Question: Soler Throttle Controler
@Mike@SolerEngr does the Soler Throttle Controller negate the drive mode throttle mapping?
USE CASE: I install and set a Soler Throttle Controller to Sport 5. I set my drive mode to "Tour" and press the accelerator. I then set my drive mode to Track and press the accelerator. As a result one of the following are True:
- My throttle map and throttle response will remain the same because I set the Soler Throttle Controller to Sport 5 regardless of drive mode.
- My throttle map and throttle response changes because my drive mode changes. But, my throttle map and throttle response is different than OEM because I have a Soler Throttle Controller installed and set to Sport 5.
Which one is true?

Your drive mode (Tour, Sport, Track, etc.) still determines the base OEM throttle mapping programmed into the ECU. When you install the Soler Throttle Controller and set it to Sport 5, it modifies the pedal signal relative to that base map by increasing throttle sensitivity and ramp rate.
So the second scenario is correct:
When you change drive modes, the throttle map and response do change. However, they are no longer OEM because the Soler Throttle Controller is applying its Sport 5 sensitivity on top of whatever factory drive mode is selected.
In other words, you still retain all factory ECU and TCM logic tied to drive modes. The Soler controller does not override or interfere with those embedded functions. It simply reshapes the relationship between pedal position and throttle opening compared to OEM, based on the controller’s selected mode and level.
Factory drive mode sets the baseline.
Soler TC adjusts how aggressively the throttle responds on top of that baseline.

My bet is the second one. The throttle controller won't affect the ECU/TCM embedded functions based on settings within the car. The soler controller just changes the ramp rate vs throttle position as compared to OEM.
