PEDAL COMMANDER®

FN TUNED

Eliminate Throttle Delay with Pedal Commander®

Control and customize your vehicle's throttle response for a more responsive driving experience.

Engineered for Performance

Pedal Commander® is an electronic throttle response controller that is engineered to eliminate throttle delay, which is experienced in almost all modern vehicles. It also lets you control and customize your vehicle’s throttle response.

Advanced Signal Processing

The Pedal Commander® throttle response controller removes the throttle lag by intercepting and modifying the throttle signal from the factory gas pedal sensor. It gives the engine a much quicker reaction time to your pedal inputs and enables the driver to access the engine power much faster.

Eliminate Drive-by-Wire Delay

Modern vehicles incorporate electronic throttle systems called drive-by-wire that cause an initial delay. Pedal Commander® throttle response controller comes into play right here; it eliminates this lag and provides immediate throttle feedback.

Understanding Drive-by-Wire Throttle Systems

As automotive technology evolved, almost every component and system became electronic. Throttle systems were no different, as they started to become electronically controlled in the early 2000s. Nowadays, nearly all new vehicles utilize electronic throttle control systems (ETC), also known as drive-by-wire systems, that replace the throttle cable of the past, which physically linked the gas pedal to the throttle valve.

The Pedal Commander® throttle response controller is only compatible with vehicles that use drive-by-wire throttle systems.

Why Do I Need Pedal Commander®?

The manufacturer deliberately puts the throttle lag there. Manufacturers want to control the throttle valve to make their products cater to a very wide range of customers, and they also regulate the throttle valve because of emissions concerns. Manufacturers limit the throttle body reaction time in two ways:

1

One aspect of this limitation is how much the throttle valve opens. Even if you press the accelerator 100%, the ECU limits the throttle valve to open up to 80-90%, depending on the vehicle and application.

2

Another way is how fast the throttle valve opens. No matter how hard you press the accelerator pedal, the ECU decides how fast the butterfly valve opens. Your foot does not make any difference.

Why Do I Need Pedal Commander®?

Pedal Commander® throttle response controller solves this problem. It connects to the throttle pedal sensor and takes information from it. It compiles the signal in a high-speed control circuit, modifies it with vehicle-specific software, and sends it to the ECU. This optimization removes the factory restrictions on the throttle response. With the factory limitations removed, the engine becomes much more responsive to your gas pedal inputs.

The Pedal Commander® throttle response controller is engineered to be vehicle-specific. It comes with throttle maps specific to your vehicle and offers four driving modes: Eco, City, Sport, andSport+. Each driving mode has nine different sensitivity levels to choose from, so you get 36 individual levels for your vehicle’s throttle sensitivity. You can select modes that deliver better acceleration or fuel efficiency depending on your needs.

The Pedal Commander® throttle response controller is not only a performance upgrade. It is also a perfect additional vehicle security system with its Anti-Theft feature. After a one-time, easy setup process, Pedal Commander®’s anti-theft disables your vehicle’s gas pedal and prevents unauthorized control. Click here to learn more about Pedal Commander®’s Anti-Theft.

City Mode

City Mode

It gives you a more active throttle response and is perfect for daily driving. Many of our customers say that City mode makes their vehicle so good that it should’ve left the factory like that. It gives you the response of an "old school" throttle cable with a close to 1:1 pedal-to-throttle acceleration ratio.

*It is the recommended mode to drive in traffic.

Modern vehicles do not have a physical throttle cable like they used to. Modern cars and trucks use an electronic throttle control system (ETC). This means the car’s computer (ECU) is in control of your throttle. With electronic throttles, you no longer have complete control over how fast your throttle responds. So, you can’t just mash the pedal harder to accelerate faster.

What’s even worse is manufacturers use the “one size fits all” method to make the majority of customers happy. We thought that was Fn Ridiculous; not every driver is the same, so why should every vehicle’s throttle map be the same? This idea is how Fn Tuned was born! Fn Tuned gives you the customization you deserve by giving you complete control over the throttle mapping. With 36 sensitivity settings and an Anti-Theft mode, Fn Tuned is guaranteed to improve your vehicle's performance and security, giving you more enjoyment and peace of mind.

How Does FN Tuned Work?

Nowadays, vehicles are built with more advanced technology than they used to be. The vehicle’s computer now controls the systems that were once mechanically controlled. One of the new systems is drive-by-wire, or Electronic Throttle Control (ETC), an automotive technology that replaced the mechanical linkage connecting the accelerator pedal to the throttle. The typical drive-by-wire system has Three main components: (1) an Accelerator Pedal Model, (2) a throttle valve that opens and closes the electric motor, and (3) a powertrain/engine control system (PCM/ECM). These features allow for pedal placement flexibility, reduced weight, and help improve fuel economy. But ETCs have their limitations.

The main disadvantage of the ETC is that the pedal response time is significantly slower due to the manufacturer’s settings. The ETC determines how MUCH the throttle body will open and how FAST it will open. So when you press the gas pedal down fully, some manufacturers' throttle bodies will only open to 80% and all of them will open at a speed the computer thinks is best. This is how acceleration is controlled and limited in ETC vehicles. Our engineer says it doesn’t matter how quickly you floor the gas pedal; there will still be a lag in your throttle response.

This is what Fn Tuned is built for! Fn Tuned plugs directly into the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) located on the gas pedal. Fn Tuned then takes the information from the APPS  and sends it up to 1000 times faster to the ECU and throttle body. By doing this, Fn Tuned gives you the ability to eliminate the throttle delay from your accelerator (gas pedal) and allows your engine to respond faster. The difference is Fn unbelievable!
