    @HornFrog and I had the pleasure of meeting the folks at iDrive USA this past weekend at a local show here and they gave us a good spiel on why their product is superior to others.

    Has anyone else used this particular throttle response controller?
    I'm curious to hear some real world feedback, because until I saw this one I was set on the the pedal commander.

    My positive takeaways on this vs others:

    • Smaller dash unit
    • Simpler interface
    • Adaptive setting that self-adjusts based on pedal input
    • Interchangeable colored faceplates
    • I was told that service after the sale is leaps and bounds better with these guys but I dont have any firsthand experience to vet that



    Let me know what you all think.

    Interesting, seems very similar to PC, but has an auto mode.
    Price?

    I would verify compatibility with Left hand drive vehicles and if tested in our hemisphere, could work oppositely ....... LOL

    The parent company (and only YouTube channel) is in Australia but I talked to the US team at the show.

    They have a $229 MSRP

    $229 on website, non BT PC similar price. 3 modes plus normal, PC has 4 modes, off is normal. Probably works fine, would be interested in how the Auto works out.

    Can't hurt to try for 30 days. Report back!
