Hey everyone, putting together a quick Soler Throttle Controller FAQ to help answer some questions we’ve been getting. Hope these answers will save you some time.
• Does the display have a lock mode? No. Once paired through Bluetooth, you can remove the display and keep it in the glovebox or at home if preferred.
• Does the controller need calibration or update recovery? No. It’s plug-and-play and works with the factory system automatically, including with other bolt-on mods.
• Can I unplug the display while the car is on? No. Only disconnect or reconnect the display with the vehicle fully off and in sleep mode.
• Does the controller itself have to stay installed for the app to work? Yes. The controller must remain installed and powered on. Only the display can be removed.
• Can the controller/wiring be hidden? Absolutely. Most customers tuck everything behind dash panels or carpet trim.
• Does my phone need to be near the car for Bluetooth? Yes. You’ll need to be inside the vehicle with it powered on.
• Where do I find the 4-digit pairing code? With the display installed: Hold both buttons on the display and the code will appear. Without the display: Use the last 4 digits of the serial number on the silver sticker located on the small black box near the pedal assembly.
• The app won’t connect after denying Bluetooth permissions. Fix? Delete the app, reinstall it, restart your phone, and make sure Bluetooth permissions are allowed during setup.
• Will current controllers work on the upcoming 2027 C8 Grand Sport? We recommend holding onto your current DLX controller for now. We haven’t fully tested the new Grand Sport yet, but compatibility is very likely.
• Does the controller override factory drive modes? No. Tour, Sport, Track, etc. still function normally. The Soler controller operates independently and adjusts throttle sensitivity separately through the display or app.
• Can multiple phones pair to the controller? Yes. Multiple phones can pair, and it’ll connect to whichever phone opens the app first while in the vehicle. -Tiffany Soler Performance https://www.solerengineering.com/ Discount Code: TIFF5OFF Text/Call: 251-468-9786 support@solerengineering.com
Thanks Tiffany, that is helpful. One last question from me - Is there a battery in the display?
Glad everything I mentioned was helpful! Good question. There is not a battery in the display. It only receives power when plugged into the USB-C connection with the vehicle turned on.
Hi Tiffany
Just ordered 92mm TB with TC for my 2016 Z06. Just checking in to make sure order goes well. I ordered the silver but is the black anodized a bit more robust?
I have also ordered the GM CAI which I will install as well. Hopefully will cleanup throttle response.

Hi Terry,
I do see your order here and everything looks good on our end. Thank you for the order and for the support!
As for the finishes, both the silver and black anodized versions are exactly the same besides the finish itself. They both offer the same performance increase and airflow/CFM numbers, so there is no performance advantage between the two.
The GM CAI paired with the 92mm throttle body and throttle controller should definitely help clean up the throttle response nicely.
The Soler Throttle Controller is the real deal. I installed one on my 2019 GS and on my AT4. A big improvement. Would highly recommend these products. I am very pleased with them.

Thank you so much for the kind words and support! We are really glad to hear you have been enjoying the throttle controllers on both your GS and your AT4. We truly appreciate the recommendation and are happy the products made such a noticeable difference for you!
