Does anybody have an Idrive on their car?

As the topic heading Does anybody have an Idrive on their car? I purchased one for my car and think it's great but still trying to find the right setting.

A lot of ppl say that 4 is a good allround setting for the collie, I haven’t got one yet, but am seriously looking at one.

Yes at the moment running it on Ultimate4 which is quite responsive. I had it on AC at the start and the car was in like beast mode lucky there were no cops around :rofl:

Why iDRIVE?
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 and sends a signal to the vehicle's engine computer which converts to acceleration. Many of these fly by wire systems have a noticeable delay. iDRIVE allows you to tune the signal from the accelerator pedal with multiple inbuilt settings to ensure you find a setting that suits your driving style.
iDRIVE includes an automatic control function that changes the level of throttle performance based on pedal pressure. So if you are in traffic and accelerating gently the iDRIVE will select setting 1. If you are accelerating hard to overtake, towing a heavy trailer, or just having fun the iDRIVE will select 9. The result is the smoothest aftermarket control module on the market. We are so confident you will love your iDRIVE if you don't we will give you your money back.

How iDRIVE works?
The iDRIVE has multiple settings and ensures it suits everyones driving style.


Eco Mode ECO mode is designed for economy by reducing the accelerator response time. Also handy when you are on the 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 will automatically choose a reduced level of throttle response. If you accelerate hard for overtaking or just even just for fun the iDRIVE will choose a mode with an increased level of throttle response. Automatic Control mode is what makes iDRIVE the most intelligent throttle controller on the market.

never heard of it until now, will have to investigate, the subaru can do with a bit more grunt for sure...

let us know how you go with it.
I drive a triton at work and when you first put your foot down nothing... after about 2 seconds it kicks in and revs hard, its **** house coming out of an intersection if you need to be quick, the ute has reasonable power once the throttle responds so i'm thinking these throttle controllers might fix that.

They don’t give you more grunt, they just remove the lag in throttle response.

That’s exactly what they are designed to do. I drive a Colorado and it is exactly the same as you’ve described, it’s borderline dangerous, when towing the trailer as I do everyday.

They retail at about $300 I bought through a seller on ebay who has them for $243.99 but have them in a caravan parts section as well as car parts so you can use ebay discount codes, picked mine up for under $220 delivered
