Pedal Commander

Has anybody used one of these before in their car?

I just picked up a Macan Turbo and this product called Pedal Commander was recommended on the forums so I just decided to pick one up. Unfortunately, the item arrived today and the car is in for minor service so I can't try it out.

I noticed on their website they had one available for the M4 as well.

"Eliminates Delay. Nowadays, vehicles are notorious for their delayed throttle response. That's where the Pedal Commander comes in. These days, vehicles use a drive-by-wire system that monitors the position of the gas pedal to control the throttle electronically, similar to a dimmer switch. The problem with this setup is that the signal from the pedal has to first be sent the ECU, which in turn then sends the signal to the actuator motor that controls the throttle body itself. This delay is most noticeable when trying to speed up to merge with fast moving traffic or pass a slower moving car. However, the Pedal Commander Bluetooth Throttle Response Controller will eliminate that delayed throttled response, giving your vehicle a drastic night and day difference in performance."

-Directly from their website.

I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question.
