Hi,
Just reaching out to find out if any has used the Soler Performance Throttle Controller or Pedal Commander ?
And if so , what your thoughts are in either one...
Thanks and will wait with bated breathe to hear back...
I bought the controller first, tried all the different settings and was pleasantly surprised with the range of adjustability. Then I purchased throttle body on an exchange basis and returned the original for a refund. I received an e-mail from UPS saying the TB had just been delivered to Soler, literally within 5 minutes I received a notice from PayPal stating my refund had been received. Great products and a great person to do business with, you will not regret your purchase.
Great news...thanks !
Next question is why the Soler less expensive vs the Pedal Commander, i am under the impression they do the same thing only the Pedal Commander is blue tooth friendly.

Dave, have you tried the Soler Ported Throttle Body? Just curious because I'm about to send mine off as soon as this So.TX winter storm passes... it seems that everyone that has purchased one is more than happy with the performance of it. If you have an otherwise experience, I'd appreciate you sharing before I spend a few hundred bucks!
I do not have a Solar , I have a EDGYVETTE Ported throttle body as Solar was not around when I made my mods , and they are both worth it . The off idle stumble stumble is gone and the throttle response is much better . I would also recommend the Solar throttle controller, again I don't have one, I have a Vitesse but the operation of the Solar is the same at 1/2 the price of the Vitesse , it gives you the ability to tailor the throttle response to your liking
I pulled the TB off the wife's '15 M7 Z51 car and sent it in on a Tuesday and received it back in the mail the following Tuesday (fits in a medium USPS priority mail box BTW with plenty of room for soft packaging). As far as installation I disconnected the negative terminal, installed the TB and had the car running within 10 minutes it is that easy! Followed the drive learning which took less than 30 minutes and it has made the car much better drive ability off idle, prior I would stall the car 1 out of 10 times leaving a stop sign as anyone knows with these M7's as they can have a unpredictable flat spot but not anymore. I am thinking of doing our 2019 GS A8 car as well soon.

I installed the Solar Throttle Controller and its definitely a game changer. What a difference in the driving experience!! I KNOW it does not make the car any faster but I do know the driving experience is off the chain now. I went for an hour drive this afternoon and there are no words to explain the functor the throttle controller added. Much less expensive than the Pedal Commander and works just the same, minus the BT capability.
I recommend it. It will completely change the driving experience. More fun.
