Hey Randy,

Yes the porsche pedal is drive by wire, well the pedal itself is actually mechanical but it connects to an electric motor mounted in the dash. It is also a 6 wire setup like the GM unit, but i believe that the problem is in the voltages that GM uses vs. what Porsche uses, they no sprecken well~ Probably need a series of resistors or something - i'm sure you could make it work but when it comes to the throttle i'd like to keep it as simple as possible to avoid any potential issues.
