It’s a key ring that’s on the end of my fob case. This is the best pic I have of it, nothing to be freaked about.

Quick Review:
Install was a breeze, anyone can do it. Difficulty level 1
You can really tell a difference in throttle response, my vote is it’s worth the money.
Install pics coming soon.

I understand the goal of the XLR is to boost throttle response but functionally how is it achieving this? Also, are you paying two separate App Control fees if you have GTS Black with app control already?

I don’t have a clue how they do it, but it works, and very well. Maybe the pics I’m posting will help a little once you see how it’s connected.

Yes, because you aren’t paying for the app or access to it, but a module that has the Bluetooth functions.

So I would be able to pick this up with app control and add it to my Racechip RS that doesn't have app control?

Yes, as far as I know, this works with or without a tune and works independently of the engine.

Correct, it’s that easy.

Here is what RC says about the XLR, “We developed RaceChip XLR to increase responsiveness on the road. Our innovative throttle tuning system lets tune your engine’s reactions to your taste – choose from 7 separate stages. You’ll love your car’s improved dynamics – we promise.

Your engine’s performance isn’t affected by RaceChip XLR, but you can access it more immediately and directly. Experience significantly sharper responses for yourself – no waiting for the message to get through or frustrating “pauses for thought”.
