There's another player "Pedal Max" out of FL which I have used in the past on my 16 Focus and 18 EcoSport. It included a (detachable) dial to adjust the sensitivity (which I never used). Im not happy with this cable and button pad, Im going to return it and order a Pedal Max on Monday.

Do you know if the one www.stage3motorsports.com is the same as the one you have?Also can you show a picture of where you have it located in your BS Thanks?
You'll have to forgive me I'm a little sloppy with my self installs and explanations compared to a lot of the people on this forum. I removed the screw under this flap here ziptied the wire so it was secure and slid the controller behind that plastic panel so it's hidden. I use it through the wifi on my phone.

Let us know what you think! I'm certain most of these throttle controllers are mostly the same as far as what they do. I only went with pedal commander because it was recommended by a friend and gifted to me.

Well that’s one opinion but other than they all command the pedal .. in my opinion, there are definitely product differences… see the video in Post #21 assuming the video is reasonably accurate

I assume the companies are in a pissing match and trying to sell their product. I researched it throughly before I installed it and found zero negative feedback. I should add. Zero negative feedback from anyone who actually has one.

Exactly. Like I mentioned above, naturally these competitors are going to raise a ruckus about each others' products. The Pedal Commander has been out there for years and they are still selling. That alone tells a story. I imagine some (many?) of the troubles, gripes and issues noted by Gale Banks in his video, only tell part of each story. How many of those cars with such a tuner, were already damaged somehow and/or running a PCM tune on top of everything? For me, that's one thing I'd absolutely never do (run a throttle tuner on a car which also has a PCM tune in place). But I'm sure some have done it :D

Yes, the wire is long enough to put almost anywhere you can reach it.

I've used the "Pedal Max" from JMS Chip out of Florida in my 2016 Focus, then my 2018 EcoSport, now in my 2021 BS. Not as jumpy as the Pedal Commander, similar results, similar price. Never had any code issues with my previous two vehicles, I don't imagine I will with my BS. I don't use the dial control that comes with it and it tucks neatly behind the console, so I returned the Pedal Commander. Win-win-win

Update after a couple days with the Pedal Monster: Still happy with it, though I did turn it up to Sport +8 to make it more aggressive like the Pedal Commander was. My MPG for this tank of gas, had been creeping up to 17.4. Now it's back down to 17 :)

Only issue I've seen is today. The app locked up on my iPhone. The gadget was still working, making the throttle better like before. But I couldn't change modes or mode levels; and the throttle indicator was dead in the app. I fixed it all by rebooting my phone, and now is all good again.

Thanks for the Link now IIRC some of the guys on here say it doesn't improve acceleration but in the link above it says this one does?Can you post a picture of it tucked behind the console?Thanks

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 have a console so no!!I just thought a picture of it behind the console would be nice to see how you tucked it in there but if that's to much to ask never mind!!
