Why use a SAAS-Drive Trottle Controller?
Rather than a traditional accelerator cable, many modern vehicles use "fly by wire" throttle technology.
This system relies on a sensor that measures the pedal pressure and position which then sends a signal to the vehicle's engine computer which converts to acceleration.
Most fly by wire systems have a noticeable delay.
SAAS-Drive allows you to tune the signal from the accelerator pedal with multiple inbuilt settings to ensure you find a setting to perfectly suit your driving style.

Other benefits include:
Plug and play fitment - fits in minutes
No wiring required = Easy install
Reduces response time between accelerator and throttle
6 distinct driving modes to choose from; (Comfort, Sports, Performance/Race, Economy, Normal/Original, Auto) - 9 levels to set in Comfort, Sports, Performance/Race & Economy, modes making for the most adjustable controller on the market!
Ideal for towing
Improved throttle control offroad
Improved throttle response for everyday use
Built in optional Anti-Theft Function

What makes SAAS-Drive different?
SAAS-Drive includes an automatic control function that automatically changes the level of throttle performance based on pedal pressure.
So, if you're in traffic and accelerating gently, the SAAS-Drive will automatically select setting 1. If you are accelerating hard to overtake, towing a heavy trailer, or just having fun the SAAS-Drive will automatically select 9 for you.

Featuring a 32-bit processor, SAAS-Drive features the largest and fastest processor on the market.

Finally, SAAS-Drive also features a built in security anti-theft function.
To help prevent theft, the unit has a built in immobiliser that will stop the vehicle from accelerating.
You can activate a user programmable pin code that means if someone starts your ride without the pin, the vehicle will enter a limp home mode and will not accelerate - providing additional peace of mind for your pride and joy. Note: This feature does not have to be used all the time, you can simply activate/deactivate whenever required.

The result is the smoothest and most intelligent electronic throttle controller on the market.

Automatic Control mode is what makes SAAS-Drive the most intelligent throttle controller on the market.

FAQ's:
How does it work?
The SAAS-Drive Throttle Controller modifies the voltage signal from the fly by wire pedal assembly to allow you to tune the response from your accelerator pedal. Additionally, the SAAS-Drive allows you to greatly reduce the dead zone from when you initially depress the pedal, commonly referred to as throttle lag. The SAAS-Drive does not plug into the OBDII port. The SAAS-Drive plugs directly into your pedal command module and can generally be installed in as little as 5 minutes.

Does SAAS-Drive increase power output?No, SAAS-Drive Throttle Controller does not increase power output. The SAAS-Drive has no control over fuel mapping, air to fuel ratio or injection timing. The SAAS-Drive simply changes the way your throttle responds, eliminating any lags or delays in the throttle system and sharpening response. It essentially gets rid of the feeling that there's a big wet sponge sitting underneath the accelerator pedal of most modern cars with the fly by wire system.

Is SAAS-Drive suitable for Towing?
Yes. Customers purchase the SAAS-Drive looking to get more usable response for towing tools, boats, etc upwards of 2.5 tonnes. The SAAS-Drive Throttle Controller is very useful for towing as it helps get your vehicle up to speed from a standing start while using less pedal effort, placing less strain on your motor and using less fuel. Especially handy around town where there is a lot of stopping and starting.

Is SAAS-Drive hard to install?
The SAAS-Drive Throttle Controller can be installed in under 2 minutes with no tools or technical knowledge required in the vast majority of vehicles. Every unit comes with a clear set of instructions that take you through a step by step installation.
