slingmods a question about this, in the manual, it states that engaging the cruise turns off the Pedal Commander, and I didn't test this, but does that also apply to eco mode?
It would make sense that eco mode would be useful with the cruise for highways.
Thanks!
Hey Wokka, great question. My guys have the Slings in pieces as usual for videos, so i'm unable to test this for you. You guys will probably figure this out before me. Please let me know if you do! Thx.

Hey Guys, just got back from Pedal Commander Headquarters. I was speaking with the owner and they said they're working on the ability to be able to "customize" the names of the 4 modes in the phone application. So you could essentially name the modes what you want. Ex: Hold On Tight, Ludicrous, etc. I don't have an eta.. but it is in motion.. so I thought i'd share. Once available it will simply be an app update.. so all existing customers will eventually have this.

....had to delete the app , reinstall it and restart my cell and now it mirrors the unit...
Awesome!

Okay - just took the slingshot for a short test run and all I can say is WOW!
In my brain I know this device does not increase power, but it sure damn does feel like it does and not by some small amount
Ran in "sport" mode at zero - no + or - just straight sport and I like it - hit the gas and the sling jumps like it has instant power - as I think someone above said its almost like the instant on you would get from an electric
decided to jump on the freeway just to play and was rolling on the on ramp at a steady 28mph and punched it - I was surprised when I spun the tire shifting into third - my sling is stock and this is not something that normally happens going into third - a chirp perhaps but this was enough that I had to let of just a tad
anyway - I am 100+ percent satisfied - this thing does what it says it will do and it does it in spades - this is going to go right up at the top of my list for mods that are the best bank for the buck!!!
I'm right there with ya.. It honestly doesn't make sense how much of an improvement it makes. It's like an entirely different machine. I'm glad you guys understand now why I was so excited. Lol.

Display MoreIn A ECM tune their are 2 thoughts vs pedal commander:
The ECU tune = $400, changes fuel tables, timing, rev/mph limiters, and throttle response.
Pedal Commander= half the price of a ECU tune and DIY variable settings.
I know some people are thinking why not spend a few hundred dollars more for a tune- a few thoughts you might avoid warranty if your dealer has to plug in the digital wrench and or lose the tune.
I'm still on the fence getting turbo or supercharged- but when I do the pedal commander WON'T be obsolute-matter of fact it would be synergistic with the tune-especially having those variable inputs.
The only negative I can see with the pedal commander is the Andriod Bluetooth Application Screen doesn't match the front language of the unit itself (in other words not a mirror image)
And you really need a good rear traction tire- my Not to 555 G2 275/35/20 showed up today from Discount Tire for $200 shipped.
Great points. I received an email from Pedal Commander that the serial#'s were sent to the factory in Turkey. I would imagine if not done already that the app screen should match in the next few days if doesn't already. You would need to completely close the app and re-open to test. They also informed me that on the next app update they're going to have a toggle to change your app screen on your own. So that issue will be resolved.

Seriously - I don't know how slingmods managed to do it, but this group buy price is a huge discount
If anyone is really thinking about this I strongly suggest you don't wait until its too late
JMO
This Pedal Commander falls under "MAP" policy, which means it can only be advertised for $299.99. Without stirring up the pot, we had a "whistle blower" call Pedal Commander and complain were were offering this group buy price to you guys. I won't name names.. so please don't ask. Long story short.. we were given permission to continue this sale price until Nov 1st. So yes.. if you like the reviews of your fellow members and think this mod is for you please take advantage of the sale, as this retail price will not be seen again, and of course thank you to all of you for your support throughout the years.
I was personally blown away to see that almost every single group buy order was a repeat customer of ours. It's a testament to the solidity of the group here and we're grateful to have been a part of it since day one!

So on an unrelated question for those that are trying this out (hope to have mine in tonight) on the topic of settings. I was curious to see if it would easily turn off to be able to compare or run without it, obviously that question was answered. Does the eco mode give it more lag per say than what the slingshot has without the controller on? Hopefully that question makes sense. I guess I'm trying to understand if even eco mode has more response than the controller off or if the controller off lies somewhere between eco and city?
Hello, the first time you power the device it will load into "city" mode. You can then press the yellow star icon to cycle to sport, then sport+, then off. The only way to access "eco" mode is hold down the yellow star. ECO mode is not recommended for city driving as it actually "delays" pedal response. Eco was only intended to maximize MPG on long highway drives.

Display Moreslingmods, you guys need to jump into the 2 recent turn signal threads here and talk to your string light suppliers to see if they can rectify our issue.
Yesterday my right side upper and lower brow lights and turn signal combos stopped working. This is the second time. Many others are having similar intermittent failures.... mine cleared up after it sits for several hours...well it did the last time I don’t know if it cleared up today...
Have them read both threads to get a more complete picture of what’s going on....
As always thanks...we appreciate you.

Ahhh. that's a cool mounting location!

First they said DO NOT Change settings while driving because it could throw a code.
Second, I asked this before without a reply... can the app or unit be hacked because it’s bluetooth?
If your driving in bumper to bumper traffic and it suddenly goes into race mode....you’re screwed...
It's the same as any bluetooth connection. Your phone needs to be in pairing mode and within device range to accept the connection. This is a one time deal to achieve this. Once a bluetooth connection is made with a smartphone it's always remembered and connects unless you physically click "unpair" or "forget device".

Display MoreOoooookkkk FOLKS. Let's see if i can explain this good for ya'll.
First the app does not match the head unit. But as the lights go its easy to see where you are. I stayed in sport mode most of the time, with switching to other modes randomly to see the difference. I will say that i like that I could stay on the gas and switch modes via app while driving. Sport mode is great. I think that +3 is my favorite. I can really tell the difference. Gives the pedal the right amount of response to me. I did several runs from 40-80.60-90. Although I don't have time runs for them with/without pedal commander, I really feel like there is a couple of second improvement. I really enjoyed passing cars today. I feel like my smile has gotten bigger.
So the next mode that we all will be in as well, Sport+. DUDE... is what I said to myself after being in it. Crazy, crazy responsive. The booklet says this is the "race" mode, and I think they mean it. If I had dropped down to under 40, the throttle was very touchy and jerky. Definitely not an in town mode or even on the Highway bypass around town. You need open road. Bigdog made reference in the group by thread about going faster and risking a ticket.. Yes. This is a dangerous mode that will make you want to do nothing but ride over 80 so be warned. Gas mileage gone.
I did alot of switching between modes while on the gas. You can feel the difference as it switches modes and even levels. Even giving it throttle and turning the unit off. This is how I can tell the pedal commander is working.
So since most of you all will get your units at the first of the week, I have NO DOUBT you will enjoy the difference. I drove the pedal max in Eureka Springs and to me these have different results, and pedal commander is better.. My opinion, fight me (haha). And the best part of this unit is that its strictly plug and play. Unlike the pedal max which has to be given power to battery and unit installed. I don't think that you will regret your decisions. And if you do, unplug and set it back for refund. Open for questions now because i know i missing something.
That's fantastic! I knew you were gonna love it. I spoke with Pedal Commander on the "phone app template" looking slightly different than the physical module face plate.This is actually being fixed and will automatically be updated for all customers that are using the phone app. The phone app template is linked to the serial# on each unit.. so they sent the factory in Turkey all of our initial 200 unique serial#'s so that the phone app face plate will be indentical to the module. Hope that made sense. Lol.
I'd like to clarify that this does not affect functionality, it is simply a visual thing for those using the Bluetooth Phone Application!

As far as i know, this unit only activates when throttle is pressed and has no affect on idle speeds.. just simply opens throttle body faster..
slingmods may have more info towards that
That is correct. Idle RPM remains the same.
-
Just like constantly running on high idle....
I predict shortened engine life and more clutch replacements....
I have not seen where it says it changes the idle - link please - and for this specific device not some other brand
thank you
I think Bigdog may be referring to when i said this...
"A good example of how the gas pedal will respond is if you're parked on the side of the road in neutral and press the gas pedal to 3k rpm and click the dial up (+1) you'll instantly see the slingshot jump to 3,200 rpm, (+2) 3,400 rpm, etc.. These are examples of the logic.. not the actual results."
The system does not effect idle RPM. I was simply explaining the logic behind how the increase in sensitivity alters the voltage signal of the pedal response. It's a very difficult thing to explain in writing. 10 seconds behind the wheel is all you need. Lol. We have 20+ members that have redeemed the group buy coupon so far. We'll have a great amount of community feedback here shortly.
Please also note that this is not new technology created solely for the Slingshot. Pedal Commander sells an estimated 60,000 units annually across hundreds of car variations including UTV's. I think there tech is already a proven success. The only question that remains is if its endorsed by the Slingshot community "after" real world testing, not speculation!

Update: Hey Guys.. just an update we only have 7 left on the 15/16 model integration. I would assume those will sell out over the weekend. We have more on order but Pedal Commander is at a show in Laughlin Nevada this weekend. I'll have more details on the next batch when they return. Thanks!

Ordered yesterday and shipped yesterday. You cannot get much faster than that. Thx Slingmods.
Thanks Miller! We lost electrical power yesterday at the facility due to the California Wild Fires.. we were still able to get everyones orders shipped out! Thanks for the support guys.
