Just installed the new Soler BT throttle controller...I've never sweat that much in my life...I'm 6' 2" 252 lbs, that's a tight space to work in...I mounted the controller to the left side of the steering wheel, better angle...I started the car, connected Bluetooth through the app, it works great...I tried eco mode just reving the car vs sport vs Ludacris...man what a difference....thanks for the install video...it helped.
Just found out about this channel you deserve many more subscribers. Amazing content energy positive attitude and I am actually learning how to do things myself. Thanks so much.
Same thing as a Pedal Commander. I run mine under the floor mat and leave the unit under the drivers seat. Then use the blue tooth app. to control it. Honestly, I leave mine in sport mode and never change it.
Maybe ppl weren’t installing them correctly…I have the Soler controller on my 5th Gen and it’s perfectly fine 🤷…just take it back off for a while if u have to get dyno tuned
Spent the afternoon installing this thing. What a job. For me anyways. Just trying to figure out how to keep the sending unit away from the gas pedal and tie up to something. There if no room to get under the dash to look underneath. it. I thought some velcro would stick to the carpet. Nope. Love to see a video on how you got the wiring away from the gas pedal.
After watching your video Matt, I got the throttle body, controller and attack blue air filter. Got it professionally installed today. Kept it on S6 on my way home and in 5 miles cars went in limp mode 3 times. CEL on. I got frustrated and switched to OE mode so I could get home. Hoping to get the car ECU used to these 3 modes in next 50 miles or so. So far, still skeptical that all these changes wouldn't throw the car's ECU off completely. Really enjoy your videos, keep it up 👍
It’s basically the Pedal Commander. I tested out on my Ridgeline and it’s crazy!! I was going to put one on my C7 before I totaled it. I got a C8 HTC on order, glad your testing it out for me😜 love everything your doing, makes the wait soooo much better!!
This video is a little over my head, but I enjoyed it. It's not something I would do on mine because don't know how or anyone that would for me. Once the snow is gone and I join a corvette club, maybe I'll find someone. The filter and the Piece for the side intakes I will Purchase. I already purchase the front grills from another company. Wish I had seen yours first. I enjoy watching every video.
The pedal commander does not leave any information on the cars computer. Your warranty will not be voided, just make sure you detach it when you go for warranty service work.
Getting that connector off was a major pain for me. Basically there is another black clip you have to push out/away to allow the connector to slide out.
My mechanic thought it was best just tucking the unit behind the dash since you can make all the changes with an app. Most people would just leave it around 50%.
You need to try it in track, I did have same system on golf-r, and it didn't work for me. I got confused using the throttle in the track, you need to have the intermediate position of the throttle to control your turn, this system makes it so difficult.
Did you try in sport and track? Did you notice higher RPMS before the C8 shifted compared to oem? I have a Vitesse and seem to get higher rpms before shifting in sport and track modes (car setting not controller). I'm wondering if it's the ecm throttle position mapping causing my issue.
What is wrong with OEM pedal and the new Soler throttle body?? Response seems fine to me - I like to Keep It Simple and minimize potential electronic problems
I didn't read ALL the comments already posted - so maybe this question has been asked: Does this throttle-body controller affect the warranty at all?? Would you have to remove it if you brought the Vette in for any kind of engine, drivetrain, or electronics warranty or service work? Thanks for your reply... Gary S.
@@RWDC8Z awesome! Is there a kit to buy both the throttle body and controller together or just buy them separate on the website? Can’t wait to get the extra performance and the extra feel of power!
In one video the guy said you don’t even need the controller in the car after you connect to the app. That would save the placement problem if this is true.
I could see this being good for someone if you let your daughter drive it and tone back the throttle some. Feel I've gotten pretty use to the throttle yet I would like less play in the first inch or so in the throttle. I would like that sport mode.
🤣🤣🤣 Bro ludicrous mode is nuts. Like it’s basically taking a right hand turn from a complete stop FULL THROTTLE. But because of the grip of the C8 you actually go around that corner at an insane speed. Lol. Can’t wait for your reaction.
How's the mpg numbers reacting to the controller? I have always been intrigued by this mod, but never tried it and wondered how it affects fuel economy.
Well in sport mode it’s really hard to stay out of the pedal. I’d imagine a lot lower MPG. But if you’re looking for MPG the eco mode will probably get those numbers up!
@@RWDC8Z I will probably get it once I have the car to play with it since the C8s seem to handle it well as opposed to the Camaros. UNLESS....someone comes up with a true horsepower tune for the C8. The 6th gen Camaro came maxed out from the factory, so the only thing they could tune would be the throttle response, but at $300+ it was a waste of money.
Jax Jax, I agree.. lol.. why folks worrying about MPG. We know what we getting when buying a sport cars.. My daily is 17 Camaro SS tune and throttle control, aint no crying about gas or mpg round here..
I use Comfort 5 on my 2020 C8. Sport 5 is too much for the street. FYI, I hid the unit behind the matting, can't see anything. Much cleaner than the way you did it. FYI 2, the ported throttlebody is not necessary (no gain in power) as seen here; ruclips.net/video/pbZy2Hpfzt8/видео.html
What is the point? Who buys a C8 Corvette and puts performance mods on it - and is concerned with saving gas? just one more electronic device to breakdown or throw codes-the Soler throttle body increases throttle response enough for me - NO thanks

Thanks man! 🙏🏼

It’s cool to see the vette handle the throttle controller well, I’ve heard some horror stories of pedal controllers and camaros lol
Yeah it’s awesome! You have to give it a try one of these days!
Yeah I have a 6th Camaro and I read that too and didn't want to try it.
Maybe ppl weren’t installing them correctly…I have the Soler controller on my 5th Gen and it’s perfectly fine 🤷…just take it back off for a while if u have to get dyno tuned
Hey we just got our throttle and module we are very excited .
Enjoy!!! Let me know what you think!

I had one of these controllers on my C6 and it worked way nice!
Thanks this was very helpful to understand how this system works. I have this on my corvette. I had no knowledge of how this worked, Now I do.
You’re welcome! Enjoy!

Hey manny, did you get it figured out? How’s it running now? Also contact Soler performance if you have any issues. Awesome customer service!
@@RWDC8Z it's working Amazing now. Thank God 😊 All good Brother 👍
What did you do to fix it?

The Pedal commander can be controlled with Bluetooth and a app on your phone. Does this one do the same?
Nope, not yet
That's a pretty cool mod. Curious if people can get better MPG in city driving with economy
I think they would for sure!
I have the same one for my camaro its great
It would be interesting to see how that is out on the track. I might have to get this now with the TB.
I’ll find out tonight!
@@RWDC8Z I can't wait! My TB is on order.
This would completely remove the need to break the ECU open, that's awesome
No it doesn't, that's not the same thing
@@joel9873 Didn't say they were
Gas stations are loving you stopping not so much for your car as it's your refills.
Yeah they do!

I got confused using the throttle in the track, you need to have the intermediate position of the throttle to control your turn, this system makes it so difficult.
After pairing with my mobile, simple removed the display unit and hid the USB C cable behind the carpet, as well. Nothing seen.
I had to turn it off in my truck, made me feel like the truck was going to blow up😂😂😂 I can only imagine on a C8😳
Lol, yeah I’ve dialed it back cause it’s just so intense!

What throttle body did you install? Thanks
Soler performance

Not sure the correct answer but it’s super easy to uninstall so I would just in case. 🤷🏻♂️
i have a 2021 lt3 when i click your link it show only for the lt1 and lt2 would it still work?
Looking to buy the throttle body and controller...what setting do you keep your car on for more spirited driving??
On the controller I run around in S5 most of the time. When I’m just relaxing I put it in CF5. You’re gunna love it!
@@RWDC8Z awesome! Is there a kit to buy both the throttle body and controller together or just buy them separate on the website? Can’t wait to get the extra performance and the extra feel of power!
You just purchase them separately but the code will take the discount off both! You’re gunna love it, everyone does!
@@RWDC8Z bought the throttle body and controller...installation in 2 weeks! Can’t wait
In one video the guy said you don’t even need the controller in the car after you connect to the app. That would save the placement problem if this is true.
I may try one now
Do it! You won’t regret it!
I could see this being good for someone if you let your daughter drive it and tone back the throttle some. Feel I've gotten pretty use to the throttle yet I would like less play in the first inch or so in the throttle. I would like that sport mode.
I want to see some more info on this when you can.
Should have some more today!
I wonder how this would affect the warranty on engine components?
Not too sure
Think he would find out if sponsoring product… sheesh lol
The website says only lists up to 20 c8. Does this cover the 21 too?
same car
I believe so, you can always message them to confirm. Thanks for watching!
I swear i see you in my city all the time i like your car tho bro I’m working hard to own a c8 or atleast a c7
Get it bro! Can’t stop don’t stop!
Matt I woke up the other day and the outro music you use for your videos was playing in my head. 😩 wtf
🤣🤣🤣 that’s freaking awesome!
@@RWDC8Z haha I guess so...
Wow
Damn dude now I gotta get one of these too.....ludicrous will be my mode.....econo pffftttt lol never.
🤣🤣🤣 Bro ludicrous mode is nuts. Like it’s basically taking a right hand turn from a complete stop FULL THROTTLE. But because of the grip of the C8 you actually go around that corner at an insane speed. Lol. Can’t wait for your reaction.
@@RWDC8Z thanks for the info Matt. You really are making it easy to know what I’m gonna mod my car with. Good work. October can’t come soon enough.
How can I order one??

How's the mpg numbers reacting to the controller? I have always been intrigued by this mod, but never tried it and wondered how it affects fuel economy.
Obviously I am wondering how the mpgs are affected in the sport modes btw.
Well in sport mode it’s really hard to stay out of the pedal. I’d imagine a lot lower MPG. But if you’re looking for MPG the eco mode will probably get those numbers up!

I don’t give a shit in fuel economy as long it make more horsepower if you want economy get a miata or a nissan 🤣 or a volksgwagen
Jax Jax, I agree.. lol.. why folks worrying about MPG. We know what we getting when buying a sport cars.. My daily is 17 Camaro SS tune and throttle control, aint no crying about gas or mpg round here..
What’s the app?
SOLER PRF in apple store
would it work with the stock throttle body?
Yessir!
I use Comfort 5 on my 2020 C8. Sport 5 is too much for the street. FYI, I hid the unit behind the matting, can't see anything. Much cleaner than the way you did it. FYI 2, the ported throttlebody is not necessary (no gain in power) as seen here; ruclips.net/video/pbZy2Hpfzt8/видео.html
You need to open your own mods shop!
Lol, right?
Look like a lighter at 1st 😂
Awesome video bro. That pedal control is insane
I would really like to to see your car on a dyno. If you could find a totally stock C8 to compare would be a great video.
🙏🏼 thanks bro!
That’s a great idea!
No hp gain, just respond right
You going to Bradenton tomorrow
Indeed! You?
Can't trust ANYTHING you say when your getting paid to say these things..freaking joke

waste of money,.,. it does nothing....all in your head!
