Roar Pedal

Anybody have any comments on a Roar Pedal? Similar to Pedal Commander but totally wireless. https://roarpedal.com/products/roar-pedal-controller

Why would you want to add anything wireless into the throttle circuit?

 

[HighvelJL]

The pedal connection is still a box that plugs in between the vehicle cable and the pedal. The wireless is between the control box at the pedal and the mode selector box. Pedal Commander and others have a cable connecting the 2

It doesn't look like it's wireless. It plugs into the OBD-II port.

Wild claims like +20% fuel efficiency very much feel like snake oil though.

Here we go again…

Not the same product but here’s a fun thread: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/banks-pedal-monster-review.159375/

I have 2. One on my 24 Wrangler Rubicon X, and one on my wife's 24 Gladiator Mojave X. Love them. They make a HUGE difference.

1. The only thing wireless is the remote control to make the adjustments, which can be done on the fly, as you drive.

2. You unplug the connector at the throttle pedal, plug the Roar pedal harness output connector into the throttle pedal connector, then plug the Jeep wiring harness connector into the other Roar pedal (input) connector. Extremely simple. Takes less than 30 seconds to install.

3. All new cars have a TON of latency (lag) built into their "drive-by-wire" technology. There is no cable going from the throttle pedal to the throttle body on the engine. It is all sensors and wiring. The manufacturers program lag in so the car doesn't feel so jumpy, but for us performance enthusiasts they just feel lazy... The Roar pedal allows you to adjust that lag out. We drive ours daily and are typically set to Race level 1 (Race level 9 is the hottest setting, with ZERO lag)... Love it. Every other car I drive feels sluggish, and I work at Mercedes and drive fancy cars daily...

After living through the Toyota stuck throttle years, I can not figure out why in a trillion years why anyone would put something aftermarket in the loop between the pedal and the actual throttle

I have a hard enough time trusting the massive multinational corporation that has billions to put into the development of the throttle mechanisms and circuitry. How would I ever trust something someone made in their garage or outsourced to be assembled in the lowest cost electronics manufacturer in Taiwan?

And now you're going to add wireless in the mix? I'd laugh but these people are driving on the same roads I am

Might work but then you have to tell all the boys you have a Rawrrr pedal.
