PEDAL COMMANDER for Jeep Renegade 2015-2023 Throttle Response Controller - Fits Sport, Latitude, Limited, Trailhawk, Upland, High Altitude, Jeep Renegade Accessories

-- Before Pedal Commander --My 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk 2.4L had become one of those things that I was hoping I would somehow not be underwater on my loan any longer so that I could trade it in. Don't get me wrong, it is a nice looking vehicle and comfortable. That is about where it ended though as it was no longer fun to drive and the lag between when my foot hit the pedal and when the vehicle finally took off at times seemed like I was letting fate take the wheel. Merging onto an interstate highway where most other drivers are already going 80+ MPH was dangerous and at times a white-knuckle experience until getting up to speed.-- The Install--The install took me no more than 10min ---- the biggest issue that I had was figuring out how to get the gas pedal connector off so that I could put the Pedal Commander on . . . [Hint: When you look up under your dashboard and look near the top of the gas pedal, you will see the connector and it will have a dark brown/burgundy color plastic piece that you should be able to see pretty easily. Grab the connector by the left and right sides and gently pull toward you, once it starts to move a little you should be able to get a fingernail or something small near the side that is facing you to finish pulling --- then just lift the connector up off of the top of the pedal. Repeat in reverse for the Pedal Commander connector.].-- The Outcome --I want to keep my Renegade! The pickup that I am now experiencing is like nothing I have ever experienced in my Renegade before. It is like I have a whole new vehicle and it is fun to drive! I currently have mine set for City 3. A couple of months ago, I test drove a 2018 Jeep Compass and was surprised to find out that they have the same engine and transmission as the Renegade, but the software has been tuned so the lag is pretty much gone. My Renegade, with the Pedal Commander, now seems to have even more takeoff than that 2018 Jeep Compass that I test drove. I honestly, with all sincerity in the world, am so happy with my Renegade now and it's all thanks to the Pedal Commander. I am so impressed! This is how my Renegade should have driven from the day I purchased it!

So I had originally purchased the Hypertech React throttle controller for my Renegade last year and it worked pretty good until it failed on me out of nowhere and put me into limp mode. I was just going to do without and move on, but after a month of being back to stock AND taking a road trip out of state, I missed having a responsive throttle like nothing else. So instead of buying another Hypertech, I moved on to Pedal Commander and WOW! This packs even more punch than the Hypertech. On the old unit, I had it maxed out and it did the trick. This one I have to dial it back to “city mode”and it takes off plenty fast. I still need to drive it around for a week or so before final verdict and fine tune it, but first impression is this is a serious upgrade all around.

My pedal commander is amazing ! I installed it on a 2017 Jeep renegade trailhawk . I had a had time installing it, there wasn't much room to work with above the accelerator pedal , and the teeny tiny instruction booklet sucked. I had to watch you tube videos to figure out how to install it. My jeep kept giving me a check engine code, had to reset it . If you have the same problem what you have to do is re-install the original accelerator plug, open the driverside door for 15 minutes , then reinstall the pedal commander and the engine light should go away.Customer service for pedal commander was horrible, cost them 1 star. But, the control itself is absolutely amazing. I like city mode the best. It does use more gas though, but its worth it. Sport mode makes the pedal very sensitive. It really feels like a 6 cylinder even though it doesn't increase horsepower.

Just got this thing for my renegade trailhawk 2021 and I'm rather impressed. I had to play with sport mode maxed out and while there is still the annoying turbo lag from the 1.3. It is shorter than before and Holy crap get ready for some white knuckles when it responds and takes off like a stabbed rat. The install is simple enough but I had to basically do some yoga poses to get my 250 pound frame under the console to disconnect the stock plug and attach the new system. The wire conveniently tucks away under the center console and the included velcro patches helped secure it to the wall of the center console. I'll update this as I continue to use it but so far I am a believer 😌.

This definitely gives me a better get up and go from a stop light.The installation was pretty straight forward. The hardest part is figuring out how to secure the cable. Also, when installing, make sure and keep your FOB’s a good distance away from the vehicle. I took the fobs batteries out as well just for good measure.The performance is noticeably better at the light. However, it’s less significant at the on-ramp, which is what I was really hoping for in terms of responsiveness. Still, I do think there is marginal improvement and the renegade could us all the help it can get when it comes to acceleration and response time.

Alright, I’m not one for reviews and I’m the biggest skeptic you’ll ever meet. Just like every other person here, I love the renegade but HATE how slow the stock pedal response is. Every time I hate the gas, it would take like three seconds to get up to speed. That made left turns super tedious and Ive never been so close to death. As you might have imagined, I was hesitant to try this, but I decided why not and gave it a try. Let me tell you something.It’s awesome.The installation literally took less than five minutes. Literally just plug and play. Now you can control it from your phone, so if you’re like me and wanted to hide the controller, you can. As for the new throttle response, it’s exactly like it should be and better. I’ve got mine on Sport +3, and she guns like a corvette. What more can I say? If you’re tired of the stock renegade’s slow getup, this is definitely worth the price!!
