Is the iDRIVE suitable for petrol engines?
The iDRIVE can be used on both naturally aspirated and forced induction petrol and
diesel engines.
Can’t I just press the accelerator harder?
iDRIVE throttle controllers work in two ways. When you first depress the pedal, there
is what is referred to as a dead zone, where there is very little response, no matter
how hard you hit the pedal, nothing happens. The iDRIVE converts this dead signal
to action, completely eliminating the dead zone. The second part of the iDRIVE's
function is opening the throttle earlier in the pedal stroke, which cannot be replicated
by pressing the pedal harder or faster. No matter what people tell you, or how
skeptical they are you cannot simply slam the pedal harder, every iDRIVE comes
with a 30-day money back guarantee for this very reason, every single day we are
turning sceptics into believers. If someone isn’t 100 percent happy and satisfied with
their iDRIVE, they can simply return it for a full refund, that is how confident we are
in our product. We are always on the lookout for people trying to leave negative
comments about the “science behind the iDRIVE' or people who don’t believe in its
functionality as we love sending these people a free iDRIVE to test for themselves,
and it’s fair to say we very rarely get the iDRIVE back.
Will the iDRIVE work with other modifications?
Aftermarket Cruise Control – To date we have not come across an
aftermarket cruise control system that is not compatible with the iDRIVE.
ECU Tune/ Re-flash – iDRIVE’s can be used with any ECU Tune and re-
flash as they don’t change throttle parameters.
Power chips/exhaust – iDRIVE's work on a completely different internal
system than power chips and exhaust systems, making them a great
compliment for these two modifications.
