You made me a convert. I'm buying the pedal box for my Jimny. Thank you.

[@DavidMaximilianCathmoirNicoll]

Great video, very clear. LOVE YOUR DAD!

[@FranzGaw]

thanks!

[@mr.hammer4939]

It's seems that city, sport and sport plus are have the same result. Parang bogus lng Yun madaming settings/mode. But actually it just have 1 setting. Thank you for the review

[@abehbehani89]

What screen do you have installed?

[@FranzGaw]

Product Tech Specs: - DTE Systems - PedalBox - Developed and Manufactures in Germany - TUV Certified - 2 years Product Warranty - Php 18,000 without app - Php 19,000 with app - Better acceleration and more driving fun!

[@csgonzales1103]

Can you try it on your jazz?

[@FranzGaw]

@@csgonzales1103 this one is specifically for the Jimny so I can't plug it on the Jazz. I got to try a PedalBox on a Ford Fiesta before and it worked the same way if that is your concern. 😁

[@toppalacay2643]

Hello! Have you calibrated first the throttle before using? I’ve watched a review coming from parts pro ph a while ago and they mentioned that it should be calibrated first to the car’s throttle before using.

[@FranzGaw]

@@toppalacay2643 yup we did. The PedalBox still works even if you don't do the calibration though, but it might not be as focused as a calibrated unit.

[@glennbaitan9563]

Assuming it was installed on isuzu dmax, and planning to remove and transfer the kit to nissan navara is it possible?

[@angelosarsaba7541]

Bro i have a question, is it transferable to other car? For example, ive installed pedalbox on our Navara, can I use it also on our everest?

[@seniorbrusko]

Just installed mine on Jimny too, legit night and day difference ng stock and city mode (lalo na sport+)

[@FranzGaw]

Yes, the response is a lot better

[@SC0410]

Any import duty to bring this in Singapore?

[@MLAGG10N3]

i am getting this soon for my 2020 Kia Rio 1.4 100 PS ... also i would advise you bro to install one of the K&N Air Filters. It's ''cheap'' way to increase your engine power by 2-5 PS and 3-7 N.m of torque :))) I am getting these two for my car.

[@FranzGaw]

I have a video where I did a K&N filter test. Not much gains unless you tune the car.

[@MLAGG10N3]

@@FranzGaw well I cannot tune my car too much as it’s my wife’s car currently I drive it. Plus there is no currently ECU tune available for my car. I would do it gladly. For now I Just want a bit more throttle response slightly bigger punch. Which is why I will also install PedalBox to increase response time of the throttle pedal.

[@Blade-Thing]

A full stock jimny has hardly any lag on it all. The car is so light the engiine doesnt need much to go on in terms torque.

[@FranzGaw]

this is arguable. I've talked to a bunch of owners who think otherwise but to each his own I guess

[@user-wr7pp5fh6b]

As we all know the Montero or maybe all the diesel SUVs are sluggish at the start would this pedal box somehow make a difference?

[@abraraniz9286]

Sir kumusta pedal box OK pa ba hanggang ngayon?

[@epic6358]

Does it work with the suzuki jimny 2018 1.3 engine?

[@FranzGaw]

I am not sure. We dont have that engine here in the Philippines for the JB74.

[@BuAzeez]

Thank You.. but if you have a chance please post another video more clear how to install it.. Best of Luck!

[@FranzGaw]

Hello, the installation is actually as easy as what was shown in the video. You disconnect the throttle pedal from the harness, and slip in the PedalBox in between the harness and throttle pedal. You can do it in less than 1 minute without using any tools.

[@bi946]

Can you try on the 2017 Suzuki Jimny

[@FranzGaw]

Not sure if it will work. Best to ask DTE's Facebook page! 😊

[@andre.pelser.9496]

What had better results ECU or Pedal-box ?? Thanks

[@FranzGaw]

ecu

[@mr.hammer4939]

Jimny is nice

[@nicolasricaurte9013]

hello, could you help me, I want to buy but I don't know which one is compatible with the suzuki jimny, where can I buy it in amzon USA.

[@FranzGaw]

they don't have the Jimny in USA so you probably can't find it there

[@moisesvaldez703]

Hola buen video, una pregunta, al poner pedalBox aumenta significativamente el consumo de gasolina? Grácias, saludos desde Guatemala

[@FranzGaw]

fuel consumption is the same. It all depends on how heavy your foot is

[@ahkam3307]

What is that below your back window? Build-in box?

[@FranzGaw]

which one?

[@kebeankosme1434]

For what kind of car is it applicable/compatible?

[@FranzGaw]

Hello. You can visit the PedalBox website and see the full list of cars that they cater to. They have a unit for almost every car!

[@oscarsobrevilla21]

Is normal in jimny jb74, when i press pedal a bit dont increse the rpm until press 1cm or two (without pedalbox). I am considering buy a pedalbox.

[@dobiebear5701]

Throttle lag. Common to new cars with drive by wire

[@kooob81]

y did you u choose that compared to topspeed trottle controller?

[@FranzGaw]

never got to try the topspeed throttle controller yet

[@markp4044]

LoL talking to your childhood crush. Supa dupa nice

[@FranzGaw]

thanks!

[@rrtwikz]

whats next upgrade? greddy exhaust? :p

[@FranzGaw]

great timing. The next upgrade is happening next week. Stay tuned!

[@mariuszcharusta1485]

In your opinion is it worth to buy it?

[@FranzGaw]

for the Jimny, definitely!

[@MohMohMoh54]

I install it .. but now it shows check engine on the dashboard ?!!! Did u solve it out

[@FranzGaw]

Maybe you got the wrong unit for your car?

[@christophztype529]

Never change the modus when you put your throttle down thats maybe why

[@jessiedelantar4710]

Hey Franz, hindi ako nka bili ng jazz n gusto ko, RUSH nlang for practical side.. Pwede b yan s toyota rush???

[@FranzGaw]

Not sure if may pang Rush ba ganito. Pleas contact DTE systems Philippines to inquire or PedalBox. 🙂

[@jbguinocor1900]

sir does it void the warranty of the car?

[@FranzGaw]

it doesnt

[@ricardotejadadba3653]

🔥 do you still use it? How long did you use it? I have a Jimny and I’m on the fence of getting this. Should I?

[@FranzGaw]

we dont use it anymore ever since we got an ecu tune

[@ricardotejadadba3653]

@@FranzGaw hey thank you for the reply! How long did you use it for? Any troubles? And would you recommend getting it?

[@theo_konstantinou]

For swift sport 2015 ?

[@FranzGaw]

I think they have it. Best to inquire with your local DTE retailer

[@mattsee45]

I thought you weren’t allowed to drive it hahahaha

[@FranzGaw]

I thought so too

[@JV_05R6]

Weren’t you the one I was playing with in quirino, you came from san marcelino? Last month? I was in a Mitsubishi Lancer, silver color. I might be wrong.

[@FranzGaw]

Probably a different Jimny you were playing with. Believe it or not, I enjoy driving slow with this car more than going fast. 😂

[@JV_05R6]

frnzptrck but it’s fast tbh

[@FranzGaw]

"fast" is relative. We coudnt reach 100kph below 14 seconds so I wouldnt call this fast. 🤷‍♂️

[@JV_05R6]

frnzptrck wrong word, I mean it’s like a kid? Ano siya, like, bibo.

[@FranzGaw]

@@JV_05R6 agreeing on its "bibo-ness"

[@rayspl]

Manual jimny?

[@FranzGaw]

Automatic

[@DaLipmunkzOfficialYT]

Jimny owner here, natawa ako dun sa "can't do a hundred and we're running out of roads" totoo naman. 😂😅😁🤣

[@FranzGaw]

the truth hurts :(

[@agusmaulanaramdhono5265]

Hi from indonesia

[@FranzGaw]

Hello from the Philippines

[@jevyramos]

I recently purchased a pedal box for my 2017 Montero, but the installer advised that when changing settings, the transmission must be set to P. kasi nung first test namin biglag nag labasan fault codes ko sa instrument panel tapos akala ko nasira yung transmission ko kasi grAbe yung narinig ko. Off ko yung pedal box tapos naka check engine sya need ko pa pa clear ulit yung warning sign na check engine

[@FranzGaw]

Please check if the installation was done correctly. You shouldn't have any problems switching settings even as you are driving the car. If fault codes continue to show up, maybe its best to return the product and get your money back

[@jevyramos]

@@FranzGaw thank you. Regards kay uncle peter

[@makersfly]

Hi sa gas comsumption kaya nito? Mag increase kaya o same same pa din? Tnx more power

[@FranzGaw]

Depende pa din sa tapak ng driver

[@jay-fl4pv]

Jimmy is not for speed. it's for off road. make it slower by bigger tire and front and rear lockers also change gearing. some time less response with smoth response is better in off road.

[@FranzGaw]

It really depends on how the owner uses his/her car. I can assure you 90% of Jimny owners locally would only use their car in city driving, so this PedalBox should also be relevant for quite a lot of people.

[@jay-fl4pv]

very true. unless doing dune, mud and beach drive is done often enough. also where self recovery needed. where iam self recovery is very important.

[@zaram2682]

You are not using the Pedal Box properly!! when you are in any of the levels you could up the sensitivity even more by using the + on the controller!! You should re do the review again and adjust it as it should be adjusted.

[@FranzGaw]

Thanks for the tip! I actually knew about that and tried it off-camera. I was happy with the presets of PedalBox already so I didn't need to adjust the +/- anymore.

[@printship007]

Pero hindi nmn sya design for speed diba...

Yung alin?
