Wake Up Your Prado.
The Ultimate9 EVC Throttle Controller (formerly iDrive) is the single most effective performance upgrade for the Toyota LandCruiser Prado 150 Series (2009–2023). Whether you drive the earlier 3.0L D4D or the later 2.8L turbo diesel, the factory accelerator often feels heavy and unresponsive. The EVC eliminates this lag, giving you instant access to your engine's power for safer overtaking and easier towing.
Eliminate the Diesel Lag
Toyota tunes the Prado 150 for fuel efficiency and smooth city driving, which creates a frustrating delay when you need to pull out into traffic or merge onto the highway. The Ultimate9 EVC sharpens the throttle signal, removing the hesitation and making the vehicle feel significantly lighter and more agile.
Perfect for Towing & Touring
The Prado 150 is Australia's favourite tourer, but towing a caravan or camper can make the throttle feel even more sluggish. With the EVC, you can select **Ultimate Mode** to get your load moving with less effort, or switch to **Eco Mode** for precise control on sandy beaches or slippery boat ramps.
Plug & Play Installation
No cutting wires, no soldering, no stress. The EVC connects directly to your factory accelerator pedal plug in minutes. It does not interfere with the ECU, creates no fault codes, and does not void your new car warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the EVC Throttle Controller compatible with my J150 Prado?
Yes, this EVC unit is specifically engineered for the LandCruiser Prado J150 series (2009 onwards). It includes a model-specific, plug-and-play harness designed to integrate flawlessly with your Prado's electronic throttle system.
Will this help with the "lag" I feel in my Prado's acceleration?
Absolutely. The Prado J150's factory throttle is programmed with a delay to prioritize fuel efficiency and smoothness. The EVC eliminates this delay, giving you a sharp, instantaneous pedal response that makes driving much more enjoyable, especially when you need quick acceleration to merge or pass.
Is there an "Economy" mode for off-road driving?
Yes. The EVC features an excellent Economy mode that dampens the throttle response. This is highly recommended for technical off-road driving or rock crawling, as it prevents sudden power surges, allowing you to maintain smoother, more controlled speed over difficult terrain.
How does the installation work?
It is a simple, non-invasive installation. You just need to disconnect the factory harness at your accelerator pedal, plug the EVC unit in between using the supplied connections, and run the thin cable to your chosen display location on the dash. It’s entirely reversible and leaves no permanent modifications.
Will this void my vehicle's warranty?
The EVC functions as a signal controller, not a "chip" or ECU tuner. It does not alter your engine's internal parameters like boost or fuel maps. While most owners use them without issue, we always recommend checking with your specific dealer regarding your vehicle's warranty policy before adding any aftermarket accessories.
