Put my order in last night. I already have the Mamo V2 TB and have been happy with it, but after reading all 14 pages on this topic, I figured it would be worthwhile trying this for my M6. The unit is backordered per the Soler web site, but I'm in no hurry...

I just received it and installed it yesterday. Left it at P2.5 for now, and no code upon initial start up. Will try it out for a while before any other mode changes.
Install and instructions were easy, well as easy as it can be for this 67 year old body to work under the dash. Beautifully packaged. I also have a Rotofab CAI on order, but it's backordered. I am very curious how all this stacks up and will work with my Mamo V2 TB. |

It wont cause a malfunction to run with it unplugged, but without the unit plugged in it reverts to stock. You gotta leave it plugged in to work

So I Finally installed the TC, and wow! Now I really like my car again-its great!!!!
Also, just wanted to share an install bit of info, the white plug kept popping out as I was fiddling around with the best place to put the unit-see photos. I decided to secure it with a thin white twist-tie and electrical tape, see the third photo.

I’m trading my Camaro in tomorrow so I have my Soler throttle controller for sale if anyone wants a slightly used one. I absolutely loved it

It seems to me that the unit is powered from the pedal assembly itself, and according to the competition (no secret, it's Banks), this may pose a safety issue on cars that have too little power reserve on that circuit, causing a MIL and loss of pedal functionality, see the screenshot below. For this reason their product uses the OBD-II port to draw power from. Does the Camaro have a similar exposure to this problem, say, via a razor thin safety margin on the connection your throttle controller is drawing power from? If yes, is your throttle controller safe, ie does it leave enough reserve on the circuit? Thank you for your response in advance.

Hello All, I just got my TC from Mike and ordered it on Wed and got it on Saturday, thank Mike! Got it installed today and it comes with very good instructions and had no issues at all!
Ok so I had to try out a few of the modes and I so far like it, now my main reason of getting it and maybe I got it for the wrong reasons, but for better MPG, I understand what this TC does but and what I have been told was the faster you get out of the low gears to a cruising speed to say the 8th or 7th gear for best MPG, in the SP5 mode I noticed that if I press the pedal just enough to move without stomping on it as that will waste gas but a smooth ramp of speed like getting on a highway I feel that it's quicker from a lower gear to the higher gears right? Where before I would press the pedal softly I would be staying in those lower gears for longer and using more gas, I have a V6 A8 Auto Transmission. Also can you change the modes while driving if you release the pedal fully and then change modes without the CEL error or into LIMP mode as I think if the modes of the TC are changed while pressing on the pedal then the ECU will cause an error right? Last question please, Maybe these questions are for Mike at Soler, but when in EC 9 mode and not using the cruse control and from what I understand the TC will not help in better MPG in ANY MODE or will it? Thanks Christopher |

Sunday Soler Day!
Looks like today is the day for modifications! I, too, installed my Soler TC today, except mine didn't go as smooth as @cengell
I installed it (And WHY do they have the plug on the right side? I think most installs the device on the right side of the steering wheel, so now the cord has to be bent underneath the unit- anyway All went well, had the car started, switched to OEM mode and let it idle. After about 3 minutes and a good revving, it went into limp mode Then I looked up where the batt was (who knew about the hidden access panel?) Disconnected my (-), and now I'm waiting. Nervous |

Sorry to hear that MrChevyDC3, now did you follow the instructions 100%? I have read what happened to you could be because when you removed the pedal I waited like 15 min for it to all shut off. Also in the instructions I think it's says maybe the first time you could get an CEL. Also do the next steps about pressing the start button with the key FOB and but don't start, and then hold the mode button until 820 was on the display and press the pedal all the way down and release (if I have that correct order in the manual)?
But I am sure after a reset like you did you will be fine. JUST DON'T CHANGE THE MODE WHILE DRIVING or at least without the gas pedal pressed at all as I asked that question in my post. Please report back. Christopher |

Let it sit unplugged for a hot 30, rechecked my connections, retucked the box. Followed start up process to the T, let it idle at OEM for a few, didn't Blip the throttle. Took it around the block...
OEM felt like OEM... Stopped, changed to CF 3, didn't really notice a difference. Kinda felt as if the car rowed through the gears quicker? Could've just been me, being eager to feel a diff. Stopped, changed to CF5, Felt a diff now. Still nothing commendable, but felt comfortable and peppy. I could blip the throttle and the car would jump, like my old Nova w/ 468 BB. By then I was back home, feeling good about life again. Ready to go out and try CF 7 or 9, and then to the sporting modes. Hoping that I see NO limp codes or anything... |

I also installed mine today on my 2020 2SS A10. No issues and extremely easy install (the hardest part was Tetris-ing myself on the floor board). HOLY CRAP I honestly didn't think it would make that big of a difference but my god it feels like a different car! I tried all the modes and settled on Sport 5 which is still a hell of an improvement. Ludicrous mode made me laugh as soon as I even breathed on the pedal. I really thought it was overhyped but man does it make the car fun!
