Switch in stock location





What you need to disconnect and reconnect for the install.
Any tips for removing the connection to the gas pedal? I can’t get it to pop off for the life of me. ‘17 RX.

It was a ***** for me to get it off as well... From what i remember (1) You have to press on the correct part of the clip do undo it (2) Once you have that figured out, press firmly, really tight and then pull.

Thanks. It's tighter than a 30-yo virgin under there. I turned into a contortionist and couldn't find the correct position to identify the part of the clip to press so I could pull it out. I'm so embarrassed that I may have to take it to my guy to do.

Figured it out. Press on the small tab at the top of the plug and it comes right out.

Now, as it pertains to my '17 RX450H F-Sport, I must admit that the difference in throttle response between the red and and white is hardly noticeable. Perhaps because my ride doesn't have a power adder. I even reset it twice but to no avail. It is what it is.

Can anyone in OC help me install this? I'd rather have someone who has done it before do it than take it to a random shop.

Installed. Feels great. Took me a couple days to get a grip on how to be driving it. There was definitely a learning curve learning how the car responds and shifts differently from before, but much more fun.

In the beginning I would pretty much accelerate too fast and it would get stuck up in a high RPM before getting the hang of it.

If anyone is interested I have a brand new kit that I'm getting rid of since I never got around to installing it. PM me for details or check the classifieds as I posted it there.
