For those asking, some on the forums are experiencing problems after a while because of the voltage in connection to the sensor. Ending up in an expensive repair bill. Not all users are experiencing this but some are which is a cause for concern. Same risk with most aftermarket products, some have issues, most don't.

I drive a 2001 Honda Prelude and yesterday took one of these Lexus for a test drive at the dealership.. I thought there was a problem because when I press the gas pedal 1/4 of the way down the car wasn't moving. I have instant acceleration on my Prelude. It is a nice car.. still unsure if I'm going to trade in the Prelude for this.
@grump1662 Жыл бұрын
Did you throw it in sport mode? It changes the pedal resolution & trans tune thus giving you the response you’re looking for. I have a 19 is300, and I’m okay with it. It is annoying that you really need to hammer the pedal down to get it where other cars mostly are already at. I think it’s just a way for Toyota to get their epa numbers and maybe the reliability points…. I still love the car, if I wanna boogie, I’ll throw her in sport.

When you turn the car off the unit turns off as well, when the car turns back on the unit is off and you would need to click it on manually, it is left stock if not turned on.

Reference the connector that came from apexi there should be one that’s identical to the oem one that connects to the gas pedal , there’s a small tab you have to push or lift (I forget) but it’s really hard to do if you don’t know where the tabs are , it helps to connect and reconnect the harness to itself just to get an idea of how to connect /remove it before trying it on the pedal
