This is the i-Drive which I've just been advised has a name change for AU.
I have one in my 2.7 D4 and its brilliant - gets rid of the lag completely and you have a range of 4 options to suit your driving style including automatic and off, and 9 graded options within each of economy and performance.

I-drive.
Brilliant.
I have one in the D4 set on "U-2" which I find is sensitive enough for me for road use.
Highly recommended and you can play with many settings to suit your driving style.
I don't notice any hesitations at all.

Do they just loop into the pedal assembly ?, current price is a lot cheaper than a remap.

Just downloaded the instructions, might buy myself a xmas present


I know it wont have the same affect as a remap but for the price its worth a test.

I bought the HIKEit X9 for the sluggish off the mark I was experiencing and WOW it changed that.
It just loops into the pedal connector, easy as to fit.
It doesn't do anything for actual power or torque gains like a remap but gets rid of the lag that some of us suffer from.

I have both - it makes a big difference to response. The remap gives the torque and power.

Cheers for the replys sounds like a goer

I had one of these throttle controllers on my D4 and i was really impressed with the improvement to performance, then it all went t o hell after an hour of driving. It came up with transmission fault, limp mode and the car would crawl to a stop. The racq came up with the code P2122-16 and P2127-16 throttle/ pedal position sensor input to low, and P2290.00 injector controll pressure to low. I dont know if this was related to the controller or not but it did it again after the controller was removed. Investigations are ongoing.

Did you have an I-drive controller or one of the cheap and nasty ones?
If it is an I-drive and the fault is associated with it, I have no doubt that they'll help you as their Product Support is excellent.
