It’s subjective. I didn’t like the response of my A8. My RR Sport daily drive “felt” better.

Added TM PTB and Sprint Booster. I prefer the resultant experience.

Thanks.

I have a 2019 C7 M7. I only have the Soler TC and it makes the car so much more enjoyable. run is on sp5 and you will be happy. Best mod I have done for my C7, well that and the MGW Short shifter...

Where and how do you mount the Soler throttle controller control panel? Pics appreciated.

And does this affect warranty in any way? Disconnect before any dealer visits? Thanks.

Yeah i can get pics for ya tomorrow. I have mine mounted just below the start button. they come with 3m adhesive on the back.

10m socket to remove pedal, Soler TC plugs in line, run it through the carpet behind the pedal(super easy, carpet is not glued down and easy to run through opening. I tucked the excess wire behind carpet and mounted.

Soler Provides great instructions with pics too! (10 min job)

Due to several request Mike added extra length to the TC wire so that it is possible to run it inside and along the console trim and place the control head in the center console if you choose. This is helpful if you change the settings as you move between driving modes. If you are not going to be changing then you can set the controller to your preferred setting and just slide it behind the carpet.

Here’s pics of it installed underneath the carpet behind the gas pedal and the controller wire tucked behind the trim piece...

I did something similar to the above but I just velco'd the controller in place (easy to pull off and drop behind the carpet again for trips to the dealership).
