Bump for an awesome product. A must have for all small compact car.

Also, the latest "Flat" version is coming out this Friday. Compared to the previous version, Flat T/C comes w/ a much smaller display unit and measures only 15 mm height.


Sincerely,
Panson

All of you that haven't gotten one of these yet are missing out on an useful, very fun, easy to install device that will allow you throttle open more quickly to make your car more responsive and slower opening settings to help you save fuel when the prices are high or you just want to get the money back that you paid for it..... It helps me stay out of trouble when I am in Eco-5 mode but full throttle operation in that mode is still there when your foot is all the way down.... In the Eco-mode the percentage of your throttle opening can be seen on the screen and is a great tool to help you drive economically..... T.W. Panson is always very quick to ship and make sure you are pleased with your purchase....

Does the throttle body controller leave any sort of code that can be picked up by a diagnostic device/computer after it is used and unplugged from the car? The reason I ask is because I don't want to be bothered by the dealer's lame excuses about it if one shows.

No, ATC won't leave any code because ATC is not going to interfere w/ you ECU on fuel, ignition, or air. All it does is amplify or shrink the signal being sent to throttle regulator to achieve faster or slower throttle response.

Panson

Hootie..... With your taller than stock tires and automatic transmission you will really benefit from getting one of these.... The quicker throttle response is fun and the economy mode will save you money when you aren't in a hurry and funds are low.

Yeah, It'll keep you out of trouble on loose or slippery surfaces and if you ever get around to turbo or supercharging your engine you won't embarrass yourself by lighting up your front tires when signal lights turn green.

Two questions

1) - How well does it work with auto tranny?

2) - It has to be removed before taking car to Honda for any warranty service right?

Panson just gave me a price so I am getting close.

I just gotta get me a Road Runner decal for the Fit. Ole Wily will never catch me then.

So you think the Controller is fine on an auto eh? I really need one that has the SP7 mode locked out -)

OH do I need remove it before going to a dealer for any wty work?

The ETC plugs into the OBD 2 plug they would use for diagnosis and be easily removed if you feel like there would be a hassle because of it... I don't think it is something that would affect your warranty but there are some idiots on this planet that might make an issue of it being on your car.... I had a mechanic at the dealership where I bought my last new vehicle tell me a Hyper-Tech programmer would cause the computer in my van to catch a virus. The B.S. got very deep as he explained the hows and whys of "the computer" and what all it did..... The interaction with that guy is one of the major reasons that I avoid dealership service departments and wrench on my own vehicles.

Panson explains that it does not interact with the ECU only speeds up or slows down the real time action of the throttle

1. I haven't heard of any complaints so far no matter by conventional automatic tranny or by CVT tranny on other platforms.

2. Though the kit won't interfere w/ your ECU, I still suggest removing the kit before going into stealership.

Sincerely,
Panson
