Pedal Commander - Where do you have it installed & what setting do you use?

[edgesalon]

have the BT version installed under the kick panel by E-break City +2 or 3 works great

 

[catchx46]

I have mine tucked away under the steering column. I have it on city +3 but may change it back to sport +1

 

[plummerg]

It’s been over a year now and I’m settled on City -3. Seems be nice subtle improvement over stock.

Inside the glove compartment, set to city +2 for 3 years now. Love it.

Pedal commander install

Hello

I just received this today. After a 5 min install I have to say yes I agree. It makes for a huge difference in response. Very noticeable. Right now I have it in sport +2. Might go and try city +2 in a few days.

See my install next to and above the gas pedal. Might throw a plastic bag above it. But it’s good for now.

Happy wheeling!

City -1 here. Stuck beneath the steering column. Everyone who drives my truck now is caught off guard by how "touchy" the throttle is. No more deadzone!

i finally figured it out sometime last year the difference between the settings that a lot of people dont talk about.

eco is self explanatory but city, sport and sport+ are not. city will increase the throttle response to first half pedal depress at a higher rate than the last half of pedal depress. sport will also increase the throttle response to first half pedal depress but not as much as city and the last half of pedal depress will increase the throttle response at a higher rate. sport+ combines both city and sport where the entire pedal range increases throttle response. for this reason i think most people will actually prefer sport over city because city mode "lurches" too much.

Well...now I have to do some more testing with sport. Thanks for sharing this!

city lurches or lunges? it sounds like city is boosted while sport is less boosted during initial 1/2 of pedal.

I didnt realize pedal commander worked in this manner. This is what i was searching for awihle.

Does sprint booster do this too? Does it behave variably the first 50% pedal and last 50% pedal?

yea i think lunges is a better word or jumpy. i learned about this when i installed in on my gx460 where you can really feel the difference because of the higher torque. city mode felt a bit "jumpy" on first depress of the pedal so i changed to sport and the "jumpiness" went away. after i tested all the modes i realized how pc works. i am unsure if sprint booster works the same way.

 

[dflowerz]

Thanks for that insight! I also feel that city is a bit jerky so will try sport mode.

Really appreciate the product evaluation. I linked the user manual above. City and sport mode in the user manual chart shows the opposite of what youre saying about city/sport modes. Not doubting your evaluation as things on paper dont always equate to real world results.

gosh i really wish there was a mode that mimic'd oem pedal up to the first 50% then go very aggressive the last 50% of the pedal. The frustrating part for me is when you mash down the pedal and the damn 4runner makes the slowest downshift in the world.

yea every thing i said goes against the literature but real world results are different. i thought i was going crazy too but being able to change the settings from stop light to stop light helped me figure it out. it also helps that the gx has more torque to really feel the difference.

City -2 for me. Eco on the highway.

Glove Box Installation PC

Could someone please post a photo of the glove box installation?

Thanks.

 

[Blue109]

Just leave mine laying in front of the gauge cluster lol. Sport +3 most of the time and I shut it off when I hit the dirt.

Anybody using this while towing. I often tow a travel trailer @ 3,750 lb. I'm thinking of installing one, but haven't heard from anyone who uses one while towing. Thanks.

I know this is an old thread, but just had to say thanks. Recently purchased PC and was disappointed in it bc of the lurching in city mode. Changed to sport and very satisfied now. Thanks!

Hid mine inside the center console. I use the app if I want to change settings.
