I'm assuming if you map the throttle using your controller to be more aggressive, it will accentuate the stock "maps" per mode by the same amount, essentially making Tour mode faster throttle and Track mode as well or?
Also wanted to ask, in the event that the unit fails, is there an auto-bypass that allows the OEM signal to go through the device without causing throttle issues (could be a safety concern if it fails while driving) or does it need to be uninstalled if it fails to allow further driving? Curious if you have tested this, perhaps by removing the power source to the device mid-drive and seeing what happens. A video would be GREAT to alleviate any concerns in this regard.
Last item was that folks using a Vitesse Controller have mentioned risk of CELs with throttle controllers like this, usually when changing settings on a running engine or not calibrating it correctly at the get go etc. What experiences have you seen with CELs on your device so far in your beta testing?

Good question, FoundNemo.
Maps: Yes, it will accentuate stock maps. But the controller has memory for the last level used in each TC mode. So you can always recall your favorite TC mode for each car mode.
Safety: Depending on failure mode, it will either bypass to stock response regardless of setting or go to Limp Mode. Such that unintended acceleration is not possible in any case.
CEL Experiences:
* Do not use with AFM disablers or any other OBD2 device.
* Do not install/uninstall while ETC system is energized, wait 10 min after ignition off, open all doors (including trunk) necessary before install/uninstall.
* Connectors should click when installing correctly, don't forget to push in locking tab.
* Do not pull harness/extensions, always push/pull connectors.
* If not sure what happened, disconnect the battery for 15min and check all of the above in the meantime. Reconnect battery, it works miracles.
* If nothing works, follow the instructions to the last step. :-)
Thanks,
