Thank you… i was struggling with hairpins, knives, screwdrivers to remove the plug - until I watched your video 🤣
Haha your welcome mate 🤝
Bought one for my 2018 dmax it goes alright initial thoughts. See how it goes in all the conditions I drive during the winter
Awesome vid mate, the smile when you hit 3rd gear was priceless!
Yeah mate I was stoked for a 10 minute job they make the cars so much more better to drive.
Great video mate, I got an I drive about 10 months ago, and love it, these things are one of the best cheaper mods you can do for your 4x4 in my opinion, only thing I would say to people is go with the name brand ones and not the cheaper ones.
Absolutely mate I wouldn't put my name on something I didn't trust 👌
Great video, interesting in seeing where you mounted the panel. Any chance of a pic?
Just got one and installed it. It's a new car!!! Completly different
Legend great to hear story’s of other people enjoying it to!
So can save fuel?
very informative vid. no "hey guys, i had this for breakfast" straight to the point. cos of this, i'm about to lose $300 but i'm looking forward to it. cheers
Hahaha classic!
Gday mate..
I have this unit on my Hyundai Veloster Turbo..
Definitely makes a difference but I can’t have it on any setting other than cruise or automatic when in park..
If I have it on another setting and put the car in park ..it literally revs its head off and I have to change the setting immediately..
That can’t be normal right?
Nice video mate. Does the controller will destruct the tuned transmission when you install that thing? I have a tuned transmission so just asking if it does anything on tuned transmission? Cheers
Wouldn’t do mate it’s only adjusting the throttle signal everything else is left alone
@@4x4CampingandAdventures thats beauty mate😊😊
Thanks for an interesting episode I learned a lot. 👍
No worries mate plenty more to come!
Awesome video mate. Do you think that an automatic transmission would get confused with that on?
Not at all mate they have a manual and automatic mode you can set it 👍
Great Guy, Amazing Review and Love that smiling reaction LOL :o)
Thanks legend
We only got something like that in nz now that's a bit slack and unfortunately I think it only works for stock ecu/ecm
Hey just a question, might be a stupid question just wondering does this mess with the computer, if you didn't want it on and you take it off,would it change computer?
aaron neilen not a stupid question at all mate it doesn’t effect the ECU at all as it piggy backs on to it so if you do remove it it reverts back to standard

Just wondering if you could help me, it's seems that we own the same unit and I'm having troubles detaching the plug from it's socket. Could you please show me how you did it? Appreciate it.
Medin Julie I used a knife mate to get behind the clip and pulled it open that way
hey mate any chance you have a coupon code for purchasing? Going to order now for my MN

Hey mate still going well and the throttle controller has been awesome still puts a grin on my face when I take it for a spin
Does it take that dreadful lag in the triton off the line away?
Yeah to an extent but not completely
Do any of the modes improve your gas mileage? That’s the reason I want one.
Not at all mate they can slow down the throttle control but I wouldn’t say they will improve your fuel economy
Can i get 1 for a 2002 hilux
Do you still have it installed? If so how has it held up?
Got one in the Y62 mate both are being used everyday still going strong.
@@4x4CampingandAdventures Awesome, what would you say is the best mode for daily driving around town?
Cruise is what I have it on mate seems the best setting for around town driving
If you have a remap done is it still something worth doing?
Still won't get rid of the throttle delay mate it's due to the nature of fly by wire every car has the delay so it's definitely worth it.
How do you get your triton to sound so good
Straight through 3 inch mate
@@4x4CampingandAdventures do you have a link to that mate
Nah I got it done locally mate but there are plenty online
What’s your thoughts on idrive ?
Never used one mate but they have good reviews but I can’t see it being any better than the one I showed hear to be honest they are all just playing with the throttle response. If you get one use the 4x4campingandadventures code for a discount
Awesome review 👍
Thanks mate
Are they only for 4wd or can it be used on hatchback with same results?
Not at all mate can be used for any car with a electronic throttle don’t forget to use the code 4x4campingandadventures for a discount mate

I’ve got a 08 3.2lt triton and no fucking way can I get the accelerator plug out. Just wasted $250 on one of these things.
Update.
Got the Hikeit installed. Started engine. Idle is about 2 grand and the unit will not power on. Don’t want to put it in drive in case it punches me through the shed door. 🙄
Hey mate have you reset the unit?
