What’s the difference between the Vitesse Motorsports throttle control and the Pedal Commander.
Why is the Pedal Commander more than $100 more expensive than the Vitesse?

I’d love to hear from owners of the Vitesse (particularly if the install was as easy as the pedal commander)

I have a Vitesse on the way as well. Hopefully able to test it out by next weekend. Price was right, reviews seemed positive.

Have any of you who ordered the Vitesse gotten an shipping notification? I ordered a week ago but haven't received one. I've tried contacting them a couple times without a response

I got a tracking number through PayPal. I think the Vitesse module is great. Great price... really made the truck more "driveable". You press the pedal... and you get POWER!
Install was straight forward as well.

Vetisse is as popular with GM community as PC with Mopar. Pretty much same function with little different interface. One you find you favorite settings you not gonna touch it ever. So vetisse is more bang for your buck. PC sure look better and Bluetooth capabilities to hook up to your phone.

I received an e-mail yesterday that it shipped and it arrived today via USPS. Should be able to install and spend some time with it this weekend.

I’ve got one on the way too...might be in my mailbox when I get home. Truck is going in tomorrow for a UCONNECT update (hopefully). I’ll do The Vitesse after.

Installed my Vitesse today. Took 8 days to get and didn't get a tracking number until today when it arrived.

When you install, make sure you follow the calibration process exactly or else you will get a code.

Works great! I know you don't get the Bluetooth function of the PC, but for almost half the price it gives you everything else!

I’ll be using Velcro to secure it completely out of view under the dash. Once I find a setting I like, I don’t plan on changing it.

That was my initial install. Soon after I found need more access for adjusting accordingly as per weather conditions. Sport 5+ settings in rain is not very convenient. Recent trip in snow ECO was brilliant idea for better traction.

I don’t have my PC mounted either. I have the wire tucked between the lower dash and center console then the unit is draped and hanging in the very front “pocket” in the console by my right knee.

i have tried the BT feature and am not too pleased with the errors I get so when I need to change the input I just tap the + or - button.

I like city +3 for most of my commutes around town. Dropping to City 0 in inclement weather.

Here is where I mounted mine. I wanted it as out of the way as possible, but still accessible to change settings. Used some velcro and I think it worked out great! There is a notch in the trim piece that is just big enough for the cable to fit through.

I like SP05 setting for normal driving.

I received my Vitesse yesterday. As others have said, install and setup was very easy. It took less than 5 minutes.

I'm very happy with the purchase. I know it doesn't add any power or horsepower, buy it certainly "wakes the truck up". The ability to have immediate throttle response makes the truck more responsive and definitely more fun to drive. Feels safer and inspires more confidence too because you get the response you expect immediately, with no lag.

You can change the setting as you drive which is very convenient. I've been switching between Sport mode 3 and 4. Those seem to be the sweet spots for me. If it's snowy or rainy, or you want less input for towing, you can quickly adjust back down to factory settings, or even decrease the input below factory setting if you like.

I'm sure the competing models like Pedal Commander work just as well, but I can't see them working any better, so for the price, the Vitesse makes sure makes sense for me.

I installed mine yesterday. I didn’t feel much difference at 3-4, I’m floating between 5-6.
Def nice addition for $160.
