Of the 9 different adjustments
Its a clever device - akin to a short shifter in a manual gearbox. It just boosts the VDC output of the electronic throttle position. Handy solution to lag, but twitchy because its amplified the throttle response so much in the higher settings that a touch of your pedal represents what a 1/2 a pedal would be in a stock setting.

The lag does get better in S+ but isn’t completely eliminated
There’s no perceptible lag anyway, especially in Sport+ or Race.
Seems silly to mess with the throttle mapping, and adding a 3rd party box between the pedal and the engine could be dangerous as well. Good luck getting insurance or warranty to cover you in the event of a crash.

As someone who tracks regularly I am able to see and feel the benefits of this device. I was asked and offered my advice on same. How fortunate we are to live in a time where we are free to make our own choices. I can speak from my experience that this device has zero effect on my insurance or warranty. Enjoy!

It's a Y connect to the gas pedal. From there, you can shimmy it pretty much anywhere. I had the Pedal Box system and the reality is that once you find a setting you pretty much leave it and dont touch it again. I kept mine by the seat in the gap - there if I needed it but it didn't need to be on full display once I had a comfortable setting.

The cable basically is tucked just under the centre console
Where the side leather meets the carpet it tucks under easily and the controller hangs out about midway down my seat. Like Skilly said I never touch it except if I have to turn it off. It’s a set and forget type of thing.
