Pedal Commander - Where do you have it installed & what setting do you use?
What settings do you have yours at? I've played around in City and Sport mode. So far I have it at Sport -3. It feels like it gives me the proper response without being too overly aggressive. I started with City +2 which some people suggested but it felt too jerky.
In a rush, I have it installed like this. I saw some people install it in the glove box so I may try when I have some time.

I've been using sport +1 and like the responsiveness that gives me..very little input needed on the pedal.

Having the BT version, I found that I did not need access to the controls, so I have mine hidden under the dash area.

Mounted behind the steering wheel and ran the wires behind the dash panel.
Might go bluetooth so I can have it hidden behind the dash panels for a more clean install.

LOL, mine is still just sitting between the steering wheel and the dash piece from when I put it in, early this year. I run it at City mode, but not sure if I have any + or - settings in it.
One day earlier this year I had it on the highest setting, and chirped the tires in reverse backing out from work, and wondered what the hell just happened. I realized I'd bumped the settings on it, and put it back to City mode...

I love how responsive it is now. I can now keep up with traffic and close gaps with ease to prevent cars from cutting me off.
I know some people without the Pedal Commander say just press the gas harder and it will accomplish the same. But it seems like it also makes the throttle react quicker with some kind of signal conditioning. Before installing it I would press hard and it took a while for it to respond which doesn't inspire confidence when entering fast flowing traffic.

No need to keep it in plain sight with Bluetooth, so have mine located behind the driver left hand side kick panel. Simply adjust, when needed, from my phone. Started with City +1, and have since graduated to City +2.

To the right of the steering column. Yes I have the Bluetooth too but just in case the phone isn't working right and having it in quick sight to see what mode it is in is nice. Currently rocking Sport +2.

Rather than start a new thread I thought I would hop on this one.
I installed a pedal commander last week on my wife's 2014 and let me just say that it genuinely makes a night and day difference.
I hid ours under the dash near the pedal since it has bluetooth connectiviy, absolutely no need to have it in plane sight (as stated earlier) for the bluetooth to work. Hiding it in the glove box like others have done would have been my first choice, but it seemed like more work fishing the wire though than I was looking to spend at the time, where it is now works well enough.
I tried out a few settings, City +1-4 but after a road trip to visit family yesterday Sport or Sport +1 really opens up the versatility of the throttle and lets you use the power of the engine much more effectively.
Needless to say, I wish i would have bought this ages ago but am happy we have it installed now.
