I have a 2018 C63s AMG, I used it for a few days before I took it off. I usually drive the car in sport plus mode and this thing made the throttle extremely twitching and I didn’t like the feeling coming from the wet clutch/transmission. I never had it higher than City mode +1 because it was borderline undriveable. The only way I could understand wanting to keep this is if you only drive in Comfort mode. In Comfort mode where it starts out in 2nd gear it did improve the initial dead pedal feeling. Unfortunately, the setting that felt good in Comfort mode felt terrible in Sport or Sport+. It also looks terribly ugly mounted anywhere visible in the car which defeats the purpose of it being in reach to be able to make changes on the fly.
Another thing that’s not clearly represented in the description is that you can only change the sensitivity within each mode while the car is on. Meaning you can’t switch from City to Sport mode without cycling the car off/on. If you try to, the light indicator will turn red and you’ll be stuck in whatever mode you were in.
While doing some research I found a YouTube video where a guy was installing this and every time he turned the car on the accelerator acted like it was pinned. After watching this I started to have anxiety of a malfunction causing the pedal to stick which could be deadly. If people are getting malfunctioning devices they clearly aren’t testing each and every one of these before shipping them. Even if I loved the effect I would’ve returned it for this reason.
Since removing this device I’ve purchased an ECU/TCU tune for the car and I would highly recommend the same for anyone looking to get more acceleration, top end, pedal feeling from their AMG. Unlike this device the tune does add HP/Torque as well as improved pedal response.

Works well, easy to use. Car feels so much more responsive. Instant go as if you’re supercharged or something depending on your setting.

I have two Pedal Commanders: one for a 2004 Mercedes SL500 and one for a 2014 Mercedes C350 Sport. While both cars provide the option of selecting comfort/economy mode or sport mode, the differences are how the transmission shifts–not really how the throttle responds. With the Pedal Commander, I can customize the throttle responsiveness on both cars, and combined with the different transmission modes, I can get my cars “tuned” to the way I like to drive. Contrary to the naysayers, Pedal Commander is not just a replacement for how hard or fast you push on the pedal, but shortens the response time of the throttle response.
Response can be adjusted from mild to instantaneous. And while instantaneous sounds preferable, it can be a problem in low speed situations such as parking lots and stop and go traffic. The great thing is, you can change the response on the fly with the push of a button. Speaking of pushing buttons, the Blue Tooth feature functions well, but I don’t use it while driving because it requires you to be distracted and the driving while distracted laws in many states would consider touching any handheld device while driving a distraction. At least with the wired controller, you can change your settings by feel and never have to look away from the road.
I find my most comfortable setting is City +1 or +2 for driving, well, around town. On the highway, I like the Sport mode matched with the Sport transmission setting. Rarely do I put it in Sport+ as the throttle is too sensitive for steady driving.
Lastly, this is not a replacement for chip tuning that produces more horsepower–it doesn’t do that–but it does significantly improve the quickness that power is delivered. If you have a turbo car, then get a chip tune, as well. But for non-turbo cars, this is a very affordable performance improvement. (My experience that chip tunes for non-turbo cars are generally a waste of money.)

I can feel the difference with this device in general, but the lag at the start it’s still about the same…

Man bezahlt 250€ es ja nicht wenig Geld und ändert nichts im Auto, also nicht zu empfehlen

Everyone that is bashing on this is either A) uneducated in what this actually does or B) expectations too high.
INSTALLATION:
1. DISCONNECT NEGATIVE TERMINAL AT MAIN BATTERY. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT SO YOU CAUSE ANY CODES WHEN UNPLUGGING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL
2. Plug and play. Literally.
This does what it is supposed to do. If you drive in the sport+ mode and maximum sensitivity, expect the car to be jerky if your vehicle is not TUNED.
From the dig (0 mph) it doesn’t really make a difference as that is all up to the amount of power your engine is making but from a roll, there is a BIG difference in Sport and 3 sensitivity.
If you think this is a JB4 that will give you instant power, you’re wrong. This just helps with the lag e.g turbo lag. Don’t expect it to give you 50 HP if you put it on the highest setting.

My whip is stage 2 tuned with an additional 60hp. After the tune, I didn’t really feel the effect until I installed this device. GAME CHANGER!!!

One if the best products I’ve bought for my car. It’s got 4 modes and I’ll break em down
Eco- slows the acceleration of the car, and actually saves gas for you aswell, makes me feel like I’m a chauffeur driving around.
City- gives a little more pep in your step, helps with making some quick decisions in town traffic
Sport- this one gives the edge on the highway, helps making quick decisions, allows you to accelerate faster
Sport+ – my favorite, my car lived in this mode for the summer, soon as you hit the pedal you’re gone. I drive a 4matic benz, so I have no trouble with handling, however, to be cardful, because this makes the gas pedal very touchy, fun to use, but can be equally as dangerous.
Each of these modes can be adjusted so you can tune the acceleration habits to your needs.
Over all, a great addition to my car, after getting it tuned, added ram air intake, and xpipe. This addition just helps take my car to the next level. Fallen in love with my car all over again. Would recommend for ANY car, to either save gas, or add some performance !

What’s like a charm but it is OVER priced.

Plug and play, works flawlessly without any troubleshooting and usually best money I’ve spent on that car because it completely changes the way corresponds especially stop. My w204 c300 as well as my previous C class have always been shockingly slow and boring, even just point A to point B around town driving. This device changes the way the car respond as soon as you touch the gas pedal by greatly reducing or eliminating the lag and time it takes to do what you want. Amazing just a trip to the grocery store is so much more enjoyable with this device and I highly recommend it. The highest setting is very touchy, but not like some reviews out there, at least for me. I actually prefer in the highest setting does the slightest tap on the pedal and the thing takes off without delay at all. Great product
