cant decide between this one and the hikeit. hikeit has faster processor and more features but idrive more been around for longer. Will you make a video of hikeit?
I hadnt herd of the hikeit, ill have a look at it and see if there is any major differences, but im sure there will be very little difference, these devices generally only have 1 function, the only thing that would make them stand apart is how easy they are to use or their presets. will let you know :)
@@AdamAbello i went ahead and got the hikeit with a discount code. no regrets. seems to run smoother than others i've tried but who knows. thanks for the great content.
@@benjaminbridges8655 Thanks for watching, good to hear you are enjoying the hikeit
Great News : Hikeit have come on board so i can do a side by side comparison, HIKEIT VS IDRIVE, i will put up a new review on both soon, thanks for your comment 😎 lets see how these compare.

Also doing a giveaway, dont need all these controllers
Fitted one of these to my 2017 Cruiser after a Steinbauer chip was installed. The chip gave it heaps more grunt but the IDrive gave it instant acceleration esp on U9 setting. Great purchase and definitely worth $299. You will not regret buying one of these
new review coming soon comparing a few top name brands
Is it good for the car to drive on U9 all the time?
I have one in my Ranger and its magic, such a huge difference to the performance.
Great bit of kit ay, getting another one for the 180kw touareg I have 💪
The iDrive throttle controller has turned my Wildtrak from a sluggish old mule into a venerable racing car on U9 mode. Worth every cent.
Only thing they do is make the response of the pedal there no power improvement or fuel savings don't bother with these
@@glennlarnach5764they're a throttle response unit. They take out the throttle lag. Accompanied with a tune they're very good and heaps cheaper than the torqit model
Your dreaming mate.
@@andreas1888 no they dont. They only do what your foot can do.
@@NicholasCox85 if you've owned one then i appreciate your opinion. But myself from experience couldn't fault it.. Threw one in the V8 cruiser and made a massive difference. Like i said, it's a throttle response unit, ie put foot down, shit responds quicker
Thanks for explaining the Kw and Nm details. That with the weight and asumedly 5 speed manual would pull anything.
You bet
Love my ultimate 9 EVC in my 2021 np300.... 💯 recommend
That's awesome, great bit of kit 👌
I own a 76 series (no tune) - U9 is mint for a non tuned vdj
Good Reviews man
New Subscriber
thanks for the feedback, i had fun making it. U9 is lots of fun
Your immediate reaction has made me step away from this. I was sceptical at best before I watched this. Even after your final comments I won’t be buying, for 300bucks I’d want to be overwhelmed with joy and laughs from the very first moment cheers for the honesty mate
Honestly they are a luxury, in saying that I wouldn't drive a car without one now.
@@AdamAbello I paid under $200 from Sparesbox. It’s made a noticeable difference to the running of my Navara.
Chris, his car was already tuned. Highly recommend for any untuned cars. I've driven a Ford Ranger and Pajero sport with one installed. Makes a tonne of difference.
@@ZeeDog27 There are plenty of options these days, hikeit x9 would be a better cheaper alternative, I have a vid on a comparison between both brands, affiliate link also for the hikeit. Its what I run now and discount code makes it so much better value then the idrive, check out my chan for the vid
hi mate with my idreve i found the double sider tap was shti so i glued it on and no problems since. it is awesome.ps my car is mazda bt 50 auto.
how do you think the idrive transformed your driving experience?
@@AdamAbello
Hi Adam the Idrive has transformed the way the car drives I can have the throttle respons any way I like. With it ion the highest setting it's like it has another 100 hp. Yes i know it has not but the way it takes of wow is all i can say it's no good up the bush though at that setting. All up Awesome.
Cheers Rory
@@roryderbyshire4630 lol you are not allowed to compare the difference on social media to having more horsepower, but at the end of the day that's how it feels imo. I only get bad feed back from people who havnt tried them mostly, thanks for your comment
Good Honest review Yes i have a tune as well so not sure if i will buy one.
hey if your happy with your daily drive then this is just a luxury to show of to your mates. I honestly dont even use it that much.....well until I go offroad! If you have an aggressive tune it really smooths out the power, brings it on nicer, sometimes I even use it in heavy traffic, just to calm down the engine. but like I said it's really a luxury, and now that I have one I wouldnt own a 4wd without it. it's just one of those things you have to try 😉
She goes like the friggin now myte!
lol, great bit of kit ay
Hi, Adam Abello I like your videos a lot and I am a subscriber because it helps me and others, if you don't mind can you give feedback or review throttle controllers like 9-drive, iDrive, and other throttle response controllers.
Regarding safety issues, My question is what if the throttle controller's device suddenly fails? or the little wire cut? Do we still have the control of gas pedal? or it will be back to normal mode? Thank you for hoping you can enlighten us. thank you again!
Hi mate, good question 👍 and probably better answered by each manufacturer, but if anything happen to your throttle cable with or without a controller on it you would loose all acceleration, if a controller was to play up I would expect you would feel it in the way your car was behaving contrary to how your controller should work. Remember you have bypassed the foot pedal so if the controller fails, it will not revert back to normal until you remove the controller.
Long story short, I expect they would be no less safer if they failed then if your throttle failed.
Good honest review.
noodlefoo thanks for your kind comment
does it still works now
Going strong 💪 why would you think it wouldn't still be working ???
What about fuel economy,no one seems to mention this and im curious to know.
Hi Bill, fuel economy is subjective. Just like every company claims that if you tune your vehicle you will have 15-20% increase in fuel economy.... but this rarely translates to real life savings.
Fuel economy savings always come back the driving habits, the idrive can help a driver curb bad habits by reducing sensitivity of the throttle (eco mode) .. but if you are using ultimate mode you will be able to use more fuel.
Just like when you tune your vehicle you have all this extra power at your disposal and its hard not to use it. :)
@@AdamAbello Sorry to be a kill joy Adam but you are wrong! You have NO! EXTRA POWER! at your disposal & you will use NO! more fuel, other than you stomping on the peddle because you think you have more power. Get this straight people who are buying these things! All its doing is making your thottle response more sensitive! That's it! And if any salesmen is telling you different, he is lying to make a sale. If your mate is telling you shit, like "its got heaps more grunt now man" Tell him to get of the drug's & get a proven, reputable chip or dyno tune. Then & only then will you unleash some hidden power from these sluggish, under tuned, V8 diesels. Just bear in mind, the more power you extract, the more fuel you will use, the greater the explosion, the greater the heat, the greater the wear & tear. It's the law of physics & no one! can deny it. Not even some tuner telling you otherwise, they are lying to sell a product. Toyota's engineers tuned these engine's to give modest power with long reliable sevice life. If we Increase power, we decrease service life & use more fuel. THATS THE WAY IT IS!!!
@@hartzland7658 🤣😂 you completely miss read the comment, throttle controllers do no give you extra power, no one has ever said that, you are 100% completely right it increases your throttle responsiveness.
A more responsive throttle will increase fuel consumption, a less responsive throttle will decrease fuel consumption. Again thank you for your input in the conversation 👍
@@AdamAbello most people do say and believe you actually make more power, which is incorrect.
These only do what your foot can do!!
@benicecunt o.k. Here's a better idea, your a fucken weirdo, now piss off & try to make some sense elsewhere.
Quick question brother which is suitable for the land cruiser 79 series 2015 V8 the EVC171 or the EVC161?
171 mate. The 161 is for the 2007-2009 landcruisers. 171 is for eveything made after 2009
Jesterscruiserlife thanks bro, just wanted to make sure that I got the right device for my car.
Hi Adam thanks for the video. I have a diesel ute and If I depress the pedal it has about 1 second delayed response and then the ute accelerates. If I install iDrive, would the delay be gone and the ute will accelerate as soon as you depress the pedal?
depends what the delay is, it just makes your pedal more responsive, ie 100 throttle with 10% press of the pedal, on ultimate mode. if you have turbo lag this will not revome it but might make it more tolerable
Absolutely best suited to turbo engines. Works great on my Pajero Sport in a straight line on bitumen in red anything above u4 induces wheel spin.
This is what they are designed to do 👌 you will still have turbo lag but it will be tolerable
Hey bro, quick one does this void warranty?
Does not leave any trave in the ECU so no it doesnt
Waste of money, no power increase as people seem to think. Just makes your peddle touchy, couldn't get it off fast enough. Glad I didn't buy one.
I found with a stock Ute it made the world of difference, however with a tuned Ute, I rarely use it on the road, mostly EC mode around the tracks, it is a very expensive luxury agreed, each to their own
@@AdamAbello Just interested, when you say a "world of difference" what difference do you think you are feeling? My 79 was stock & I felt no power increase, just a touchy accelerator peddle. When I installed a Torquit chip! now that made a world of difference.
@@hartzland7658 2 different worlds I would never recommend a fuel rail chip not a fan at all. having more feel in the peddle gave the Ute a more responsive feel, they never claim to give more power just better access to the power you have... imo
@@AdamAbello Think you better do a little more research. Quality, proven chips do a little more than just up the rail pressures & are well within the safe parameters of these V8's. Just because Dyno tuners talk up their products, doesn't mean they are any safer. All power increases come at a cost but if I am going to pay my hard earned on something, its gotta be worth it, not just snake oil rubbish.
thanks for taking the time to watch and sharing your experience, much appreciated
Your car is so slow and so noisy. My 4cyl TD Pajero Sport is faster and quieter and the idrive is an awesome piece of kit especially when towing my 2 tonne caravan. How many Kw does that V8 of yours have? How much before tuning? Just appears so slow no offence.
thanks for your comment wayne no offence taken, the v8 cruisers are not race cars, not in anyway, they are designed to pull your pajero sport and 2 tonne caravan when you break down. they are torque monsters not speed demons, I think at the time of this vid the cruiser had 140kw and 680nm on 20ish psi around 2200rpm, but don't quote me on that. yes it was very loud, 3 inch straight through does that
@@AdamAbello Awesome reply mate! I wonder if Wayne would swap his crappy old Pajero for your cruiser....
