I have a Kakadu, can definitely feel the difference if you want a quick getaway from the traffic lights, but with the Kakadu the main difference is it stiffens up the suspension. Big difference between wallowing along in eco on a bumpy road and driving through some twisties in sport.

Yeah, with no KDSS the suspension won't change, but the steering definitely firmed up in sport mode.

After the 0 to 100 tests, and actual times, I reckon the main boost from sport is when already moving and accelerating... the 80 to 100 response (and 5 to 50) was really noticeable

I just placed an order on the switch for my VX after seeing your video. I imagine it’s like the Toyota factory version of an Ultimate 9 Throttle Controller with just one level for each mode instead of 9. Apart from that, I recommend driving in manual mode whenever towing and holding it in 4th gear when cruising in a 100km/h zone and only charging to 5th down a hill/slope. Also fitment of a transmission cooler and an ‘Ultragauge’ (or the like) to get an accurate transmission temp readout 👍

Nice Chris … looking forward to it. I was very surprised just how hot the transmission got and also how quickly when towing my fully loaded 15ft hybrid van especially when the engine was really working (up hills etc.) I guess because of the normal constant slippage in the transmission. Have you had your whole setup weighed to determine if you’re above board? This is something I need to do soon for safety and peace of mind. I did get a 3.5T pre-rego GVM upgrade done on my VX though when I first bought it so I do have some fat in the system 🤘

No, it is a remap of the throttle response, holds gear changes longer, but still automatic shift through all gears

Hey mate, yeah, it will pull the local limit of signs as I pass them... great fun in school zones outside school hours, I had to turn off the audible "you are over the speed limit" notifications so my car stopped screaming at me at 5.30pm in an 80 zone and the car thinks its 40... as for adding in settings, I think it would depend on what year your car is... I've not seen anywhere on mine to turn it off though

Looking at getting one for my VX as well A smart move may be to take it out if you are getting the vehicle serviced by Toyota or making any warranty claim for gearbox or engine. If Toyota did not fit it they will claim incompatability, they are very hard on third party accessories like throttle controllers.

Fair enough, only issue there, as others asked about the factory unit, "what about warranty", hard for Toyota to claim a factory part voids your warranty, 3rd party though is a different matter. But end of the day, we all have a bucket load of 3rd party gear on our cars, so may be a moot point
