RV FEATURE
The MU-X can be a bit sluggish . Even my 17-year-old son , who is on his learner ’ s permit , has told me he prefers to drive his mother ’ s car because it is more ‘ zippy ’. After I installed the Ultimate9 evcX , however , his tune soon changed .
Installation is , without a word of a lie , incredibly easy . It is simply a case of unclipping the existing throttle wires from the accelerator , connecting the evcX to the same wiring harness as the existing throttle wires , and then feeding a cable up through the dash to connect to the throttle controller module . You can mount this module anywhere that ’ s convenient – double-sided tape is included in the kit .
I use Launch mode frequently for around-town driving . It provides maximum acceleration and traction .
The other good news : you can change the settings of the module on the module itself , or through an app . The app connects to the module via Bluetooth and it ’ s very intuitive and easy to understand . No complaints here .
EVCX MODES
The evcX comes pre-installed with eight driving modes : Ultimate9 , Ultimate , Launch , Adapt , Eco , Anti-Slip , Factory , and Valet . I have been driving a lot on the Ultimate9 and Launch modes – a tiny amount of throttle input on these modes translates to much faster acceleration from a standing start . The sensitivity of some of the settings , such as Ultimate and Eco , can be adjusted , too . Eco mode dampens the throttle response significantly and as such , it would be ideal for fourwheel-driving .
