After considering all of the ways one could tune or enhance a car, it was apparent that throttle modulation could actually work for a Touareg TDI.I read reviews on every device out there and consulted forums way before I decided to try this device. I went into this purchase with 100% skepticism and the following is an honest review.Installation was not 15 minutes. For a Touareg, you need about 45. You must remove three parts of the dash and remove the throttle pedal as well. Plug and play harness was easy to connect. I tested the car out in eco -2 first. It made the car a dog...just like winter mode in a Volvo...it was great! I could see this being a useful addition down the line. I may even try a whole tank in eco mode to see its apparent benefit.Next mode was city +2. While it was not exactly a night and day difference, it was noticeable. The shifting By the 8 speed was finally felt like in a Range Rover or cayenne. I returned from this small test and finished installation. Test two started out with race +2. Honestly...wow. The car feels alive. Who would have thought that over sampling the pedal output would have such an effect. The TDI ROARS to life off the line. You’re nearly thrown into second gear. By the time your hit third gear...you’re already going to get a speeding ticket.I tried race +4 and noticed that the car spools up and shifts better. Sport + mode...you don’t need it. It’s just scary. Save yourself this mode for the track or off road...they were not kidding. You can launch normally with light pedal use...but any more than a 10% depression...you will be redlining in literally one second. No one needs this mode. It’s too lurchy and trigger like. It’s like driving an old school muscle car with ITBs...just a tap and pooof...you’re gone.A bit more testing and I decided that city +4 to race +2 is a nice sweet spot for lead foots. It will make your Touareg a different car. I let my other Touareg buddy try it and he literally ordered the same part within seconds of giving back my keys. It’s not that it’s “that good” it’s that it’s “that different”. Less lag, more go, less spool up time, faster shifting...all together makes that car perform...better. I can’t say you will win any drag races...but from 0 to 40...you better have a good grip and full attention...because you will be thrown back into your seat. All the power that was there is exactly the same...what is different is when you feel the changes. I concur that it mimics the feeling of Cable driven throttle...it’s quite nice.I fully recommend this for anyone that wants to feel what the Touareg can really deliver....lots of torque, really fast.

WOW is all I can say extremely satisfied!!! Finally a product that has exceeded my expectations. Thank you for providing a quality product at a budget price. The performance is unbelievable!!!

Product works as intended. Even little too much. If I would have my 4.2 A6 back than would be perfect. Now with the tank Q7 4.2 it accelerates better but this car transmission is tuned more for torque than acceleration. Plus the mpg went down a lot from already low average. Great product just car is too heavy for it. For this car not a keeper unfortunately

Works great, cant believe they haven't outlawed this for Californians.Made my Cayenne respond like a Porsche should. worst money I've ever spend, wish i had it back. just wanted the lag gone not my gas mileage wrecked down to 6mpg

Absolutely unbelievable difference when I installed this Pedal Commander on my 2012 VW Touareg! Wow! Amazing pedal response. It's like it reprograms the engine and gives you so much more power. I don't even use the Sport +. Just the regular Sport Mode is more than enough. Love it!!!

Installed pedal commander car is undrivable when unit is powered on reached out to seller and pedal commander about problem and have really gotten no meaningful response on how to fix... tried to get help with product before return window closed but unfortunately that didn't happen so im stuck with a 300.00 worthless piece of plastic

Great Product!

Works as described. Maybe even a little too good.Though I have not yet run the numbers in economy mode to see the savings.

Everything it claims.
