Thank you. Yes, it looks fast, it is actually fast, but it doesn't feel fast, at least not as fast as the styling and the numbers suggest. Not anymore, we think you'll love our controller.
I installed it this morning and now the car feels 300 lbs. lighter. Awesome product. One question: I am using my iphone to control it. Is it necessary to go through the pairing procedure each time I start the engine because that is what I'm having to do.
I've put a few more miles on today. Started in a low comfort setting to get a feel for it. Bumped it up to 7 which felt great. Now I think I'm going to leave it in AI for a while. So far I love it. As far as what the device does,I know it has been discussed to death, but here is my take. It essentially does what the Track Key did in my 2013 Boss 302. According to Ford Performance the Track Key removed all the limiters from the throttle control so that it functioned the same as a physical throttle cable. So it isn't that this sort of device makes the car feel faster than it really is, it just removes the limiters that make the car feel slower than it really is.
I do have one installed. And what I’m saying is 100% correct.
Even Mike from Soler does not dispute my analysis and explanations of exactly what it does and doesn’t do.
Sorry, but most of us disagree with your "analysis." Which is nothing more than your opinion. If you can't feel a difference in the shifting, then I think you're lacking some nerve cells.

then why does the manufacturer not dispute my analysis?
SOLER CONTROL DOES NOTHING TO CHANGE SHIFTING
It only changes the rate at which the throttle opens relative to pedal movement based on the setting you select.
The description of what it does on the manufacturer’s website says the same thing and demonstrates what it does with graphs and stats.
Thinking it changes shifting is like thinking louder mufflers make you go faster.
I just installed mine and took it for a drive. It’s hard to believe it’s the same car, really doesn’t make sense because it seems to put me back in the seat more. I was skeptical but no longer, although I do enjoy set at sport 9
I do have a question for the experts. I didn’t plug in the controller display as I read you didn’t need it. I then went to pair it using my code and it couldn’t find device. My app worked just fine though as I tested several modes. Is this normal? I guess I see no reasoning for the display but I think the Bluetooth links the app to the display for some reason. installation is easy but I don’t contort like I used to…lol
Once you get used to a setting, boost it to the next highest. You may think ludicrous mode is unusable, but I assure you it isn't. It just takes adjusting yourself to the lower setting first. I gradually worked my way to Ludicrous 4. I love it and have no issues driving. It just takes time to train your right foot. If you think Sport 3 is a game changer, working your way up to Ludicrous mode will take your car to another level. Just don't let anyone else drive your car!

It baffles me why you seem to be so completely obsessed to prove something about this product and have a hardon for posting "clarifications" of others impressions. Just let it go and let everyone in this thread that have purchased and appreciate the product for what it does for the car and the driving experience enjoy it. If someone buys it and says it makes their car levitate why would you give a ****? You have made it more than abundantly clear you feel no difference whatsoever when using it so send it back for a refund or sell it to someone else. The overwhelming majority of those that have purchased the product like what it does and feel it is worth the purchase price.

As I stated in my earlier post.
"Great you are pleased with what it does"
How is that negative?
This gadget is all about the feel and the driving experience. For that purpose it works 100% as advertised.
My other comments are only to clarify that it does not make your car go faster, It does not alter how the car shifts and it does not do anything other than what it is advertised to do. And that it does very well.

Do you have another Chevy controller? I have one in my ct5 and it has the same Bluetooth signature. I have to repair when switching vehicles.
Got mine installed this morning. Skipped the screen entirely and went straight to the phone app Bluetooth pairing. I'll be starting with the AI setting to see how smart this thing is.
My only critique would be that I wish the 6' USB-C cable could be disconnected from the black control box to allow for a cleaner install. I've reached out to Mike asking if I can just clip it off.

No need to cut the cable...You know there is a slit in the carpet that allows you can to place both the connector and rolled up cable under the carpet rather than have them exposed for a truly stealth install...

Oh! Guess I'll be redoing the install tomorrow morning

Thank you.
Well, nevermind. I just took a test-drive and I guess it's just not a mod for me. I listed it for sale in the classifieds section if anyone wants it. I know you guys mostly seem to like Sport 3-5 or so, but that just felt way too aggressive for me. I found myself liking more like the Comfort 2-4 range, and with such a minimal change from stock no real reason to keep it. I do love the technology and app functionality of it! Very easy install with seamless integration and slick adjustability. Who knows, if it doesn't sell I'll just leave it installed, I don't hate it...
