You can see slight changes in fuel economy, typically around ±1–2 MPG, but it really depends on how the car is driven.

With both the throttle controller and throttle body, if you’re driving the same as before, some people do notice a small improvement. But if you’re enjoying the increased responsiveness a bit more, fuel economy can stay the same or even drop slightly.

So overall, it’s more driver-dependent than anything.

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.

My wife and I were going to dinner a couple of weeks ago (ironically to meet one of our friends who just bought a C8). While we were at a stop light I was explaining to her with great passion and enthusiasm about the Solar Controller and what it does. After my detailed summary, I get this from her:

hmmmmmmmmmmm.
