BANG FOR YOUR BUCK UPGRADE: PEDAL COMMANDER FOR KIA K5

Pedal Commander for Kia K5

The Kia K5 offers a sleek design, a generous set of standard features, and sporty performance in the mid-size sedan segment. It is a well-equipped family car that offers excellent value for your money. How about improving its performance or fuel efficiency with the best bang-for-your-buck upgrade?

Meet Pedal Commander Throttle Controller, the easiest and most effective upgrade for your Kia K5. Pedal Commander eliminates the throttle lag and lets you customize your car’s throttle response with its 4 modes and 36 settings.

Also, Pedal Commander works perfectly with Kia K5’s submodels like: EX, GT, GT-Line, LX, LXS

DL3 (2021+) / (1.6L-2.5L)

The Kia K5 DL5 is a stylish family car in the mid-size sedan class. Offering the owners excellent value for their money, the Kia K5 can easily be improved to better suit your needs. Pedal Commander Throttle Controller is one of the simplest upgrades you can get for your Kia K5. It plugs between your car’s factory connectors and alters the throttle signal that reaches the ECU, to remove the initial throttle lag. With the delay gone, you can accelerate quicker, and with Pedal Commander’s 4 modes and 36 levels, you can fine-tune your K5’s throttle sensitivity.

WHAT IS THROTTLE LAG?

Why is There a Delay on the Accelerator Pedal?

When you first press down on the accelerator, there is a delay before anything actually happens. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) systems cause this as they take the signal from the accelerator pedal when you press it and send it to the vehicle’s ECU. All of this process causes a delay called throttle lag. Besides, manufacturers deliberately leave the delay there because it makes the vehicle suitable for various types of drivers.

Some may need such precautions, but the delay may become frustrating in some scenarios. Pedal Commander is the easiest and most effective solution for those who want power instantly.

By removing the delay, Pedal Commander enables you to use your car’s potential to the full. Instant power delivery will enhance the driving experience with your Kia K5 in many ways: Quicker acceleration and smoother drives, to name a few.

Pedal Commander can also be programmed to decrease the throttle sensitivity. A limited throttle response will improve your car’s fuel efficiency in relaxed highway drives, or congested city traffic where you don’t need too much power.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    GENERAL

    CAN I USE PEDAL COMMANDER SAFELY ON MY Kia K5 ?

    Pedal Commander is a throttle response controller. This means we are not exceeding or overpowering anything on your vehicle. So, it is pretty safe. However, safety depends on the driver. Don’t forget to warn the people in the vehicle about the speed they will encounter!

    MY Kia K5 HAS A WARRANTY, DOES PEDAL COMMANDER VOID IT?

    Not at all. The reason is, when you go to the service for any repair work on your Kia K5 , they will first scan your Kia K5 via a computer. Pedal Commander does not leave any traces on your vehicle. When you take your vehicle to your manufacturer for any reason or when you want to sell it, you can just disconnect the Pedal Commander, and it will be like it was never there!

    WILL I GET MORE HORSEPOWER WITH PEDAL COMMANDER?

    Pedal Commander does not increase your Kia K5 's horsepower, but the horsepower is not the important thing here! Even if you have a lot of horsepower, it means nothing if you can't reach it quickly. So, you never feel your Kia K5 's actual horsepower if you don't have Pedal Commander installed. After the Pedal Commander, you will see that the horsepower is not what really matters.

    I ALREADY DID SOME CHIP TUNING OR APPLIED TUNERS, IS PEDAL COMMANDER COMPATIBLE WITH THEM?

    Of course! Pedal Commander only behaves within the safety parameters of your vehicle engine. It doesn’t matter whether your Kia K5 is stock or already chipped. Pedal Commander is completely compatible with any other aftermarket parts you may already have. And since we don’t use the OBDII port, this means it’s a perfect match to compliment your existing tune or programmer to fully customize your driving experience.

    I DON'T WANT TO GO TO A MECHANIC, CAN I PLUG IT MYSELF?

    Absolutely. You don't have to go to any mechanic. This means no one will touch or ruin your Kia K5 . After you get the Pedal Commander, you only need to watch the installation video we put above on this page. As we said before, plugging in the Pedal Commander is as easy as plugging your smartphone into the charger.

    WHAT ABOUT FUEL ECONOMY? CAN I SAVE SOME FUEL WITH IT?

    Pedal Commander is not waterproof, but it is water-resistant. So keep that in mind.
