I ordered one today
I will install it and take some pictures and give some feed back.
I have three people I personally know say it's a must and two people on here and I read a ton of all positive reviews....

Not a pedal commander but I got a Hike It X9 and it is worth the price of admission. It serves the exact same purpose as the Pedal Commander. Instant throttle response with multiple settings. Car has lost all sluggishness and is a joy to drive.

I keep mine set on auto and it is a vast difference from stock. I figure Pedal Commander is the same, just twice the cost of the Hike It.

 

Camry hybrid doesn't seem to have the same lag as Accord hybrid. I floored it from a roll and no hesitation. And that in normal not even spot mode. I'll play with it some more this week

 

The hybrids and known to have very little hesitation as they are a different set up throttle wise. Cause hybrid.

 

I have PC on my Lexus GX460 - heavy car - and it works well. It pretty much removes the lag on the car and if you have a heavy foot, it will feel very snappy.

One thing I wish PC has is the ability to turn it off (cut off the accelerator) completely to prevent thief.

 

I believe one of the does. I know one has a valet mode for certain that limits throttle opening.

 

Look what I got
It's a lot smaller then I thought.
Like all the girls on Instagram they look great in the pictures but.
OK back on topic I will install at 4pm and see how long it takes.
And I'll upload a video of my xse Ferrari.

Ok it's in now if your 6'4" 235 like me find a smaller person to do it. I felt like I was jammed in there trying to remove that plug they put the clip away from our vision lol.
OK so 5 gallons of sweat and I'll have a video later.
I have not even turned it on yet

Don't know what it's like where your at but it's 530pm here and it's about 107 outside still.

 

Wow what a world of deference.
Well worth it.

I was in comfort 9 on my Accord, what setting did you end up at?

 

After going over a speed bump dropped it to sport mode. I have a feeling it's doing more then it says.
It's almost like when I push the pedal a quarter way it's like I'm flooring it.
Now I'm saying this because my car sounds deep but it sounds like a street bike if I floor the pedal.
And I'm only a quarter way and it's like it's putting double the gasoline. Even the dry air intake is almost always growling.
It's telling the car to squirt I more fuel or its telling it I'm pushing the pedal more then I am.
I will see how the gas goes tomorrow for my work drive. And I'm curious what's gonna happen when I floor it on the freeway.

It's doing exactly what it's supposed to nothing more nothing less, especially seeing as you have it in race mode. Nothing more will happen on the freeway, since pretty much anything at half the pedal travel or more is fully opening the throttle body. It can't open any wider. Again it's simply just a signal amplifier, opening the throttle body more than is actually being requested. It's not adding any power whatsoever, but because it goes faster with less pedal input, it has the placebo effect of feeling like it's faster. Best case scenario it's a couple tenths faster during passing maneuvers because it's eliminating some lag, that's about it.

 

Basically I'm keeping it at sport 1
Its a awesome product

Ok even better on the freeway.
I'm gonna say these pedal pusher devices are well worth it for the impatient or speed driver.

I was long skeptical of the PC/iDrive/etc. Last year I got a great deal on a used PC and jumped on it, figuring that if I didn't like it, I could easily sell it and get my money back. I ended up keeping it.

The PC does improve throttle response in a different way than just telling the car you are stepping on the pedal harder than you actually are. My theory is that when you step on the pedal, the PC momentarily sends a "pedal to the floor" signal to the car (this lets the car know you are in a hurry so it responds quicker) and then immediately backs it off to however much you are actually pressing the pedal + the boost from whichever mode you are using (city, sport, etc).

For example: If I am on City mode and taking off from a stop by pressing on the gas pedal 20%, the PC might send a 100% pedal spike to the ECU, immediately followed by 30%. If I am on Sport mode, it'd send 100% immediately followed by 40%. Economy mode might be 100% followed by 10% or something.

Again, just a theory based on what I've noticed with it. Whenever I feel like my pedal is laggy, I temporarily turn off the PC and can quickly notice the difference.

There is no magic solution that will make the Camry drive and shift like a sports car, but there are small improvements you can make that can add up. Doing a big-3 electrical upgrade helped with throttle response. Driving around in S8 instead of D is another "trick" that can make the car a bit more responsive and sportier to drive by holding gears a little longer than in drive.

 

My theory is that when you step on the pedal, the PC momentarily sends a "pedal to the floor" signal to the car (this lets the car know you are in a hurry so it responds quicker) and then immediately backs it off to however much you are actually pressing the pedal + the boost from whichever mode you are using (city, sport, etc).

That's an interesting theory and one I tend to agree with. There's no other reason why the controller should get rid of that much lag from a roll. Also with the new controller it seemed to maintain a one-to-one ratio with the accelerator, until you put in in sport mode.

 

Installed the Pedal Commander a few days ago and I love it!! Best mod for my 4 Runner to date. It reminds me of the dynamic driving modes in my C43 AMG. I can change the driving modes based on my mood.

 

Does your mpg suffer?

 

So far my mpg remains constant. City 30%/Highway 70%, I’m averaging 20mpg. I started with City+4 and found it a little too aggressive so I’ve dialed it back to City+2.

 

I may try one in a little from AliExpress. I don't have any lag in this vehicle because the system immediately puts some sort of power to the wheels instantly from the hybrid system when flooring it from a roll. I do believe however there is some lag in how quickly the ICE responds. For the $35 it will cost me can't hurt to try. Can always return it.

 

Ordered one today will see how it does with the hybrid......

Did u get that yet?
I could of saved 300.00
If that works as good as the commander

This is the one I got. It has 4 driving modes and 36 settings. I keep it on "auto" mode and it makes a world of difference. It completely eliminates the transmission gear hunting that plagues a lot of Camry owners and provides a nice, responsive throttle. Plus it's half the cost of a pedal commander.

HIKE IT-X9 Premium Vehicle Specific Pedal Controller with 4 Driving Modes

 

What are the 4 pre programmed modes called?

 

How does this automatic mode work as well? Just guesses where you want?

 

Mine should be here in a couple more days.

 

Razzum frazzum plug is slightly off need to find a different one ugh. It's really weird you can see it's slightly off but the stock plug fit into the male portion no problem! I'll stick with it and update....

 

I'm a big guy that part was a night mare for me I was like a alligator doing rolls in there trying to pull that little clicker hahhaaah

Drive it like you purchased it and got the money to buy a new one...

 

Ok so I was sent the KA-898 version, and confirmed fitment beforehand. Apparently what's needed it the KA-852 plug which is slightly different. If you study the pics closely you can see the differences between the two. I found a few that work will post them tomorrow. The store has the 852 plugs so I'm trying to get them to just send me the correct plug.

 

So they're either sending me.a whole new unit or just the proper plugs, either way I have to wait another few weeks looks like. This one will ship faster though because I'm not cancelling the dispute until they ship the new one. This one took them over a week to ship. I will say this module is super tiny. Like 2/3 smaller than the older version from a year or so ago.

Well that must be frustrating but glad you have a fix working. Mine is about that size. You bought from AE right? Def update with results.

 

Yes AE.

 

I'm definitely considering one of the no-name PC's like the 9-Drive you bought @Vegashybrid... how are the buttons on it / is it built decently or do they feel cheap like after switching modes a few times they may break?

Its hard to tell from the online pics... certainly I'd prefer to pay <$100 for no name PC versus $300 for PC

 

The buttons are solid and device works well. Like I said I had the same companies unit on my Accord hybrid, just the older version. This is not a very sophisticated piece of equipment here is a simple signal amplifier.
