Table of Content

Your Fukin Tuned throttle response controller is delivered to your door, and now what? Don’t worry, you need no professional help—it is a complete DIY job to install it.

Installing it isn’t hard, but getting it right matters. Follow this step-by-step breakdown to get the job done and get your Fukin Tuned throttle response controller up and running the way it was designed to.

How to Install Fukin Tuned: Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Download the Fukin Tuned Mobile App

Head to your smartphone’s app store and install the Fukin Tuned mobile app.

Open the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
Search for “Fukin Tuned”.
Download and install the app. Once installed, don’t launch it yet—we’ll come back to it later on.

Step 2: Power Down the Vehicle Properly

This is critical. The electronic throttle systems and the vehicle ECU stay active for up to 15 minutes after turning off the ignition. If you disconnect the pedal harness too early, you could trigger fault codes, CEL lights, or limp mode.

Here’s what to do:

Turn the ignition off.
Open the driver’s door (and the trunk if necessary to confirm full shutdown).
Place your key fob at least 35 feet away from the vehicle—your vehicle could grab signals when the fob is nearby.
Wait a full 15 minutes to ensure the drive-by-wire system is fully shut down.

Step 3: Locate and Unplug the Pedal Harness

Once everything is powered down, go underneath the dashboard on the driver's side.

Adjust the driver seat all the way back and tilt the steering wheel up for better access.
Locate the accelerator pedal assembly.
Find the harness connector that plugs into the pedal (it may be at the top or rear).
Press or lift the locking tab and unplug the connector.

This disconnects the factory throttle signal, so your Fukin Tuned throttle response controller can be installed in-line.

Step 4: Connect the Fukin Tuned Controller

Take your Fukin Tuned controller and connect it to the drive-by-wire system.

Plug in the female connector of the Fukin Tuned harness into the pedal itself.
Then plug the male connector into the vehicle’s wiring harness that goes to the ECU.

Make sure both connections snap into place with a “click”. This ensures reliable and secure fit, and no troubles down the road.

Step 5: Secure All Wiring and Mount the Unit

Tidy up and secure the cables and the unit to prevent interference with pedal movement or the pedal itself.

Use the included zip ties to:

Bundle and secure any extra wiring.
Keep all cables clear of moving parts and foot space.
Mount the Fukin Tuned throttle response controller module to a flat surface.

A clean, secure install helps avoid future issues and keeps the setup safe over the long term.

Step 6: Reconnect Power and Check for Warnings

Bring your key fob back and start the engine. Watch your dashboard for the Check Engine Light (CEL) or error messages.

If a warning light appears:

Turn off the ignition.
Disconnect the battery for at least 15 minutes. This is a good time window for you to check your installation for any loose connections, etc.
Reconnect the battery and restart the engine.

Step 7: Pair the Controller Using the Fukin Tuned Mobile App

Now it’s time to connect the app and activate your controller:

Open the Fukin Tuned mobile app on your phone.
Register with a valid email address and confirm it via the email you receive.
Enable Bluetooth and GPS on your phone.
In the app, scan for available devices.
Select your Fukin Tuned controller, enter the 7-digit serial number located on the side of the unit, give it a name, and tap “Connect.”

Step 8: Final Check and Test Drive

That’s it. You have successfully installed the Fukin Tuned throttle response controller, and you’re ready to say goodbye to throttle lag! Start your engine, test the pedal response in each mode through the app, and go for a drive.

Don't Just Accelerate Faster, Protect Your Ride Too!

The Fukin Tuned throttle response controller is not all about performance, it also protects your pride and joy! When you're done test driving, go to the Anti-Theft menu on the Fukin Tuned app and subscribe for the best additional vehicle security system!

After the subscription, you need to run this super-simple calibration setup in the app's Anti-Theft menu:

Turn the ignition to the accessory position without cranking the engine (or press the Engine Start button without pushing the brake pedal).
Save the voltage reading while your foot is off the gas pedal as MIN. Then press the accelerator all the way, and save the value as MAX.
Save and exit to complete the calibration.

It is FREE for the first 14 days, and then costs $0.99 a month or $9.99 a year—cheaper than a burger for a complete peace of mind!

And now you know exactly how to install and get your Fukin Tuned up and running, the right way.
