Google severely limits the kinds of apps they allow to work within AA. Navigation, music and weather have pretty much been it, although there's now a garage door opener app that will work in AA. Your idea would be really nice, but probably not going to happen.

I realize the Soler controller does not affect vehicle performance, but I do believe the more aggressive acceleration from 0% to normal cruising speed results in more aggressive shift points from the DCT. Just one more benefit of the Soler controller!

When I installed the soler controller on my c7, it was tough to get everything wired up at the gas pedal, but I was able to do it. I recently got a c8 and for the life of me I could not get the connector at the end of the wire harness to detach from the pedal assembly. I must have spent an hour contorted underneath the dash trying to remove it but it won't budge. Is there a special trick to getting the connector to detach on the c8 from the pedal assembly or is there a special tool that I need to use? I'm starting to think that unlocking the connector (pulling the red lock tab up) has no effect. Maybe the mechanism is broken and it's permanently locked. Or someone in Bowling Green decided what a good prank it would be to superglue them together

I was finally able to get it to detach... I had to put on a pair of gloves with some grip and once the red tab was in the unlock position, I pressed down on the red tab (not to the lock position) and kind of forward in one motion. Phew. Took the car out for a drive afterwards and thoroughly enjoyed sport mode. What a difference.

I had to uninstall my Soler yesterday to get my '21 HTC ready to sell since my ZO6 should be here by the end of the month. I certainly forgot what a difference it made having gotten accustom to it.

OK. I've been a naysayer on the Soler TC for a couple months.
Well today I drove my Vette and did notice that a quick blip on the pedal really did nothing like when I do it on my 67 Vette.
So I ordered the Soler TC today.
Once installed I'll give by personal experience report.

Ditto!
My review: Soler Controller = Instant acceleration on Sport 4/ or 5 and a WOW experience well beyond OEM. I have had several months installed with no looking back!!! Accept those behind me. 👍🏻 LOL!
