Bring your vehicle to life with PedalMonster. City, Sport, Track with 30 levels of control. The Only OBD-II connected throttle sensitivity controller. Adjustable low-speed trim, reverse safety, and ActiveSafety circuitry included! Improve throttle response, adjustable and safe What Is It?
PedalMonster is the first OBD-II connected throttle sensitivity controller for gas and diesel vehicles. Controlled via Banks iDash or mobile app, PedalMonster is the Only module of its kind to offer safety features like ActiveSafety;, Reverse Safety and Adjustable Low-Speed Trim.
Customize
City, Sport and Track, each with 10 levels of refinement, allows you to tune out dead spots found in many pedals, making your throttle more responsive. PedalMonster can be adjusted on-the-fly through the iDash and phone application. Simply take your foot off the pedal momentarily to adjust the mode or sensitivity level.
Track
10 levels of increased sensitivity in the lower pedal travel range with boosted resolution in the upper travel range for finer control on the track. More power is delivered sooner making it ideal for performance and track use.
Sport
10 levels of improved sensitivity throughout for a more responsive driving experience. Gives your vehicle a sportier feel with a focus on the mid- to high-level throttle. More power is delivered in the mid-range ideal for when you want more get-up-and-go.
City
10 levels mapped for a linear characteristic throughout the pedal travel. Gives a more responsive feeling while retaining a smooth driving experience. Power is focused more on the higher range to prevent unintentional quick acceleration around town, ideal for city driving.
Control
PedalMonster is controlled via iDash DataMonster, iDash SuperGauge, and PedalMonster mobile app View PedalMonster’s activity in real-time. When used with iDash, monitor vital engine and transmission OBD-II data, control PedalMonster, Derringer tuner, and other Banks modules.
OBD-II Connected
PedalMonster is the Only throttle sensitivity controller connected via the vehicle’s OBD-II port (onboard diagnostics) reading vehicle data, allowing for unmatched control and safety. OBD-II data makes the following possible:
Safety
PedalMonster is the Only throttle sensitivity device with ActiveSafty In the event of an internal or external circuit failure the system’s seamlessly returns the pedal to stock. When all other devices fail, they leave the vehicle inoperable leading to dangerous situations. Imagine losing power while passing on a two-land road while heading into oncoming traffic.
All modern throttle pedals communicate with the vehicle’s ECM via two distinct signals (APP1 and APP2). This is done for safety. PedalMonster’s Health Monitoring constantly checks for signal linearity between these two signals and monitors input and output values. We monitor the health of PedalMonster 100 times a second. If the health monitoring system reveals any malfunction, the PedalMonster instantly bypasses itself, sets a device diagnostic code, and returns you to stock power.
PedalMonster’s internal circuitry is powered by the reliable +12 volt OBD-II connector. Competitive devices draw current directly from the low-overhead +5 volt throttle pedal circuit, often rendering the vehicle inoperable leading to dangerous situations.
Reverse Safety
PedalMonster returns the vehicle to stock throttle response when in reverse gear (availability varies by vehicle).
Adjustable Low-Speed Trim
This feature allows you to adjust the rate at which PedalMonster adds sensitivity at speeds under 10 mph. This helps to avoid spinning the tires in low speed turns or on slippery surfaces.
While level 0 turns off low-speed trim, levels 2-5 increasingly minimize throttle boosting from 0-5 mph. By 10 mph PedalMonster will boost the throttle normally. This adjustment helps with low speed drivability during parking lot maneuvering, icy roads, etc, under 5 mph while allowing you to use more an aggressive mode and level at the same time.
For example, if you like Track mode but don’t want to slip while driving slowly on icy roads, simply set the low-speed trim to Level 5.
You can also select transmission type: Automatic (default) or Manual. The Manual transmission setting does less boosting in the 0-20 percent pedal travel range (when compared to Automatic). This improves drivability during clutch engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions: PedalMonster
What does the PedalMonster do?
PedalMonster is the first OBD-II connected throttle sensitivity controller for gas and diesel vehicles. In basic terms, it changes the pedal position in relation to the throttle to get rid of that mushy feel. In many of today’s cars and trucks, auto manufacturers have implemented what’s known as “throttle enrichment delay.” This is a fancy term for sponge pedal. Why would manufacturers want your car or truck to have a pedal that feels like your stepping on a wet sponge? If manufacturers gave you the immediate response you wanted, you’d likely use more fuel launching at green lights and squirting around town. In theory, by making the pedal input slower to react, it saves fuel. But the byproduct is a boring driving experience.
Install Guide – PedalMonster owners manual
How does PedalMonster effect fuel economy?
The PedalMonster was designed to deliver throttle boost when you need it. It was not designed to increase fuel economy. Therefore, we do not advertise fuel economy gains. Fuel economy will depend on many variables including how you drive, how hard you mash the throttle, or PedalMonster level/environment you drive in.
How much power does the Pedal Monster add?
PedalMonster doesn’t increase horsepower or torque, but it does give you complete control over the gas pedal’s responsiveness. PedalMonster is a throttle sensitivity controller. It removes response delays on your electronic accelerator pedal. In other words, it gets rid of the dreaded “sponge pedal” found in so many of today’s cars and trucks.
Does the Pedal Monster void my warranty?
The PedalMonster intercepts signals from your pedal and alters them before sending them to the vehicle’s computer. The vehicle’s computer has no clue it’s receiving altered signals. PedalMonster does not alter the vehicle’s ECM (computer) in any way. Treat the PedalMonster as you would with altering the truck’s wheels or suspension. While most dealerships understand most aftermarket accessories are harmless, some dealers are not as forgiving. Always check with your service advisor prior to dropping off your truck. When in doubt, simply remove the PedalMonster and its harness. It takes less than 10 minutes. After removal its presence is undetectable; it does not leave a footprint in your ECM.
What iDash firmware do I need in order to use the PedalMonster?
iDash version 1.19 or higher is required to view and control PedalMonster. However, an iDash is not required to control a PedalMonster. You can also monitor and control it with the free iPhone or Android apps.
Where do I download the PedalMonster App?
> PedalMonster for Apple devices <
> PedalMonster for Andriod Devices <
I want to order the PedalMonster. I already have a Derringer with iDash. It says an OBD splitter is required. Is this included.
An OBD splitter is only required when adding PedalMonster to existing Derringer with 3-position Switch. Derringer with switch is different than Derringer with iDash. See the owner’s manual for a simple wiring diagram.
What safety features does the PedalMonster offer over everyone else?
Currently, no other throttle sensitivity controller has any safety features of any kind, at least any that will actually protect your vehicle from going into limp mode in the event of a failure.
- ActiveSafety failsafe circuitry
- Reverse Safety returns pedal to stock in reverse gear
- Adjustable Low-Speed Trim controls how fast sensitivity is added at slow speeds
- Module powered by +12v via OBD, not low-overhead pedal circuit like Pedal Commander and others.
How do I update the firmware?
You can update the Pedal Monster through the mobile app (iOS and Andriod) or iDash using a microSD card. Instructions can be found in the owner’s manual.
Do I have to use an iDash or can I use another monitor that is currently installed, like my Edge CTS?
Although the experience and user-interface are far better with an iDash, you can use the PedalMonster with another monitor like an Edge CTS. An OBD splitter can be used to run a PedalMonster stand-alone system with a third-party monitor. In this scenario, you will control the PedalMonster via the free iPhone or Android mobile app.
If I buy the PedalMonster stand-alone, can I add the iDash later?
Yes indeed.

Can the Derringer tuner and the Pedal Monster work together?
Not only can they work together, they’re designed to work as a team, increasing horsepower, torque and pedal sensitivity. The combination dramatically changes the driving experience.
