Pedal Commander throttle controller

[BLUEOVALRACER]

The unit is hidden behind the console itself, there is nothing to see which was the point. Did you need a picture of the console?

I tucked mine behind the console as well picked a spot where it seemed like it was going to stay in place and left it there!!Damn is it cramped under that dash the worst part was unplugging the plug going to the throttle pedal everything else was quick and simple!!

I’ve been busy and had no chance to update folks here on my Banks Pedal Monster. I’m still very happy with it. New lessons learnt: 1. The long range MPG impacts have dropped to pretty much zero - even with me using an aggressive setting all the time. (I believe it’s at Sport +8). And 2. The only glitch I see generally is when I see it thinking it’s connected to the phone app but it’s not; a simple iPhone reboot solves it. Oh and 3. You cannot expect performance miracles in hot ambient conditions. This device works well at what it does (eliminating throttle lag)… but in hot Wx the powertrain controller is still gonna override everything and pull timing to protect the engine and trans. I thought a lot about this and came to peace about it. It reminded me of one reason I didn’t get a full blown tune. I do want to stay on the “safe side” of boosting performance.

After reading through this thread, I decided to purchase a PedalMax versus the Pedal Commander. Based on the posts on this thread, they're essentially the same. PedalMax was super easy to install on my 2024 OBX, and I decided to install the dial and stuck it on the panel just under the steering column. I happen to like the ability to adjust it quickly. The dial is so easy to use. Like others have posted here, it's a night and day difference in terms of eliminating the throttle lag, and the accelerator is now way more responsive especially on the freeway which is where I really needed it. After installing bigger tires, getting the RC 1.5" lift kit and adding a platform rack to my OBX, I felt like it was laboring a lot more at higher speeds than when it was just stock. After installing the PedalMax, I don't feel like it's laboring as much because it gets to those higher speeds faster and is able to maintain those speeds without as much effort. Just wanted to add my feedback to this group. Totally worth the cost.

It also worked great for Me. I traded the BS BB in for a 2025 XLT AWD 2.0 EB Maverick and left the Pedal Max go with the BS BB as I didn't know if it would work in the Maverick.

I have the same (literally) PM that I hade on my 16 Focus, 18 EcoSport and now my 21 BSBB. I learned that if you do not use the "dial", you do not get as much lag removal. Kind of a pain, I just stuffed in the small cubby ahead of the dial shifter so it's out of sight. I think I used it once when I installed it the first time in my Focus, but quickly became addicted to full tilt mode. I was kinda hoping I wouldn't need it after the tune, which did eliminate the lag a tad, but the rig is just an animal with the pair.

I bought the Banks Pedal Monster for my '24 OBX a few months ago. City +3 in normal mode is my sweet spot. Long story short, the BS is side swiped in a hit and run last week with only 2200 miles. I yanked the PM before driving it to the body shop. I hated the stock feel on that ride. The PM really does wake up the BS even with the slight adjustment. I'll never go back to stock.

My issue with the Pedal Monster is that it takes up the OBD port, which I'm already using for another purpose. Even if I wasn't, I don't like dongles with extra crap hanging out from them that require me to mount out of the way. That being said, it does appear to be a better solution than the others out there.

On that, it would be nice if mfr's added additional OBD ports in other areas of the cabin or engine compartment, as add-ons using it are becoming more prevalent.
