FAQ

Here you can find the frequently asked questions:
 

• Does the IOPEDAL gas pedal tuning have to be entered in the vehicle documents or approved by the TÜV?

  The IOPEDAL has an official type approval issued by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (German Federal Motor Transport Authority) according to ECE regulations/guidelines 2014/30/EU (EMC) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. The component marked with the approval number may be operated in Germany and many other international countries without a special entry in the vehicle documents. In Germany, the recognition of the E-mark is regulated in § 21a of the StVZO. The installation of a gas pedal tuning did not represent a structural change to the vehicle, which is why an entry in the vehicle documents is not required. 
   

• Is it possible to use the IOPEDAL with electric and hybrid vehicles?

  The IOPEDAL is designed for vehicles with combustion engines as well as for fully electric and hybrid vehicles. It is also future-proof as well as multifunctional when it comes to signal processing and is able to process all accelerator pedal signals currently used on the market (analog, PWM and also digital SENT signals).

• Why is it better to have a wireless remote control for my gas pedal tuning?

  Gas pedal tuning with a wired control unit cannot be positioned very flexibly and always have a visible cable, which usually runs along the cockpit or center console. The IOPEDAL has a Bluetooth connected control panel which can be positioned flexibly. The position can be chosen freely. Whether left or right of the steering wheel, on the center console or in the storage compartment is up to you. 
  
  Another special advantage of Wireless Remote is of course the security settings: secureMode and valetMode. The control unit can be stored outside the car, so it is not possible to deactivate these functions. 

• What exactly is meant by the Flavor-Select function?

  The IOPEDAL is a multi-functional gas pedal tuning with many functions. The control unit (ECU) contains 3 different characterizations (Normal / Power / Precise) of the predefined driving programs. Switching to a different characterization affects all driving programs and their subprograms accordingly. The IOPEDAL is delivered with the following characteristics: Normal.
  
  Normal - Delivery state - see description of Driving Modes
  Power - All driving programs have a more pronounced characteristic.
  Precise - All driving programs are characterized by a more reduced characteristic.

• Is the vehicle manufacturer's warranty affected by the installation of the IOPEDAL?

  In our experience, the manufacturer's warranty remains unaffected by the use of a gas pedal tuning, as the standard performance of the vehicle remains unchanged. However, we ask for your understanding that we cannot make any binding statement in this regard. To be on the safe side, you should make an inquiry to the respective vehicle manufacturer before use. 

• Can I do the installation myself or should it be done better by qualified personnel?

  Installation is simple and can be carried out in just a few steps. The best thing to do is to take a look at our information page on the subject of installation.

• Can I further use the IOPEDAL even after a change of vehicle?

  Yes, this is usually not a problem. In the manual you will find the explanation how to reset your IOPEDAL. However, when changing vehicles, it is sometimes necessary to use a different cable adapter, because the plugs are different. This can be purchased separately from us. The best way to do this is to contact us by e-mail: support@iotuning.com

• Which battery is used to power the Remote Controller?

  The Wireless Remote is powered by a standard CR2032 coin cell battery. You can find these in any well-stocked supermarket.

• How long is the battery life in the remote controller?

  The service life of the battery is strongly dependent on the use of the control unit. During the development of the remote controller, we specifically ensured that the battery has the longest possible service life. The battery should achieve an operating time of approx. 12 months with daily use. 

• Can I also replace the battery myself?

  Changing the battery is very easy. You can open the housing with the included Torx screwdriver and then replace the battery directly. A CR2032 battery should be available in any well-stocked supermarket. If you need assistance, feel free to contact us or consult the manual.
