Red light bandit throttle booster.
Company says compatible 2006-2013
I have 2005 Base . I am curious if anyone has used this in 2005
. I do remember a while back one in the C6 parts F/S and seller said that he didn’t realize not compatible for 05 but I don’t know if he just read and didn’t try ???
Any information would be appreciated. Very inexpensive mod for a little extra, and the plug and play is nice.
This is the 3rd time for a first generation 1st year 68, C4 but a 91 with ton of 1 year only almost everything , now 05 . The 05 so far has a lot of 05 only 😩

No one makes a working throttle controller for an 05 to date.

I Appreciate Your Help
I figured as much . I thought it would buy me a little time from spending on the ring & pinion swap that I have wanted to do since the first day I bought the car . I love the looks of the car just doesn’t make me want to break loose the back wheels at every light 😂 and talk yourself out of it because tires cost $$$ or ??? I’m not saying that it’s a little boring but it definitely needs to be woken up !
Thanks again

Correct no throttle controllers due to the 2005 one-off YM ECM on those cars. I believe it is an E40 and 2006-2013 used the E38. You might read several of the newer throttle controller advertisements where they state compatibility for 2005-2013, but there have been no posts confirming that they actually work for the 2005 YM. If this was the case it would be widely publicized on the forum.

I didn’t think I was
Plan is to do CAI ( because I like the look of the particular CAI I bought also like the throaty sound at WOT ) maybe a pony or 2 😂
and a street tune . definitely doing the ring and pinion most definitely 4:10’s there’s a really good rear end shop locally, has been in business over 50+ years , will kill 2 birds 1 stone . Wake up the car ! Kill the drone with the Billy boat fusion ( which I love)
I usually address the motor after catastrophic failure 😂 which are not as often as they used to be = I am getting old 😩. Perfect timing for everything on the wish list !
appreciate all the information ! This forum has saved me so much $$$ because of the YEARS
of knowledge added up from all different members with the exact same interests . Enjoy your holidays Thank You 🍀
