Default Soler Throttle Controller

For the people with the controller installed. Where did you mount the display?

I ran the cable along the console where it meets the carpet and tucked it up under the trim leaving the connector accessible. I unplugged the monitor an put it in the glove box and use the app to control it. If for some reason I need it I just plug it in. I have it set to SP5 and just leave it there.

Have it routed along the drivers side center console and into the arm rest.

I used Sp5 on c8 and found sp4 better on my eray. Likely due to the instant tq from the battery.

Mine too, left it out and use the App. You will love the lock feature.
I use it every time I park the car.

This is the main reason I'm thinking about one. Guess this basically disables throttle so at best someone could try to idle away with it? I park in my garage most of the time, but if I were to go to Tail of the Dragon, or anywhere where I had to leave it exposed this seems like it would be a great feature.

Do these things ever go on sale?

Why would you not just use the app?

I didn't, once I did the pairing I disconnected it. Controlling it is so much easier and better with the app. Plus I don't want anyone to know I have it, especially thieves!

Its connected in there, but I use the app.
Was SP9 for a while, now SP6> smoother, not as notchy.
Haven't touched it for a while, no need.
Car drives perfect!

Saw a video by Rick Conti on a neat way to thread the wire and keep the controller in the console storage area under the hatch

Mine is in the center console routed just like Father Chuck showed on Rick Conti's YT channel. Pretty much leave it in SP5 now.

You talking about the little LCD controller where you set modes, or the actual box/controller with the plugs for the accelerator? Just curious where most folks put that box. Thinking of getting one of these mostly for the anti-theft potential.

The LCD controller. The video shows a nice way to tuck both out of the way unobtrusively
