Got it fix up and wow :devil: never believe in such product actually :)

Any more to say on this? How easy was it to fit and how does it affect the car's response? Any negative issues?

Having read a few reviews and the blurb on the site it doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. The early technology was poor in that it essentially compressed the range of the pedal into shorter travel but a genuinely tuneable throttle signal sender/response sounds like a really good thing. It is effectively giving you selectable 'maps' as appear on a number of bikes these days. Not cheap though......

i like it, wife don't. Now playing with its Eco setting for linear setting. Sports not for everyday driving.

Got it used from a bud

Throttle pedals work on variable track resistors, some having 2 in opposites to compare the differences (like a double check)

The only thing this can do is make the ecu believe you've got the pedal down further than you actually do.

I think I will just press the pedal harder if I want to go quicker and save some dollar. It only makes you feel like there's a quicker throttle response because essentially it is electronically pressing the pedal further. Great way to make money though :-)

That was my understanding also on how they worked but it isn't what they claim now and although the pedal sends a simple voltage signal I believe the ECU then applies settings to what you are asking for in a way to ensure compliance with emissions etc (essentially, a map!). I suppose I'm thinking out loud (well, on paper, no actually on the keyboard, rambling now lol) but it wouldn't be too high tech to deliver different pedal response maps, tunable, to get the best out of your driving style, requirements etc.

In a manual car you wouldn't feel the benefit so much in that you would have a soft/med/hard pedal response which like you say you can achieve by moving the pedal further/faster etc. In a DSG (around which my thinking was based), I believe you would feel a greater benefit from this as the pedal response is definitely not linear when in conjunction with D mode. Having said that I won't be buying one anytime soon!
