It seems there really is an app for anything, including your Toyota Tacoma’s suspension! ICON Vehicle Dynamics latest application added to its line of CDEV & IIC offerings with the release of the IIC Install Kit for 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma.
ICON Intelligent Control (IIC) is a computer that monitors, analyzes, and processes data in real-time. Information from the onboard G-force sensor and Gyroscope perform calculations based on algorithms and user-defined settings to predict terrain and wheel position. IIC has the capability to collect information at more than 1,000 times per second, process the data and make adjustments, then deliver those changes to Compression Damping Electronic Valve (CDEV) in the shock absorbers in under 40 milliseconds. IIC also works as a data driver to connect the user to ICON’s proprietary mobile App interface for monitoring and adjusting shock settings. The IIC is mounted to the 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma using application-specific mounting brackets, hardware and wire harnesses, ensuring an easy and clean-looking install.
The IIC App brings all of this technology together by offering a user-friendly interface to monitor, record, and adjust the system’s performance via Bluetooth connection. Users can easily alter the shocks’ baseline settings for firmness, as well as adjust the sensitivity of vertical “G-Boost” and lateral “Corner Boost” with a few simple taps from their favorite iOS device. The App includes several pre-configured ‘Drive Modes’ (Normal, Desert, and Haul), but also offers the ability for users to create an unlimited number of unique presets using their own custom settings. To top it all off, you can record data from your trip including time, speed, distance and G-Forces for your very own ICONIC Overview.
The beauty of the IIC and CDEV system is that it seamlessly adjusts all of the shocks to their ideal setting for any given terrain or driving style without ever having to take your eyes off of the road or trail. For example, if you’re blasting down a high-speed washboard road and suddenly come across a larger obstacle, the system will automatically increase shock damping to help absorb the impact. Conversely, if you’ve just completed a fast, rough section of trail and things start to slow down, the system will reduce shock damping to provide a compliant and comfortable ride. Whether it’s hardcore off-road performance, smooth on-road comfort, or anywhere in between, IIC and CDEV have you covered for every situation.
