VDO Pedal Interface II Retrofit solution for
electronically controlled engines
Pedal Interface II consists of an electronic control unit
that is installed between the pedal sensor and the
engine management system, and can be custom pro-
grammed. Three versions of Pedal Interface II are
available: Standard, Enhanced and Premium (See func-
tionality comparison). The setting signals are easy to
manage effectively according to how the system is pro-
grammed, and fixed additional functions may also be
activated. The special configuration of the Pedal Inter-
face II makes it unnecessary to adjust the hardware
and software associated with standard engine manage-
ment system. This makes Pedal Interface II suitable
for use on nearly all types of vehicles. It can be config-
ured by authorized personnel to meet the needs of a
wide range of applications.
