Are you looking at a throttle controller in your Prado? Want the added throttle modes the Kakadu gets, but buying a top spec vehicle was a bit much for the wallet?
Don't want to risk your warranty with a third party mod?
In this episode, We fit the factory Kakadu throttle controller to my VX.. will it work??
A huge thank you to subscriber Ian for loaning the part and showing me how its done! 100% I would have broken something trying myself!

Cost of the module, $83, the look on your face when you hit the sports mode...priceless. haha

@10tenadventures 11 месяцев назад

A genuine look of surprise and happiness!

@robstone4537 10 месяцев назад

I have a Kakadu, can definitely feel the difference if you want a quick getaway from the traffic lights, but with the Kakadu the main difference is it stiffens up the suspension. Big difference between wallowing along in eco on a bumpy road and driving through some twisties in sport.

@10tenadventures 10 месяцев назад

Yeah, with no KDSS the suspension won't change, but the steering definitely firmed up in sport mode.

@ianwilson7718 11 месяцев назад

Was interesting watching it back again keeping an eye on the tacho/gear changes. Sport & norm 4k & eco 3.5k

@10tenadventures 11 месяцев назад

After the 0 to 100 tests, and actual times, I reckon the main boost from sport is when already moving and accelerating... the 80 to 100 response (and 5 to 50) was really noticeable

@l_2107 8 дней назад

This video goes thru some details of the different driving modes, and seems like steering is stiffer in sports mode ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SwpJjtD82Do.html

I just placed an order on the switch for my VX after seeing your video. I imagine it’s like the Toyota factory version of an Ultimate 9 Throttle Controller with just one level for each mode instead of 9. Apart from that, I recommend driving in manual mode whenever towing and holding it in 4th gear when cruising in a 100km/h zone and only charging to 5th down a hill/slope. Also fitment of a transmission cooler and an ‘Ultragauge’ (or the like) to get an accurate transmission temp readout 👍

@10tenadventures 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Rich, that is exactly how I tow :) as for the transmission cooler, may have a review/install video in the works 😉

@rich9903 8 месяцев назад

Nice Chris … looking forward to it. I was very surprised just how hot the transmission got and also how quickly when towing my fully loaded 15ft hybrid van especially when the engine was really working (up hills etc.) I guess because of the normal constant slippage in the transmission. Have you had your whole setup weighed to determine if you’re above board? This is something I need to do soon for safety and peace of mind. I did get a 3.5T pre-rego GVM upgrade done on my VX though when I first bought it so I do have some fat in the system 🤘

@10tenadventures 8 месяцев назад

Same 3.5 GVM (Lovells maintains 3t towing allegedly) but weights video coming up soon too lol, with big reasons 😀

It should work on the 2020 model, if you have the updated 150kw engine (may work on the earlier 130kw, but not sure) there should be a link in the video description to amayama www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/8471160030

Use it a lot when towing, and if overtaking on the freeway, it comes in handy

@10tenadventures is the sport mode from throttle control module same as shifting right in D?

@10tenadventures 29 дней назад

No, it is a remap of the throttle response, holds gear changes longer, but still automatic shift through all gears

Hey mate just wondering what the speed limit sign is on the dash where the colour changes, is that something that can be added on settings Like a speed limit identifier?? Thanks

@10tenadventures 4 месяца назад

Hey mate, yeah, it will pull the local limit of signs as I pass them... great fun in school zones outside school hours, I had to turn off the audible "you are over the speed limit" notifications so my car stopped screaming at me at 5.30pm in an 80 zone and the car thinks its 40... as for adding in settings, I think it would depend on what year your car is... I've not seen anywhere on mine to turn it off though

@Fateh29 11 месяцев назад

@marklaurendet1861 10 месяцев назад

Looking at getting one for my VX as well A smart move may be to take it out if you are getting the vehicle serviced by Toyota or making any warranty claim for gearbox or engine. If Toyota did not fit it they will claim incompatability, they are very hard on third party accessories like throttle controllers.

@10tenadventures 10 месяцев назад

Fair comment, although the part here is a genuine toyota part. 3rd party controller, I'd pull out before servicing without question

@10tenadventures 9 месяцев назад

Thanks, glad you liked it, was a fun video to shoot! GXL needs a slight wiring modification from what I now understand, the cable is there, but needs something added...

For $90, why not! Be warned the delay on receiving the part is pretty long, my first order got cancelled due to the length of delay (same happened to Ian who loaned the part for the video). Worst case, gives you plenty of time to sort out the wiring change

@10tenadventures 11 месяцев назад

Fair enough, only issue there, as others asked about the factory unit, "what about warranty", hard for Toyota to claim a factory part voids your warranty, 3rd party though is a different matter. But end of the day, we all have a bucket load of 3rd party gear on our cars, so may be a moot point
