LOCATION setting within the settings > [App] menu and make sure to enable or allow this setting.
    3. If this did not resolve your issue, check that your phone's overall location services are also on.
    Why do location services have to be enabled when Bluetooth is enabled?

    While some applications do not require your location to function, they will require MAC addresses (Media Access Control). The MAC unique identifier is used to confirm the app is communicating with the correct device, i.e. your evcX Throttle Controller.

    When location services are disabled, this can prevent apps from accessing a device's MAC identifier to communicate the correct information.

    • Intermittently flashing of check engine light for no apparent reason.

    Will a throttle controller damage an ECU? ›

    Electronic Throttle Controller can't interfere ECU of the car. Shadow electronic throttle controller uses the throttle signal to change the throttle response time and accelerate the vehicle forward. You can feel the power changes by lightly stepping on the accelerator in these five function modes.

    What is the truth about throttle controllers? ›

    Throttle Controllers Only Increase Fuel Consumption

    By enhancing throttle response and reducing lag, drivers can optimize their driving habits, resulting in less aggressive acceleration and smoother transitions, which can positively impact fuel economy.

    Is it safe to drive with electronic throttle control? ›

    Driving with a flashing electronic throttle control light can cause further damage to the vehicle's engine and other internal parts, and may be a safety hazard for drivers.

    How hard is it to install a throttle controller? ›

    Are pedal commanders bad for your car? ›

    Due to the fact that it doesn't interfere with the fuel system, this connection style prevents your engine from overheating. Additionally, since you won't be removing anything connected to the engine or its ECU, your warranty won't be voided. If so, the answer to the question is "yes," and you can use it in your car.

    Do throttle controllers improve 0-60? ›

    No, you can go 0 to 60 faster with a tune than you can with a throttle controller.

    Do throttle controllers void the car warranty? ›

    The EVC Throttle Controller does not automatically void your warranty, and we actually have many dealerships that sell our EVC Throttle Controller as an optional extra. The EVC Throttle Controller will only ever impact your warranty if it is deemed to have caused the issue that you are seeking warranty on.

    What happens when your electronic throttle control goes out? ›

    This will cause the vehicle to go into a limp mode and power reduction. You have two options in this situation you can either replace the throttle body and perform a relearn calibration. Or you can disconnect the battery And reconnect it allowing the faults to clear.

    How important is throttle control? ›

    Throttle control is a vital mechanism within an engine's management system, directly influencing the engine's power output by regulating the air-fuel mixture supplied to it.

    How do I clear my electronic throttle control? ›

    Turn the key to “ON,” but do not start the vehicle. Do not touch the gas pedal yet. Wait three seconds and then press the gas pedal firmly to the floor five times in a row, completely releasing the pedal each time. This must happen within five seconds.

    What are the benefits of a throttle response controller? ›

    Benefits of a Throttle Response Controller
    • Improved fuel consumption in eco mode.
    • Enhanced throttle response and faster acceleration in race mode.
    • Easy installation and compatibility with most vehicles.
    • Potential increase in horsepower and overall vehicle performance.
    Jan 19, 2024

    Does a throttle response controller make your car faster? ›

    It improves acceleration for all vehicles with an electronic gas pedal. It catches the signal between accelerator pedal and control unit. Instead of the manufacturer's signal, the PedalBox sends a modified signal to the control unit, helping it to eliminate any lag or time delay when accelerating.

    Does iDRIVE give you more power? ›

    First up, no, an iDrive doesn't give you more power, it's a throttle controller.

    Do throttle controllers reduce lag? ›

    Throttle controllers greatly improve towing experiences by providing the ideal throttle response for any situation. Enhancing your throttle response can reduce low-down lag and drag, resulting in better take-off.
