Description
Improve throttle response and eliminate accelerator delay in your Acura RDX 2nd Gen (2012–2018) equipped with the 3.5L i-VTEC engine using the advanced DTE PedalBox Accelerator Pedal Tuning module.
Electronic drive-by-wire throttle systems can create a slight lag between pedal input and engine reaction. The DTE PedalBox refines the accelerator signal before it reaches the ECU, delivering:
-
Sharper throttle response
-
Faster acceleration feel
-
Improved pedal precision
-
More engaging driving dynamics
This module does not increase engine horsepower and does not modify factory ECU software. It enhances throttle sensitivity only, maintaining full compatibility with all original vehicle electronics and safety systems.
✅ Plug-and-Play Installation
-
Connects directly to the factory accelerator pedal harness
-
No cutting or wire splicing
-
No ECU remapping or coding required
-
Fully removable and reversible
Installation typically takes only a few minutes.
✅ Selectable Driving Modes
Customize throttle behavior to match your driving style:
-
City Mode – smoother, progressive response
-
Sport Mode – noticeably sharper throttle reaction
-
Sport Plus Mode – maximum sensitivity for dynamic driving
-
Standard Mode – restores factory throttle characteristics
Each mode includes fine adjustment levels. The integrated memory function saves your last selected setting when restarting the vehicle.
Manufactured in Germany by DTE Systems, the PedalBox ensures OEM-level reliability and seamless integration with your Acura RDX’s electronic systems.
