What is the Ultimate9 / iDrive EVC Electronic Throttle Controller? We give you the answers! IDRIVE / Ultimate Performance Ultimate9 WindBooster EVC Electronic Throttle Controller. Suitable for all Holden Commodore VE Series, 2006 – 2013. Fits all Variants, 3lt & 3.6lt V6, 6lt & 6.2lt V8, Sedan, Ute, Wagon, Statesman, Caprice & HSV. The iDRIVE/Ultimate9 is also designed to work in conjunction with a custom tune/chip, so even if you decide to get a tune or chip youll only be getting even more out of it! Rather than a traditional accelerator cable, many modern vehicles use “fly by wire” throttle technology. This system relies on a sensor that measures the pedal pressure and position which then sends a signal to the vehicle’s engine computer which converts to acceleration. Most fly by wire systems have a noticeable delay. IDRIVE/Ultimate9 allows you to tune the signal from the accelerator pedal with multiple inbuilt settings to ensure you find a setting to perfectly suit your driving style. Other awesome benefits include. Plug and play fitment – fits in minutes. No wiring required – absolutely anyone can install it. Reduces response time between accelerator and throttle. 3 modes (Economy, Power, Auto) – 9 levels to set in Economy and Power modes. Auto mode adapts to your driving style on the fly – enjoy power on demand. Improved throttle control offroad. Improved throttle response for everyday use. What makes iDRIVE/Ultimate9 different? IDRIVE/Ultimate9 includes an automatic control function that automatically changes the level of throttle performance based on pedal pressure. So, if you’re in traffic and accelerating gently, the iDRIVE/Ultimate9 will automatically select setting 1. If you are accelerating hard to overtake, towing a heavy trailer, or just having fun the iDRIVE/Ultimate9 will automatically select 9 for you. The result is the smoothest and most intelligent aftermarket control module on the market. IDRIVE/Ultimate9 allows you to tune the signal from the accelerator pedal with multiple inbuilt settings to ensure you find the perfect setting for your driving style. Eco Mode: ECO Mode is designed for fuel economy by reducing the accelerator response time. Also handy for when you are on offroad trails and looking for a bit more throttle control when crawling. Ultimate Mode: Ultimate Mode offers 9 sensitivity levels; this allows the driver to tune the controller to the desired level of sensitivity. Choose level 9 and grip the steering wheel tight or hit level 1 for a gentle smooth acceleration. AC Mode: Automatic Control Mode automatically selects the sensitivity level based on pedal pressure. If you are in traffic and accelerating gently the iDRIVE/Ultimate9 will automatically choose a reduced level of throttle response. If you accelerate hard for overtaking or even just for fun the iDRIVE/Ultimate9 will choose a mode with an increased level of throttle response. Automatic Control mode is what makes iDRIVE/Ultimate9 the most intelligent throttle controller on the market. At Tuff Car Parts, we supply the complete kit.

FAQs: How does it work? The iDRIVE/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller modifies the voltage signal from the fly by wire pedal assembly to allow you to tune the response from your accelerator pedal. Additionally, the iDRIVE/Ultimate9 allows you to greatly reduce the dead zone from when you initially depress the pedal, commonly referred to as throttle lag. The iDRIVE/Ultimate9 does not plug into the OBDII port. The iDRIVE/Ultimate9 plugs directly into your pedal command module and can generally be installed in as little as 5 minutes. Does iDRIVE/Ultimate9 increase power output? No, iDRIVE/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller does not increase power output. The iDRIVE/Ultimate9 has no control over fuel mapping, air to fuel ratio or injection timing. The iDRIVE/Ultimate9 simply changes the way your throttle responds, eliminating any lags or delays in the throttle system and sharpening response. It essentially gets rid of the feeling that theres a big wet sponge sitting underneath the accelerator pedal of most modern cars with the fly by wire system. Is iDRIVE/Ultimate9 suitable for Towing? The iDRIVE/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller is very useful for towing as it helps get your vehicle up to speed from a standing start while using less pedal effort, placing less strain on your motor and using less fuel. Especially handy around town where there is a lot of stopping and starting. Is iDRIVE/Ultimate9 hard to install? The iDRIVE/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller can be installed in under 2 minutes with no tools or technical knowledge required in the vast majority of vehicles. Every unit comes with a clear set of instructions that take you through a step by step installation. The iDRIVE/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller has been designed with plug and play installation as the ultimate goal, so anyone, anywhere can reap the benefits of an iDRIVE/Ultimate9 in their vehicle. Is iDRIVE/Ultimate9 universal or vehicle specific? Although every iDRIVE/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller shares the same main hardware, each iDRIVE/Ultimate9 is specifically programmed to each vehicle, meaning they are not transferable across makes and models. Please check our listings for the makes/models we can supply an iDRIVE/Ultimate9 for. What transmission does the iDRIVE/Ultimate9 work with? IDRIVE/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller is suited to both manual and automatic transmissions. Is iDRIVE/Ultimate9 suitable for diesel or petrol vehicles? The iDRIVE/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller can be used on both naturally aspirated and forced induction Petrol and Diesel engines. Can’t I just press the accelerator down faster to replicate the same response? IDRIVE/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller works in 2 ways. When you first depress the pedal there is what is referred to as a dead zone where there is very little response. No matter how hard or fast you hit the pedal you can’t overcome this. The iDRIVE/Ultimate9 converts this signal to action, greatly reducing this dead zone. The second part is opening the throttle earlier in the pedal stroke, in theory, you might be able to replicate this by pressing the pedal faster and harder, but in practice, you can’t. Will iDRIVE/Ultimate9 work with other modifications? Aftermarket Cruise Control: Yes, we have not seen an aftermarket cruise control that won’t work with an iDRIVE/Ultimate9 including units that plug directly into the fly by wire system. ECU Tune / Re-flash: Yes, the iDRIVE/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller can still be used after an ECU tune/reflash. In most instances, tuners don’t change throttle parameters. Even when throttle parameters are changed the adjustability of throttle response that the iDRIVE/Ultimate9 provides can still be quite useful. Power Chips / Exhaust: Yes, Power chips and upgraded exhaust system work on a different part of the car so an iDRIVE/Ultimate9 will only complement the positive effects of chips and exhausts. IDRIVE/Ultimate9 Australia has performed extensive testing to ensure a correctly fitted iDRIVE/Ultimate9 will not damage your vehicle. The same cannot be said with a custom tune or chip, which is why we here at Tuff Car Parts much prefer the iDRIVE/Ultimate9 for the performance gains it delivers – and at a fraction of the cost. My iDRIVE/Ultimate9 doesn’t turn off? IDRIVE/Ultimate9 throttle controllers don’t require their own power source, making installation a breeze. They rely on power from the accelerator pedal. In many vehicles, when power to the ignition is cut many accessories take some time to power down. You may find it can take 30 seconds before your iDRIVE/Ultimate9 turns off. It may also turn off during periods of inactivity such as when cruise control is in operation. Simply touching the accelerator will instantly turn it on. IDRIVE Australia are rebranding their name: The iDrive moniker is undergoing a re-branding, and will very soon be known as the Ultimate Performance Ultimate9 EVC Throttle Controller. So what does this mean for you, the end user? The rugged controller will continue to deliver the same incredible performance with class-leading adjustability, the housing remains the same as will the connections and most importantly the model specific tunes. All new name, same incredible power. Thats why we here at Tuff Car Parts send out every iDRIVE/Ultimate9 Throttle Controller via Australia Post Express Post so you dont have to wait!
