Mr. Bob I really appreciate you making fantastic video for our Lexus GX460, you are so through with the process, explaining in the most simplest way! I love your sense of humor! I've learned how to change my oil from you...thank you so much for doing what you do for our GX460 community! Also I've ordered this super acceleration module as soon as I watched your video 📹...Love you sr!

Bob as usual awesome video. Question does this controller actually remap the engine response or is it just making the gas pedal more sensitive. Not understanding what is actually occurring to engine. Also BTW bought the window and mirror plug in to make mirrors collapse and windows to go down and up and it’s pure genius. Let me know your thoughts about throttle control. Thanks and keep vids coming!

Hey! So the throttle response controller allows you to use less power to accelerate if that makes sense. Over time your foot and calf will thank you on long trips. Even in short trips i feel like I’m driving a Porsche. And yes your gas pedal will become more sensitive versus the old Lexus signal delay that was built in to the oem mapping.

Hey Bob! Drivers side seat clunk? It seems to happen ever other drive or so. LOUD clunk, almost sounds like bolts might be loose? I've read of the squeek, (clublexus), but this is a loud clunk.

Hey Jeffrey, not sure if you are the original owner or how old your suv is, but i would almost bet that your seat was removed at one point and wasn't put back properly. There are many reasons why your seat could have been removed, one is the upholstery was initiated that can lead to many many parts and hardware being loose afterwards. Another reason is the drivers seat is the most used seat in the entire vehicle which, (with age and friction of sliding in and out) can cause things to come loose over time. I would remove the 4 bolts holding your seats down , tilt it back, and start wiggling things around underneath your seat as a starter. And i don't mind you coming on to ask questions. Thanks for joining the community!

Joseph, i use my throttle response controller on a daily basis and have not had the issues you are describing. Those issues are independent of your throttle signals to your ECU. If you want to do process of elimination, disconnect the throttle response and drive your truck around for a couple of days to see if the problem persists or if the problem goes away.

Have you checked them out? They cracked the GX ECU and already have some tunes out there too. Reach out and see if they will sponsor you and you can give your real world analysis on a real deal tune vs plug in throttle control!

I have to assume the opposite will happen in mpg's but the difference will be so miniscule that it won't matter to people like you and me because we're filthy rich. So the answer is no you won't save gas but i doubt you'd waste gas either since the sensitivity compensates for using a heavy foot on your gas pedal just to get it moving. Thats the tradeoff if understand what i'm saying.

Hey Grigor, that would be an interesting test. Unfortunately, i have no way of testing that without recreating your circumstance because other systems are involved (cruise control). Even if a throttle response doesn't improve your issue, at least you would have paid for what its intended for - a quicker take off. Try it out and maybe reach out to the folks at Beatsonic with your questions.

To answering your first question, you have to set it while you’re near the suv because it sets thru the control button or with the bluetooth capability of your phone app. It stays on the last setting you leave it on via memory.

I agree. The good thing is the Beat Sonic provides an app that syncs with your throttle unit so you can play around with the parameters to best suit your needs. The dashboard switch is defaulted at 25% which is what i set it on and i found that perfect for my type of driving. The app is real time and i can feather my throttle in a split second when needed to.

Hello bob my famous Lexus gentlemen, after I watch the movie clip install the throttle, I just wonder when you drive the car, would you leave the ECO GREEN LIGHT ON OR TURN OFF from the factory setting i think for gas saving, thank you bobs,

Well tommy, why don’t you try driving one week with eco mode on and drive one week with eco mode off. Calculate the difference in mpg’s between the two. While you’re at it, feel the difference in throttle response between the two settings.

Since its so easy to remove the start button panel, it gave me an idea. If you have to park at a remote trailhead or campsite and leave the truck unattended for an extended period, remove the panel and unplug the starter relay. Then place the panel and switch in your backpack and take it with you. Can anyone think of a reason why this would not work?

I want to say the wires behind the starter button creates a loop or disconnect when you shut off your engine. I also want to say it is connected to your factory's oem security system. If you remove that component, we would not know that disconnect would affect other parts of your vehicle. Great idea though. But then again, my relay set up does the same thing except its worry free. I don't have to remember to take the button out and to either hide it somewhere or carry it with me and God forbid, i forget where i left it last. Now i'm stuck with a truck that won't start because its missing a starter button.

BOB good morning ☀️ i was wondering if i could bypass and not install the switch at all i would like to use this for anti-theft purposes i would install the unit not install the switch and disable the throttle from the app after i park i would then enable the throttle before i take off, when i’m gonna drive the vehicle would that work ? pray for me, parking in NYC streets also what kind of range would i have over the app ? could i be 10-20 miles away ? or would i have to be next to the vehicle to operate the app functions ? Thank you!

no, it does not. Your Lexus vehicle already has a similar unit but with default settings. All this does is replace the factory unit with one that allows you to change the settings yourself manually. This is plug and play meaning, you can always remove it and put it back to OEM very easily.

Hey Daniel! Any and all throttle response controllers weren’t meant for improved fuel economy so I’m assuming your question is how bad will my mpg’s get. To be very honest, I’ve kept my settings on eco mode and haven’t seen any major difference to my mpg. I’m guessing the quicker throttle response is efficiently burning your fuel right away as opposed to sucking your fuel during the initial lag time to get your vehicle to initially move. Not sure if that makes sense. I don’t have numbers documented but at the same time i didn’t buy my GX for the awesome gas mileage either. 😊

@@GXBOB Thanks for the quick reply. I have been getting better mileage then I hear most people report. I usually get between 13 to 21 MPG and I use premium grade gas almost exclusively. With regular I get 13 no matter city or highway so I don't use regular unless I have to. The reason for my question was that last year I drove 26,000 miles so it is a major consideration to me. I have followed your videos and done them on my GX. Mostly the LED change overs. I'm getting to the mileage where replacing the fluids is going to be a requirement. So keep them coming.

On 2 lane road people think they still have a lot more power left, however when push pedal to the metal nothing happens. We had lots of head on accidents. In few Eastern European countries they banned these.
