Electronic Throttle Control

If only I had two Grenadiers then I could refer to they or them

I get into enough trouble being a he/him without making up any more of them/they.

Official response - ETC, what ETC.

May I ask if totally removed? Or just the control unit so Big Brother doesn't know?
I'm liking mine, I actually prefer it on economy mode, I guess it's closer to my old Prado in response to foot pressure.
Mine will be going for a service in July before Cape trip.

@Cheshire cat where did you fix the controller and the fob?

@Cheshire cat where did you fix the controller and the fob?

Controller was tucked into the outer kick panel in the footwell. The controller is in my centre armrest. My model is the Pro, so fob is separate (no wires). I did initially stick it on the overhead panel where it slots in very well but I preferred the hidden look and now control it via my phone.

I doubt if they would even see it. Mine due in for service end of this month. Haven’t fully decided if I should remove it or not. The paranoid side of me says take it out. Only 15 mins to do so. The pragmatic side says ‘just leave it’.

I think I’m right in saying that if you have your app on the phone, you don’t even need the fob in the vehicle.
There is also a handy setting where you can disable the throttle and help prevent theft of the vehicle.

Yes. I did. Don’t know it it helped or not but overall, this piece of kit really impressed me.

Fitted Pedalbox Pro and went for a quick spin. Eco mode not for me as nothing seems to happen for half a pedal press. I could play around with the +/- keys on the fob but not had time. The City mode seems a lot more responsive than stock. Also seems good in Low mode. The last one Racing or Sport is nuts! Need a proper few runs to test it all out.

Not sure if my tinkering has upset it but it is now telling me it's due a service in 47 days. I collected it last September!!!
