Alright, here is the APEXi throttle controller install that I have been lagging on sharing!

Here is a photo of what you get with the kit (Control Unit, toggle switch, directions, and Throttle linkage)

The controller has 7 Setting Modes: (3 ECO Modes, 2 Boost Modes, Lo-Throttle Mode, and Hi-Throttle Mode).

I have spent significant time with the Eco modes and I now drive around with the most extreme Eco modes (for stop and go traffic) and the middle Eco modes for normal driving. Freeway merging or passing I drive around in the High-boost mode and it completely opens up the power of the car and removes any lag in throttle.

I removed the Fuse panel to determine what kind of installation I could work with and realized I had a good amount of space to mount the box

First thing I did was uninstall the OEM throttle and placed the APEXi cable between the two connections

As you can see there was quite a bit of extra wiring that I tucked behind the carpet to hide

I was then able to place the control box on an empty section of the panel (affixed with some double-sided tape)

I then focused my attention on how I was going to mount the controller switch, that is when I realized the fuse cover has a hole at the bottom which the cabling could run through

Then I remounted the Fuse cover and checked all my clearances

Success!

Matches the interior well

Final setup, works really well and is pretty subtle!
