Pedal Commander for KIA Optima (2016-2019) - Throttle Response Controller
Say goodbye to throttle delay in your KIA Optima. Forever.
Have you ever noticed that older vehicles were more responsive and quicker to take off? That’s because older vehicles were operated on mechanical throttle cables, which means everything happened instantaneously. Today’s newer vehicles lack the responsiveness that came with older throttle cables because they are now controlled by the vehicle’s computer. It doesn’t matter how fast you push your gas pedal to the floor, you don’t have access to all the power your vehicle has to offer. We are your solution!
Pedal Commander is an advanced throttle controller that allows your engine to respond faster and gives you the acceleration you want when you want it! By amplifying the signal being sent from the sensor on your gas pedal to the vehicle's ECU (computer), our throttle response controller removes response delays on any vehicle with an electronic gas pedal.
Pedal Commander is one of the demanded KIA Optima accessories on the market. Live Life Full Throttle and fall in love with your KIA Optima all over again!
Important Notice:
After Installing your Pedal Commander unit be sure to connect to BT to activate your Pedal Commander and Live Life Full Throttle

INSTALLATION
1. Turn off Ignition.
2. Keep your key fob (if applicable) at least 35 ft. (10m) away from your Optima. This prevents your car from using power to transmit signals to your proximity key fob sensor.
3. Leave your driver’s door open for 15 minutes to allow your ECU to shut down completely.
4. Locate and disconnect your accelerator pedal assembly plug.
5. Plug in your Pedal Commander in line with your accelerator pedal assembly plug until you hear a “click.”
6. Make sure the cables are tucked in place so they do not interfere with your driving experience.
7. Place and mount the Pedal Commander to your desired location using the velcro and mounting bracket that's included in the box.
IMPORTANT
To avoid receiving check engine lights or other issues, it is important that you follow these instructions properly. Also, please ensure that you hear a “click” sound while connecting the plugs, as this signifies a secure connection.

I've heard about pedal commander and how much they help throttle response over the years. Though it was a gimmick. Didn't think this would actually do anything. Boys was i wrong. This thing definitely improves throttle response. Worth every penny. Only forewarning I'd give is to be prepared if you use Sport Plus +4..... There's no inching into throttle. It's on or off. Fun as hell. Freaky if you're not expecting it

It gave my Kia Telluride the instantaneous response I was looking for, but over time caused a motor hesitation/misfiring feel. I took it out, and the hesitation stopped. Returning it. Also, Pedal Commander customer service has been non responsive.
