    I guess with all the previous claims that the dealer could not detect I'm surprised emissions would.

    Can you not reflash to OE, pass testing, then reflash the tune?

    It was said that the Checksum / CVN would not match.

    Kind of a crazy development, but it seems very limited.

    if you pussyfoot the gas pedal all the time, pedal commander will 'help'. as in, it will make the gas pedal act like it's traveling further with less physical movement.

    but if you're already beating it like a rented mule, pedal commander is about as useful as bragging you went to the chicken colonel last night.

    Couple years ago I bought a pedal Commander used. Worked fine, no issues. The most important thing to keep in mind with these devices is that they do not add power. They increase throttle response. That's it. Although this is a different brand, here is a video that provides a great demo of what these devices do compared to stock.

    Personally, I got rid of my PC after about 3 months and went back to stock. Just had an OTT done about a month ago and highly recommend it.

    Just my $.02.
