Commander allows you to receive quicker access to your engine's existing
power so that you can accelerate faster than ever before.

MODES
ECO MODE
Allows you to maximize fuel economy
by up to 20% over the stock ratings. It
significantly slows the response so
ECO mode also allows for better
traction over various terrains (rain,
snow, mud, dirt, etc.) and doubles as a
valet mode to keep others from
accelerating over a certain rate.
To activate Eco mode, press and
hold the main star button for 3
seconds.
CITY MODE
Gives you a more active, linear throttle
response, perfect for everyday driving.
This offers you a response of an "old
school" throttle cable; a 1:1
pedal-to-throttle acceleration ratio.
SPORT MODE
Our spirited driving mode. Not for the
light-hearted. This is our highest
suggested mode for around-town
driving. 70% faster signal than stock.
SPORT+ MODE
Extreme mode! Gives any vehicle the
response and acceleration of a race
car, allowing you to get up and go
with ZERO lag from your ECU. Perfect
for track and race use.
Please use it with caution!
DO NOT change modes while your foot is on the gas pedal.
