Default Throttle Commander

Question of those you you with some type of throttle pedal controller. Do those that are controlled by a phone app. have the capability to turn the pedal off?
The reason I ask in one of our new Vendor's sell a brand that will turn the pedal off.
Sounds like a great anti-theft device. What do you-all think? dr.k.

The Soler Throttle Controller has a lock feature which disables the accelerator pedal.

I installed a Soler TC yesterday and all I have to say is WOW! This completely changed the personality of the car and I can say that it is the best money I have spent on the car so far. The throttle lag is gone and it gets into performance-shifting mode in a hurry on SP6. I am completely happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone not happy with the throttle lag. It is gone and the throttle response is so much more linear. I got lucky that it was a nice day and our roads haven't been salted yet due to lack of snow and ice this season. I was able to try it out a bit and ended up doing some useless driving just to cruise. it is kind of cool choosing your mode from the app.

I do have a 91mm Soler throttle body I got for Christmas, but I chose to wait until spring for that since you have to drive quite a bit to get the ECU to learn. I am not so sure I even need it, but it was a gift so I will use it.
