Love mine as well—Sport 5 for me.
heads up though, never change the setting while driving.
i made that mistake and I lost ALL throttle at the pedal.
scared the crap out of me. I had to come to a complete stop, place in park, then changed to another setting and it’s been fine ever since.

If I remember correctly, (I read the instructions, a while ago and don't yet own unit) there was something about waiting 10 minutes or something?
Are the instructions completely clear? Has anyone had to deal with the error code situation?
I'm considering one but am not much of a mechanic and am nervous about such things.

You'll be fine. You're not working on anything mechanical. The install should take about 10 minutes and is straightforward, depending on how agile you are. Be sure to slide the driver's seat all the way back and the steering wheel all the way in and up first for better access to the gas pedal. I left my driver's side door open for about 20 minutes prior and waited for the car's computers shut down. You can tell this when the interior lighting turns off. The hardest part is in maneuvering yourself to reach the gas pedal in order to disconnect the connectors. Follow the instructions I posted above and ensure to push in the black plastic tab underneath after the red tab is unlocked. Everything else is the same as the printed instructions and videos.

2024 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I'm really thinking about getting this. For those that installed it, what did you do with the USB-C cable? I don't see the need for the module when the App seems like a much better way to switch between modes (other that the initial power-up to get the App going). Is there a way to just run that cable behind the carpet so it isn't visible?

I just tucked the blue tooth module behind the gas pedal, there's a little cavity there. It's really the only place it can go. Then, I tucked the cable up and under the top of the carpet. It will all be pretty invisible from the cabin.

I tucked the control module behind the gas pedal carpeting, leaving only the Soler connector to the gas pedal exposed. I then tucked the USB-C cable between the carpet and the driver's side console for easy access, if needed. I keep the LED module inside the console in case I need to connect it.

Single best mod for $200
I was at Corvettes at Carlisle at the Soler booth and it was crazy the number of people who had this product raving about it . Best quote I heard was “single best mod you can do for $200”! I agree with that having it in my C7 and C8 on Sport 5 setting .
