Pedal Commander® Controlador de Respuesta del Acelerador Para Mercedes Clase CLA

I spent a great deal of time researching the options to address the persistently annoying throttle lag on my once new CLA45 AMG. The only regret I have is that I didn’t buy a pedal commander sooner. It fixes everything with the car. If you are new to Mercedes, a perk of purchasing a new AMG is one full day of driving school. AMG Driving school. This is where you are taught to drive within the limits of an AMG. In their cars. There’s maybe 100 students at a legendary racetrack near you. (Closest one for me was a few states away). There’s some 5 stations. One is trying to drift/slide the car sideways—then accelerate out of the drift while staying on the track (all 4matic and drive-control features need to be turned off on the C63’s they gave us to do this one). Another station is drag-racing one AMG vs. another. Another is “get the fastest lap [in your group] on a mini-course. Another is weaving an SL through cones (fastest time in your group gets Award at the end). Well, all I can say is that by the end of the day you have driven every top of the line MB AMG they have that year. At each station: 12 new Benz’s: “pick a car” — (Yellow, Blue, Silver, Black?) — only difference is the color. Can you imagine? Many you drive at full gallop. “Rode hard and put it away wet.” If/When you go flying off the side of the track in that drift thing, you get a disapproving shake of the head: “Go, back — do it again! (Until you get it right).” How does this relate to Pedal Commander, you ask? Well, while my AMG — the 2014 CLA 45, was the newest “baby benz” that year—it was also the newest AMG. That meant the fastest. (0-60 mph). Pedal Commander reduces my biggest/only complaint re the vehicle : the throttle lag. Comparative added value of a Pedal Commander (addition in driving improvement) vs any of the other AMGs? $40K? $50K? It’s hard to say (they’re quite different cars across their line up). I’d easily think $20K mark-up in a take one “with pedal commander home for a day,” vs. one without for a day, (same car, you’re blinded to price). Pick which tastes better Coke or Pepsi — I mean which car did you prefer? So you tell them the one. )I.e. the one you prefer in the drive test. Then they show you one is $50k and other is $67K. Here’s what I’m saying… I think the driving and performance improvement is noticeable (between a car with or without pedal commander). I believe the majority would prefer the “better” car (by which I mean the one with extra upgrades for $17K which as test driver you were blind to). Ah, “Tada!” … “I thought this one would be the more expensive one!” Now the entire issue is, of course, “who cares?” [I mean I do, but this isn’t about me]. Opinions can be all over the place. — As in,first of all it’s hard to lose with ANY AMG.” (They’re all pretty awesome). So does your current car need any enhancing anyway? Also, is the $17K upgrade worth what you get for the money? [To me — NO, probably not]. What I mean is “pick your option packages judiciously.”] — When I bought my car I didnt have any extra $17k lying around. If the price to me were “a lot less” than &17 K “Let’s talk!” For instance I regret I didn’t get the alacantra steering wheel. (A $2k upgrade when ordering). So, Pedal Commander for $299? Worth it? ALL DAY EVERY DAY!! Yes. It’s easy to install. I was considering the “extra HP” package. If I ever need any more than the roughly 335hp I’ll turn to PC. (And in case you’re going to tell me I’m wrong re: performance of car — the next iteration or “refresh” of the AMG C class beat their prior one and of course the 2014 CLA45).

Major change in my CLA. It now kicks down and shifts much faster, is quicker off the line and this eliminates the shudder at a crawling start.

A must! On a Cla250 2015, works like a beauty…. A little difficult to install but a 10/10

I have a cla 250 base model and the the pedal commander really brings the car to life! Great purchase highly recommended!

2015 MB CLA250 throttle lag delete thanks to pedal commander and yes works excellent now I feel my car much better when I press gas pedal
