Therefore, the programme reduces the throttle response and limits the opening of the throttle cap up to a certain point. To achieve this, the maximum position of the throttle can be set individually. Approx. 20% (suitable for city traffic/valet parking), 50% (standard setting) or 80% (prevents strong acceleration).

The PedalBox improves the standard response times of the manufacturer's accelerator pedal. There is an immediate response from the engine with a more sporty feel and no more lag. more...
How does the PedalBox work? More fun with the perfect setting for you
The following curves illustrate the speed at which the vehicle reacts to throttle input. It’s not about engine power but rather the time it takes for the engine to realise that power!
Significant improvements can be felt even in the ‘City’ (green) mode. The 'Sport' (orange) and 'Sport Plus' (red) modes offer even more of an improvement than the 'City' mode, and all selectable by the driver.
The blue line indicates the standard responsiveness of the throttle from the manufacturer and can also be simulated by turning the PedalBox to its ‘OFF’ mode.
The PedalBox improves the standard pre-programmed throttle pedal characteristic of the manufacturer. Thus, there is no more delay in acceleration. The driver gets a noticeable sportier and more spontaneous feedback from the engine. more...
How does the PedalBox Pro work?More driving pleasure with the perfect setting
The curves illustrate the speed at which the vehicle responds to throttle pedal movement. It is not about the engine power, but about the time it takes the engine to convert this power. In other words, the PedalBox eliminates the delay from the throttle pedal to the engine.
Even in City (purple) mode, the vehicle's response is significantly improved and optimized for city traffic. Further programs are available to the driver at the push of a button. Sport (orange) and Sport Plus (red) modes offer you more aggressive acceleration for highway or racetrack driving.
You can also switch to Eco (green) mode at any time to reduce your fuel consumption while driving. The potential for fuel savings is increased with the help of reduced throttle response. A smoother and more relaxed start and balanced acceleration when overtaking thus ensure fuel savings.
The throttle characteristic (blue) describes the pre-programmed characteristic of the manufacturer. Here the PedalBox is switched off, the vehicle is then in the standard state.
Using the keypad, four different modes can be selected: City, Sport, Sport+ and Stock. These modes can further be fine-tuned with the Plus and Minus buttons. more...
Overview: Programs and fine tuningOver 20 different possible combinations
SPORT (Orange): This is the default mode and suitable for everyday driving
SPORT-Plus (Red): The quickest possible throttle response, great for the thrill seekers
Stock (White): The car is in stock mode
Once you have selected a program, you can either increase(green/plus) or decrease(red/minus) it’s intensity.
Five different driving modes can be selected via the program button: City, Sport, Sport Plus, Eco, Standard. Individual programs can be fine-tuned using the plus and minus buttons. Discover more functions of the PedalBox! more...
Overview: Programs and fine adjustmentOver 35 different adjustment options
CITY (Purple): An improved pull-through, especially suitable for inner-city driving
SPORT (Orange): The engine responds more spontaneously, a real plus in dynamics
SPORT PLUS (Red): An optimal throttle response throughout the entire rev range
ECO (Green): Reduces fuel consumption by limiting aggressive and sporty acceleration processes
Standard (White): The vehicle is in standard mode
Within the selected program, the throttle response can be easily increased with the plus and minus button by up to three additional levels (Red) or decreased by up to three levels (Green) using the plus and minus buttons.
Additional Pro features:
Limit mode (L / yellow): Limit tuning for outside drivers and always ensure the safety of your vehicle in traffic. With this, novice drivers in the family or hotel employees can be safe and in control at all times, especially for powerful vehicles with a lot of traction on the throttle. For this purpose, the throttle response is reduced and the opening of the throttle is limited to a certain point.
Immobilizer (lock icon): Secure your vehicle additionally with the PedalBox and prevent theft by external interference and override with Keyless Go. Each start is released by PedalBox only if your associated remote control or paired cell phone is within range. PedalBox protects you at the same time from the well-known security gap of Keyless Go. Many vehicle types make it easy for thieves to override your car key. PedalBox does not offer thieves this possibility and thus additionally secures your vehicle against theft.

What our customers say
We are constantly receiving feedback from the independent review portal eKomi, via email, social media and our customer surveys. Get an overview on our customers' opinions on this page.
“ Very good communication with the customer. All inquiries will be answered quickly with a solution. That's service! ”
“ Good support for self-installation, system functions, better performance with low fuel consumption. ”
“ I was at the company and the installation was without problems. A test drive then showed the subjective performance boost. After a year with the box my fuel consumption has not increased (fuelbook logging). So all is well! ”
“ Product is top! It delivers what it promises! ”
“ Was very satisfied with the fast delivery, and I also was very well advised by a technician over the phone and could therefore install my components without problems in my vehicle. ”
“ My car is now great. I'm very satisfied with the tuning. The installation was easy. The delivery was the next day with me. I had a technical issue that could be resolved over the phone. I'm very satisfied with the product and the support ”
“ I now know my car barely. I never thought that it works so well. Will naturally recommend it. ”
“ I use DTE Systems products already over 7 years. Always have always received exhaustive information, regardless of which contact I have chosen, phone or mail. The products PedalBox and Chiptuning in my opinion are the best you can get on the market, the products have never let me down and do what they promise. ”
“ Expert advice, fast shipping and the quality of products (chip and pedalbox) I can judge well as a former car mechanic. I use both and the difference in acceleration dynamics and performance improvement is tremendous. The chiptuning and the pedal box harmonize together perfectly. I'll also need 1 - 1,5l less diesel. My vehicle has almost a motorsport feeling and I can not imagine driving without them. Great company! ”
“ I deliberately chose a tuning box of DTE Systems, because the increase in performance remains in a realistic magnitude and a certificate of conformity was included. The installation was relatively easy. Just as the acceptance by the TÜV. Was actually quite happy with my performance. However I lacked in some situations more pressure out from below. After installation of the box, the torque increase already in the lower speed range is appreciable. The fuel savings are in my case about 0.5l per 100km. The default setting of the box has not been altered by me. After 2000 km so far there were no problems. The shipment of DTE Systems is very fast. The service is very good, although I hardly had to use it. ”
