Anyone using BMS Pedal Tuner ?

[CoconutRob]

Never remember my car being clunky but it is smoother on and off the throttle at all speeds with the tuner in place. Unfortunately it is now much easier to unwittingly cruise at 80+. Needless to say I highly recommend it, especially for the 2.0.

When I say clunky maybe jerky only in that smart cruise situation.

FYI - You can get the same thing from Windbooster for less $$

Or use Kato’s 15% off and get the newer Bluetooth version as above.

Thanks for the shout. Note: the code works for any of their controllers.

There isn't much documentation on these controllers, what do they actually do? Is there any more in depth information about what the modes actually do and such?

Read this. Different product, same result.

Yes. The work. They basically improve pedal response which helps reduce the feeling of lag prone to drive by wire cars. They all do the same basic thing, but some have a lot of extra cool features

Just put in an order.

I have the BMS pedal tuner and I leave it on Stage 1. Before I installed this, I was always in Sport mode, but now I can be in Comfort mode and still feel sporty while also saving much more gas than I did before. When I switch to sport mode while on Stage 1, I am faster off the line. I don't bother with stage 2 or stage 3 because holy crap. I highly recommend... I also have BMS CAI, BMS OCC, racechip GTS, and Denso IKH27 2 step colder spark plugs.

I also have it double sided taped under the start stop button for quick and easy access

3 min tops to install and honestly you don't even need to remove the pedal. Man oh man was this thing worth it! This should be on every Stinger out there. Makes a great car even more fun.

I have the BMS pedal tuner and it shows the mode in colors, white, green, amber and red. I am color blind, there are different variations of color blindness of which red/green is the most common which I have, so I can't tell what mode I'm in. I have to cycle through about 3 or 4 times to get a good guess of what mode I'm in.

Just installed mine yesterday and it feels great. Now I don't have to always run the car in Sport mode to have fun. Been switching between Stage 1 +3 and Stage 2 +0 to find the perfect feel. Curious though, what settings do you guys have on this?

I switch between the same two exact settings. Lol. Nice.

Sorry that's just how it works. Maybe can count the button presses based on light intensity.

I would think a developer/manufacturer could easily program an audible tone/pulse for each mode on their cell phone app...

A plug-in module could have a PCB mounted audio driver/mini speaker too.

But there most likely isn't a huge demand for audible beeps/tones. Sucks man...

yep, it’s snake oil. If you want to go faster and have better “pedal feel” push the peddle down. ‍Have us Americans become so lazy that we need a device to push the pedal down and extra inch for us? smh

Actually you're wrong it's not "snake oil" as you put it, pushing the pedal down harder is not the same as installing one of these. This removes the delay that the car has because it uses drive-by-wire throttle control. You can slam your foot to the floor next to the guy using one of these and he will still pull away from the light more quickly, will it add hp? No, but it will decrease throttle lag and you will get an instant response from the cars go pedal to accelerate when you need it.

Ever try to put away from a stop sign to merge quickly and the car feels like it's taking forever to react? Well this erases that hesitation.

Nope.I know how to put my foot down and get the car moving.

Some of y’all are woefully misinformed about what throttle response controllers do. As stated earlier, it is a bit more complex than just being a device that replaces a heavier foot.
