Hey Nick, this XS is amazing, I have just received and installed on my Dmax. The first setting I used was Auto and had a giggle on the way to work. After work I tried the hike it mode, straight away I had the biggest grin and laughed all the way home, and watched the fuel consumption go up as well. Thank you for doing this video, I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone.
Thanks Nick. Another great video mate and much appreciated the effort you've been putting in to get more content out. Really loving it. Are there concerns that some installers should be mindful of? Like installing on units with an aftermarket ECU or high mileage vehicles, etc?
Hey Todd, there isn't anything that you really need to worry about with fitting a throttle controller to your vehicle. It is not like a tune or anything like that. It basically just boosts the throttle signal but still keeps it inside the factory parameters.
This throttle controller is more advanced, has more features, better design and is more user friendly. You can see all of the differences on the hikeit website linked above 🙂 its completely up to you if you want the latest and greatest throttle controller or if you are happy with the older model 🙂 Thanks for watching
Hi, I like your videos a lot and I am a subscriber because it helps me and others, if you don't mind can you give feedback regarding safety issues, My question is what if the throttle controller's device suddenly fails? or was the little wire accidentally cut? Do we still have the control of gas pedal, especially on the highway? or it will be back to normal mode? Thank you for hoping you can enlighten us. thank you again!
Hey Blair! The Hikeit XS is a much better unit. It has heaps more settings and modes to play with. Faster processor, meaning the auto mode works really well. It has an auto dimming back light so the unit doesn't blind you at night. It has anti theft mode, valet mode, overtake mode and anti slip mode as well as all of the other modes. It is a completely new design as well which makes it easier to use and navigate. There is more info on the hikeit website as well if you would like to see all the details 😊
This throttle controller is miles ahead of the Idrive. It has heaps more modes and settings to play with. It has an auto dimming backlight so you don't get blinded by the backlight at night. Faster processor, meaning the auto IQ mode works alot more accurately then the Idrive. As you can see from the video it is a completely new design which makes it super easy to use and navigate through the modes and settings. You can see all of the details on the hikeit website linked above. 🙂 Cheers Mick
@@LowRangeNick was this provided to you to review or did you purchase it yourself at full price? I bought the I drive after watching your video not long ago
@@Mick_4591 Hey Mick, it was provided to me for a review as was the HIKEITx9 throttle controller in my earlier videos. I have been testing the HIKEIT throttle controllers since the beginning. Cheers 🙂

Cheers Cass! They are great fun haha
Solid review! I just stumbled across this particular model and am liking the look of it. Cheers!
G, thanks. You just convinced me to buy one. BTW, thanks for the discount
Haha! They are a great unit! Nice choice 😊
Just ordered one and used your code, lets hope the 4jj3 will now get up and boogie thanks alot.
Got the first one for NZ on the way for my D-Max, can't wait...
Very nice! They are a great unit 😊
@@LowRangeNick been hanging out for a few months since hearing about it
Where did you order yours from Craig? I was looking at the iDrive/EVC for my 2017 D-Max but will look at the Hike It XS as well.
@@blairclaydon8548 drop me an email paramedic@dsservices.co.nz will point you in the right direction ;)

@@LowRangeNick champion! Thanks Nick! I hope you and your family had a great Christmas and New Year's!
@@toddsmash Thanks alot, Merry Christmas and a happy New year to you and your family too 🙂
Thanks mate got the discount the Hikeit guys were great it's like I've bought a different car. Isuzu MUX 2016 LST. Cheers
Thanks Nick , How this is compared to hikeit x9? worth installing XS if you already got X9 ?
This throttle controller is more advanced, has more features, better design and is more user friendly.

Nice video Nick! Is there a discount for the U.S.?
Hi Nick, can I use the same XS model on both types of my Mitsubishi Pajero Sport model 2015+ (petrol & diesel engines)?
They got it 40% off right now. Just paid $137usd for mine

If it fails then it will go back to normal.
Will you be getting your MUX tuned?
Your Hike can fit to Mazda BT50 2008 4x4 3.0L Diesel?
Sure can!
How does it compare to the iDrive/EVC throttle controller?

So this controller is better than the I drive you had installed?
Or was this provided to you to give a review on.

How have you found it with fuel economy? Has it stayed the same, gotten worse/better?
Came to the comments wondering the same thing
@@JamieMillhouse guess he'll keep us wondering forever
Hi Nick, the discount code doesn’t work
Yep sorry it has finished now..
Looks like an RC remote control.
Im/wondering how itl go in my swift sport lol
I am guessing it's only for automatic transmissions.
It's for both automatic and manual transmissions 😊
Hey mate, are you still using this throttle controller?.
Yes I sure am!
@@LowRangeNick do you rate it over the I drive?..
@CN1980 yeah, it is a great unit! Loads of features. Really easy to use and change between settings.
Its this compatible to mux 2016 2.5L 4x2 Manual..? Tnx😊
You would need to double check on the hikeit website if it lists your vehicle or send hikeit a message as I'm not too sure.
Hi how can i buy it from malaysia ? As the website dint provide international shipping. 😢
Hi there, you may need to contact hikeit and see if they can specially send one out to you.
@@LowRangeNick thanks alot nick !
Just put your foot down more than you normally would, it's exactly what the controller is doing
It definitely increased my gas consumption.
Improved fuel consumption (used less )or used more fuel
