Pedal Commander Anti-Theft Update

[holler-plugin]

I downloaded the Pedal Commander app finally after only using the device physically for about a year. Turns out they just started rolling out a new anti-theft feature that lets you lock/unlock throttle via your phone and Bluetooth.

It does oddly cost $1 a month, but it doesn’t seem that bad to me. I can’t use it much currently as I have valet parking but in a month or two I will have regular garage or street parking and will be using it daily.

If my phone ever dies or this feature fails to undo, I know I can just unplug it and plug the throttle back in like normal to resume function. With that being said I also attempted to hide the device in the passenger side dash now to make it hard to trace or notice.

I’m not here to say they are better or worse than other products, just to start discussion on a feature that doesn’t seem to be talked about.

Interesting feature. If theft is a concern, seems like cheap insurance

Im always of the opinion that every small thing you can do to prevent theft will add up to thieves moving on to something easier to steal, so why not!

Interesting…. but… doesn’t the truck already have most of these features already? I mean…..If you don’t have the key fob, you can’t do shit.

Unless you live in an area where people are just hanging out waiting for you to open/close your doors so they can scan/capture the fob signal?

Outside of the keyfob, I need to school myself on the security of these things. I’ve done some searching a while back, but never found any concrete evidence that there’s any sort of ’alarm’ system (Per say). So, I’m curious to read this thread.
