When the opportunity presented itself to work side by side with Pedal Commander to integrate a Bluetooth enabled, Plug N Play Throttle Response Controller for the Polaris Slingshot, we were both excited and skeptical. We know that the Slingshot has inherently laggy throttle response...it's something that's bothered us since day one.. but we'd never tested a throttle response controller on any vehicle, so we weren't quite sure what to expect.
The results are literally "mind blowing", this throttle response controller takes the fun of driving the Slingshot to an exponentially funner level by giving you push button control over how fast you want the throttle to respond when the gas pedal is pressed. It brings the Slingshot alive and makes it an absolute beast out of corners with instantaneous throttle response when you need it most. Regardless of whether your Slingshot's in stock form or you're rocking a laundry list of power adders.. every Slingshot owner can vastly benefit from this mod! In fact we're pretty certain it'll be one of your favorites mods!
When you first turn on your ignition the Pedal Commander is going to load up in "city" mode. You can then scroll through the modes by pressing the "star" on the pedal commander logo. You'll have 4 modes to choose from Eco, City, Sport and Sport+. The LED will illuminate letting you know which mode you are in. You'll notice that "ECO" mode does not illuminate when scrolling through modes. That's because ECO mode is for those of you looking for a throttle delay and is only intended to maximize MPG and should only be used in highway applications. To get to "ECO" mode you'll have to hold down the "star" icon until "eco" mode illuminates. Since the majority of the people buying this unit are looking to enhance their pedal response.. ECO mode will most likely not be used by most.
Once you find your desired mode you have a (+) and (-) button that allows you to adjust throttle sensitivity in that mode with up to 8 different sensitivity settings. You can decrease throttle response in that mode with the (-) button. You will see the LED's at the bottom of the controller illuminate red as you decrease the sensitivity. If you'd like to increase the throttle response in that mode you'll click the (+) button and you'll see the LED's at the bottom of the controller illuminate green as you increase sensitivity. If the 8 settings in that driving mode do not fit your driving style... you can simply change modes until you find one that puts a smile on your face.
The system also features a built in "memory setting", so when you turn the ignition back on for your next drive, the unit will load back to your last mode & sensitivity level used. You can turn "off" the pedal commander at any time, restoring the Slingshot to its factory pedal response.
Now for those of you that are tech geeks like us.. the Pedal Commander comes with a free app that allows you to pair your smartphone to your Pedal Commander for complete control of your Slingshot's pedal response right from your smartphone. It's pretty awesome and allows you to control all of the same features that the physical module does.
If you're looking to completely eliminate "gas pedal lag" on your Polaris Slingshot or if you're just looking to restore that excitement between you and your machine this is a "must have" mod!
