Default Solar Performance Throttle controller

I purchased a throttle controller for my C8 Z06 a few months ago. The problem I am having is when I start the car I use only the app only, doesn’t connect to Bluetooth all the time. I have to manually go to app on iPhone and pair to the car. I realized even more when I was out with the car parked and locked the gas pedal. When I restarted the car I could not deselect the gas pedal from the lock position. The error message on my app on phone said can’t connect to blue tooth?? TO get out of lock thankfully I paired to vehicle on the app and that allowed the pedal normally? Is this normal? I thought the iPhone would pair with blue tooth as soon as I started the car? I tried looking up my exact situation, didn’t see a post with my condition

‘I spoke to Teegan at Solar Performance, advised me what to check. Deleted the Solar app and re-downloaded the app, rebooted my iPhone, and disconnected the battery about 20 minutes. The Soler performance controller now works perfect. Many thanks to Teegan at Soler performance, the customer service is great.👍

With your gas pedal locking up and remote start unreliable, it may be a wise decision to bring your C8 to a Chevrolet dealership for inspection. If you'd like assistance connecting with one in your area, simply email socialmedia@gm.com more information on your Corvette. Please also include your username and forum title in the subject line for referencing.
