Anyone Try A Throttle Controller?

They do work, and its awesome. It takes the electronic lag away completely that all drive by wire cars have.

I agree 100%!

Indeed, that's the basic principle. However, it is no sham product and it is not the same as pressing the pedal faster.
Many cars, especially SUVs, have a built in throttle lag. It makes tha car easier to drive for the middle of the road driver and helps saving fuel in stop and go traffic. You can't remove the throttle lag by pressing the gas pedal faster.
To be honest, the Kia Stinger is already quite responsive in Sport mode. However, if you want it to be even more responsive, the XLR does a good job. You can also make the other driving modes more responsive.

I know these words won't convince you, but what about testing the product? We can send you one, so you can test it and decide whether you still think it is sham. Write me a PM if you are interested. (of course we would need a deposit).


It will not "wear off quickly", but you'll get used to it. When you then lower the setting of the throttle controller you won't believe how boring your car in stock condition is. (maybe not the Stinger in sport mode, but generally speaking)
By the way, the XLR is the only throttle controller worldwide that comes with redundant security systems. We call this system Watchdog. If anything fails, you will still get the stock throttle signal. We never had issues with our previous generation, so it is not really necessary, but it'll give you a better feeling. We did it, because it enables us to get a TÜV Vehicle Type Approval in Germany (which no other company will get).

I love the xlr! Best mod next to cold ram air intakes.

I've tried a throttle controller on a car in the past and it was a waste of money ( just something that opened the throttle faster ).

However, since everyone here has been raving about them on the Stingers, I figured I'd try one again ( and if it was no good I'd just sell it again ).

I installed it today ( Ultimate9 iDRIVE ) and took the car for a drive and WOW ! Boy does that wake a Stinger up ! ( and on a setting of only 4 out of 9 ).
I'm glad you all ( indirectly ) talked me into it !


Did I mention..... WOW !

I know nothing about the Pedal Commander...but I do have the racechips XLR. For me, it was an awesome investment and exactly what I needed for that "get up and go". It's a simple 15 minute install and works very well with the various drive modes.

After you install the race chip any lights ?? Or any error ??

It's just the XLR (throttle response), so not the racechip tuner module. But, no error lights at all with what I have.
