I had mine installed and had no problem with it for a couple of weeks.
Then had the reduced power code Turn the car off for 4 or 5 min. then started it and drove away worked again for about a month then reduced power again. I went through everything he told me to do and then it started doing it again to the point it would do it every time I drove it. called Vitesse motor sports we did a re-install and he found that the High and low electric was off. He sent me a knew one in less than a week.
The knew one is working awesome for 3 months so far! He stands behind his product. Very Honest and great guy!

Well, threw the code multiple times today and does not seem to have a correlation with the setting currently running. I called and spoke to the guy at Vitesse and he was very nice. I going to perform a reset calibration, record the L & H voltage readings, and only run it on 0 all weekend and see if it throws codes and report back on Monday. I will keep the group updated.

Not to rock the boat, but
I just purchased a 16 Z and my thoughts were about issues with the warranty and if after even removing the devise, that the dealer might determine you have been screwing with the fly-by-wire and messed up something in the PCM or some other component therefore voiding the warranty? Any guys with new cars using this with no concerns?

Just had my GS at the dealership...,kept my setting at S5 and kept the ashtray console cover closed(its where I mounted the controller)... no questions asked and it cannot be detected if they flash or update the computer

The worst thing that happens is the calibration might not be done correctly by the user thus setting a reduced power CEL

Others that are looking for anything that may look out of place.
But if something breaks during your Warranty, That's when they really start looking. Or something in the cumputer and they find the vittese! They will find away of blaming the problem on that.
I'm like you! I would be very uncomfortable making that choice. I agree with you.

PS : I have the Vitesse and love it. But My C6 is out of Warranty so no worries

What an awesome thread about an awesome product! I was ready to order one after reading the first page, but I resisted and read this whole thread! I contacted Ahmed to make sure the unit is in stock, and he confirmed they are and shipments go out tomorrow (Monday).
Aside from one or two hiccups, that got addressed quickly, it appears that everyone from a couple years ago in this thread is happily enjoying their Vitesse Throttle Controller, that's awesome to see! I'm ordering mine today & also bumping this thread for anyone new that hasn't heard about this awesome little device!
