How does this product work?
The Pedal Commander # PC-18BT is a plug and play device that intercepts the electronic signal that your accelerator pedal sends to the Engine Control Unit (ECU). It then alters the signal to allow for more rapid engine acceleration which in turns provides you with better vehicle acceleration. Modern trucks and SUV's utilize "fly by wire" throttles that don't have a direct mechanical connection to the carburetor or throttle body like older vehicles. To make acceleration smoother the factory engineers will program the computer system to provide a very lazy acceleration profile. While this does provide a level of comfort it can cause your vehicle to feel slow and sluggish. If you want to wake up your modern truck or SUV without actually installing potentially warranty voiding power adders the Pedal Commander is your best option. The vehicle still makes the same amount of horsepower and torque as before but you get the feeling that ALL of that power is available right NOW instead of waiting for the factory ECU to slowly deliver it over time. This results in a MUCH more enjoyable vehicle to drive... and it won't void your warranty!

How easy is installation?
In a word, easy! Each Pedal Commander PC-18BT is custom built for use with specific vehicles. Vehicle specific wiring harness and programming is included. Installation takes about 10 minutes and usually requires no tools. A flashlight and a good set of glasses may be helpful if your eyes aren't as great as they used to be. The basic installation goes something like this... turn the ignition off and remove the key and let the vehicle sit for a minimum of 5 minutes. This allows the computer systems and accessories to power down completely. If your vehicle is equipped with a keyless entry remote make sure that it is located well outside of its operating range. These remote keys can cause the factory computer systems to activate even though the ignition is in the off position. Failure to follow these basic steps can cause problems after the Pedal Commander is installed. The next step is to disconnect the factory wiring plug at the accelerator. You then connect the factory wiring to the Pedal Commander and connect the wiring harness coming out of the Pedal Commander directly to the accelerator. That's it, the device is now installed!
