Description
Sick of the delay you get when pushing your accelerator pedal?
HIKEit has a solution to get rid of that pedal lag!
The HIKEit X5 Throttle Controller is the most advanced controller on the market and designed specifically To "wake up" your car by reducing throttle lag and improving the response time from your vehicle's "fly by wire" accelerator. Best of all, the X5 is Plug & Play!
What is the HIKEit X5?
The HIKEit X5 is a 'bite-size' throttle response controller that removes delays in your electronic accelerator pedal. In short, the X5 will get a faster response from your engine and therefore you'll get a modified acceleration depending on the X9 setting you select.
When you push your car's pedal it shouldn't feel like your stomping a sponge; you should get the immediate response from your engine which is why we developed the HIKEit X5.
In addition to Automatic Mode Selection which will intelligently learn your driving style and the current situation and adapt the mode to suit, the X5 has 4 different control modes: Eco/4x4, Sport/Tow, and the Highest Performance mode, HIKEit mode. Each of the 4 modes has 9 different adjustable levels available for selection.
The HIKEit X5 Difference
How it works
The X5 has a clever PCB module that updates the points of reference for a vehicle's throttle mapping. Throttle Lag is added by manufacturers for a number of reasons including fuel economy. The HIKEit X5 maintains the standard parameters of your vehicle; however, introduces a sharper throttle curve (or smoother when in 4x4 Eco mode) and reduces the “dead zone” in your car's accelerator pedal.
HIKEit’s Performance mode (with 9 level settings) is not for the ‘Sunday driver’. HIKEit setting 1 is classified as intense while setting 7-9 is like ‘launch mode’. Touching the mode button while in any mode will activate ‘Over-Take mode’ that will instantly put the X5 into HIKEit Mode setting 9.
HIKE IT's Sport/Tow mode (with 10 level settings) is a fun way to get around without the adrenalin boost of HIKE IT mode. It's perfect when towing anything and will adjust perfectly to the application at hand.
Economy Mode (E) Economy mode has 10 settings that reduce the response from the pedal which will improve fuel economy and with a dampened response it can be particularly handy in situations such as driving off road, towing, beach driving etc.
UNIQUE FEATURES
Clever Modes
The X5 has 3 clever pre-set modes to give you complete pedal control..
Quality-Built Dual Chipset
The heart of the X5 is the dual 32BIT Chipset sourced from industry experts which leaves it’s 16BIT competition in the dust.
The Most Stable Software
Stay safe with the most stable Throttle Controller software on the market.
Over Take Mode
If no setting has been changed for 5 seconds just push the MODE button and jump straight into HIKEIT Level 9. ONLY AVAILABLE ON THE HIKEit X9
Anti-Theft Mode
Entering the Anti-Theft function will lock the car's throttle and will not accelerate at idle until unlocked.
Auto Brightness Sensor
The X5 has a clever Ambient Light Sensor that will adjust the LCD brightness automatically depending on the current light situation.
Optimisation isn't just plain old optimisation
How the HIKEit X5 Stacks up against the CompetitionThe most widely used doesn't always mean the best. Which is true in the instance of throttle controllers. When selecting a throttle controller it's important that performance and reliability are put ahead of brand name.
Improve Power without additional stress on your Vehicle, just better response!
The HIKEIT X5 works just like the 'Sport' button found in many cars by cutting down the amount of pedal travel required to achieve 'Throttle Wide Open' which will allow you to access the engines full potential. The HIKEIT X5 is pre-programmed with 4 adjustable mode maps which are finely tuned for your vehicle. Each function will alter the throttle signal in a different way which can be set depending on your preference.
Transmission Specific Settings
When gears changed in both Auto and Manual Transmissions there is always a slight delay in throttle response which can affect take-off speed and general safety. The HIKE IT X9 sits between the pedal and your car's ECU to intercept the signal and process it in order to quicken the response time. The X9 has individual setting based on your car's transmission to tune the signal further while maintaining the original feel of an Auto or Manual Transmission.
Auto Brightness Adjustment
Built into the face of the HIKEIT X5 is a clever Ambient Light Sensor which will adjust the brightness of the blue display light so you can see the settings perfectly in day light and you won't be blinded at night time.
Undetectable by your Car Dealership!
We understand the last thing you want to do is void your new car warranty. With the HIKEIT you don't need to wait for your warranty to finish before you can start customising it and improving it's driving performance.
Once removed, the HIKEIT won't leave a trace when removed while some other aftermarket tuners or programmers will add "red flags" on the ECU after installed. Rest assured that the HIKEIT is 100% UNTRACEABLE by dealerships. Before visiting your dealer for a service just unplug the HIKEIT and hide it out of sight. For repair work we recommend removing it just to be safe.
DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.
" The Hikeit transformed my Ranger and was the best $250 I ever spent on the car. I highly recommend the hikeit for anyone looking to give their car a boost without throwing away heaps on a chip "
- Greg
"I had the opportunity to try the HIKEIT throttle controller & couldn't believe the difference it made to my car. As the one I tried was a demo one I have taken it back out & can't wait to get one put in permanently "
- Rod
" After being disappointed with my Coast to Coast pedal box I thought I would give this unit a try for our 2015 Isuzu Mu-x. What a difference it made to its driveability. Has setting for auto or manual gearbox which for me made the auto gear changes much smoother. "
- Paul
" WOW. My Ranger improved so much with DPCHIP I didn't think it could get much better. Greg and Matt set up the demo unit for me to try. Having tried all different combinations fort mode 1-2 as that was a nicer response and pulled off from a standing start so much better"

FEEL THE POWER OF YOUR CAR WITHOUT EXTENSIVE & EXPENSIVE MODIFICATIONS
Introducing the most advanced Pedal Controller on the market. The HIKEIT X5 is a simple yet effective throttle response modification system designed to improve your driving experience. Fitting between the accelerator pedal and the ECU (the cars brain), on modern 'drive-by-wire' vehicles, the HIKEIT Pedal Controller maximizes the signal to give the smoothest and most effective response while driving. Suited to both diesel and petrol vehicles the HIKEIT X5 makes the vehicle more driveable in many ways including:
Overtaking
When overtaking it is essential to access all the engine's power as efficiently as possible. The enhanced throttle response from the X5 improves that efficiency and therefore the speed and safety of an overtaking maneuver.
Driving Pleasure
A better throttle response from HIKEIT plays a major part in the overall driving experience as it gives the driver superior, customized control over the acceleration of their vehicle.
Coming out of a Corner
Prior to entering a corner, the vehicle's brakes are applied and power is reduced. When the accelerator is applied through that corner or after the corner, the vehicle needs to respond smoothly and quickly in order to maintain the correct road speed. A better throttle response improves the power delivery and helps the car accelerate from the corner more effectively.

Review
Really hated that laggy throttle!!!
by Shane Lim Verified Buyer
On HIKEIT-X9 Premium Vehicle Specific Pedal Controller with 4 Driving Modes PLUS Auto Selection Mode
I got a HIKEit for my wife's 2013 Honda CR-V (unbeknownst to my wife). Fitted it and waited till the next day when she next drove the car to go out. She came home later on, comes to me immediately and asks "What did you do to my car??" I play dumb and say "What?", and she went on to say "It's really fast. I stepped on it and it went VROOOM! It was so sensitive!". I was trying to contain myself at this point. Then she asks "Is it that little white box thing?". Our daughter now comes into the room and asks what we're talking about. My wife says to her "Daddy did something to my car. It's really fast now". So funny. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Incredible difference

I initially had a few issues trying to fit the hike it controller to my throttle NW Pajero So I took the unit to my auto electrician and problem resolved. I cannot believe the difference this controller has made to my vehicle. It has made it so much more fun to drive, I wish I had of done this a lot sooner. Thank you Hime It, you have an excellent product. Two thumbs up.
WOW!!!

It only took 3 minutes to install. Just amazed by the performance difference. My diesel 2.0 feels like a V6 Petrol on Sport 2 mode. Also noticed, in town, the fuel economy got better as the car reaches the city limit speed quickly and then it just glides. Good results. Would recommend to anyone.
Absolutely The BEST thing I have done to my 200 Series Landcruiser

So I installed a Hiket 9 on my 2007 JKU that has the cheesy 3.8 and manual transmission. The increased throttle response is like a new JEEP!!! I can’t say enough good about this product!!
Just Wow

On HIKEIT-X9 Premium Vehicle Specific Pedal Controller with 4 Driving Modes PLUS Auto Selection Mode
Easily the best modification I’ve put on my car (2010 Sr5 Hilux).
Honestly my jaw was on the floor from the second my foot touched the accelerator.
If you’re indecisive if you should get one or not I 100% recommended. I sat on the fence for a little over a year, I wish I got it all that time ago
HIKEIT-X9 A MUST BUY!
by DAMIAN THORSTENSON Verified Buyer
On HIKEIT-X9 Premium Vehicle Specific Pedal Controller with 4 Driving Modes PLUS Auto Selection Mode
I'd have to say the HIKEIT-X9 is a must buy product it's like driving a completely different vehicle. Installed in a 18 Wrangler JLU 2.0T and the little bit of turbo lag is gone and the throttle response is right there. In sport and race modes on high sensitivity the Jeep just wants to go. I'd highly recommend buying this.
Hands down one of my favorite new additions to my manual transmission 2016 Scion tC.

I wanted to test out a throttle controller to see if it would make a difference even though my ECU is already OrangeVirus flash tuned. Many were over priced or used the ODB2 port (which my shift light is plugged into). This unit was well reviewed, simply plugged into the top of accelerator pedal, and was priced much lower than the rest. It was also very easy to use and had the one touch HIKEit mode. Between the low pricing and seeing mostly truck and Jeep owner reviews, I was a little nervous, but I'm glad I got it. I didn't realize how much throttle lag I had until I installed this. I'm now able to fine tune the throttle to match weather and road conditions, my mood, and if I have passengers or cargo in the car. I highly recommend picking one up.
