The Pedal Commander removes the factory throttle lag built into your Audi A3's drive-by-wire system. Modern vehicles intentionally delay throttle response for fuel economy compliance — on the road and off it, that gap translates to sluggish, imprecise acceleration. Pedal Commander replaces that lag with immediate, configurable response across 36 sensitivity settings, giving you the A3's power exactly when you ask for it.
Four driving modes let you match the response to the situation: City for smooth daily driving, Sport for spirited road use, Sport+ for maximum sensitivity, and Eco for efficient cruising. Available for 5 configurations — select the correct generation and engine at checkout.
