INTERVIEW WITH JOE FROM SOLAR PERFORMANCE

Chuck has done the best show and tell on this solar pedal controller awsome job
Chuck is absolutely the best super tech! He should teach techs! Outstanding
Watching our blessed Father Chuck's inspiring install sold me!! Thank you Rick and Chuck, for our continuing education and fun. Sport 5 here we come!
awesome thank John, hope you are well sir - email me an update pic of the car for the rides segment
Subscribed, purchased, drank to Kool aide, swallowed the bait... After Pastor Chuck's easy install video, this is simply a no brainer - even for me! Thank you and can't wait for the Throttle Controller to arrive!!!
Thanks Mike, appreciate the support sir
Chuck has the solution to any installation and makes it look easy. What a great product Rick, throttle controller anything to stop car theft.
WOW Rick and Chuck what a great addition to the Corvette's!! Life's a dream, Drive It!!👍🏽👊🏽
I ordered mine after watching Rick's conversation with the company's CEO. I can't wait to get it! Thanks for turning me on to this. You guys are great.
@@MattHatfield-pb7yk thank you for that , you will love it and hope tonight’s install helps you
Just installed mine after watching Chuck. Have had one for a year but was concerned about installing it myself. They r amazing! Enjoy
Have had a Soler Controller for a year concerned if I installed it there would be a problem. This morning after watching Father Chuck install one I put mine in. WOW everything I’ve heard about how great these r is true! Thanks guys, ur a great team. Keep it up, I’m one of ur best fans 🎉.
Rick Chuck the mechanic is phenomenal and he seems like such a great guy. You are very very very lucky to have somebody at that level of skill to be able to be at your side and help you the way he does… You both complement each other but there’s nothing in this world like having a great mechanic for your car and you have that God bless you And God bless Chuck. He reminds me of the mechanics that I worked with in the Air Force very knowledgeable very skilled and very good with people thanks Chuck for all the hard work that you do. Don’t ever think it goes unappreciated love you like a brother thank you for sharing your brilliance with the🌎🇺🇸🙏✝️☮️⭐️😇✈️👍
Chuck is the man. I like the way he things and finds a better solution.
On my 2023 HTC I was able to access the connection without removing the pedal, but I ran my wires exactly like Chuck did. I was floored by the difference in performance! I am driving mine mostly in SPORT 5, SPORT 9 is awesome but it can be touchy.
Rick! Absolutely LOVE my throttle controller and YES can be used as anti theft device by basically turning throttle off
Not that u would VER valet your car but if you did…./ can use it for that as well
Nice "how-to" by Chuck. He is a great Vette technician but I'm amazed at how cluttered his tool box is. I'm sure he knows exactly where everything is.
I'll be installing mine today. Just waited to see if you had any issues! And one small suggestion on the steering wheel lock Rick; put the key hole to the dash so thieves can't simply drill it out. As always, thank you!
Love my Soler throttle control in my C6 and use sport 9 too. It gets on it so fast it makes my head spin. Can't wait to fire it up and go go go 😊
Kudos to Chuck for explaining the software update for the gateway module. His explanation was on point. I have not had any problems with downloads but received the email. I just had my 2023 done and the car was in the shop for 5 hours. I did not talk to the Vette Tech so I don’t know how long the process took. My dealer provides complementary transportation to home and back so the project was painless.
Great how to by Father Tech Chuck! Can’t wait to install my controller!
Nice , clean. Stealthy install.
Received my Soler throttle controller last week. Used rick5 for discount, thanks! Plan to install it this weekend. Nice to see Chuck install controller under the carpet. I had the same idea and could not figure out why Soler doesn't show it installed that way. Common sense? Think I'll locate the controller display in console compartment as you have to keep it out of sight. As you, one of the main features is the throttle lock. The other features are just icing on the cake . . . fun factor. 👍
The next day. Installed the Soler Throttle controller. Piece of cake, quick install. Took a few tries to get it to pair up, other than that it works everything went smoothly. Now the funs begins . . .
Rick, I absolutely LOVE MY NEW Z06 HTC! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this opportunity happen. Can hardly wait to see how it performs with the throttle controller given the responsiveness of the flat plane crankshaft. I have a Soler Performance throttle controller on my 2 Shelby GT 350 Mustangs and my 2021 Corvette HTC. I did not realize that you can make the throttle inoperable by using that simple mode. I’m also considering getting the Club for the new Z06 too. We currently live in a messed up world of increasing crime. Thanks again my friend.
We get so much super feedback from z06 owners!
You’ve convinced me to go Soler! Love “Frankenvette” and your favorite accessory has to be the trailer hitch. :)
Thanks so much and good guess.....
Thanks and you are going to love it! Joe @Soler
Nice addition ! I'll get one coming asap. Nice install by Chuck 1
Wow, Rick! Looks like a lot of fun! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Margret was that your c5 in the rides segment?
@@stevedolan5065 it sure is! Isn't she beautiful!
@@margaretmesacortez2421 yes indeed…keep driving it like you stole it! 😎
@@stevedolan5065 every chance I get!
Mine is set at Sport 5. Love that Lime Green Z06. C'mon Chev, lets get some colors!!
Great instructional video! Thank you!
Thank-you for watching
Great Tech Tuesday. Chuck makes it look easy as usual.
Thanks for the info Rick and Chuck.
Frankenvette I love it. I’m going to ditch my Range and get this Solar performance for my c7
That lime green Corvette @ 22:33 is 👌
We need more exotic colors!!!
And they need to be metallic to show off those body lines!
As much as I love the Amplify Orange and Rapid Blue at times, the pastel paint doesn't cut it!
good tip chuck, bad form on scratching rick's plastic peddle though!
Chuck leaning in your doors killed me. Otherwise, good work
I installed mine last week, went on a trip and just got home to drive it. I watched your video first . I installed it on my C7similar to how Chuck did yours. It disables the throttle in lock mode so I think the Club is still needed to keep them from driving off in it at idle. Mine is also a 7 speed so it also has a third Millennial deterrent!! What driving mode did you have your car in? I had mine in Touring and it spun the tires in 4th gear!! So much fun!!!!
Excellent install! You can't really tell that it is there that way.
Chuck does it again! But, in all honesty, I would have preferred to see YOU try to install it. I bought one (and used your discount code), installed it in my garage by myself. It wasn't as easy as Chuck (or the video) makes it seem. Also, for Soler, why must the app need access to my pictures, emails, and everything else on my phone. Because of the HUGE intrusion of my privacy, I deleted the app. All-in-all I love the controller though.
You laughing is cracking ME up! LOL
Ric I wanted to thank you for the great informative videos you make. One question I have about the Soler pedal features that weren't really covered. Would you mind making a followup video showing how the app and controller work in regards to disabling the accelerator? Show us what happens when you try to start the vehicle as well as explaining how the controller works in that mode? Will the vehicle start but just not drive? Thanks, Ric
@@NemesisVegas-vc8ff great idea sir. I hope rick follows thru
I have it on my Z06 along with the Soler Ported Throttle Bodies and Paragoms Eventuri CAI. I have tracked it and it is amazing! 😁
@@WildCPA how long (in terms of miles) have you have the controller installed on the Z? Any issues such as engine lights?
@@Texas_Clay I put it on within a couple of months. I installed it with paragons straight pipe catback exhaust, Soler ported throttle bodies, and the Eventuri CAI. It has been great. I had one on my C6 GS and my C8 Stingray. I like the throttle response. It does not add HP but it is quicker because of the drive by wire lag without it. No issues whatsoever with check engine lights.
@@WildCPA thank you sir. I ordered one and now plan to install. My reason is solely for the anti-theft protection.
I do plan to install the eventuri intake in the future
I have a 24 riptide blue z 51 coupe
Installed the Soler controller
Have it set at sport 7 or 8
The difference is amazing a game changer in throttle response , you can definitely feel it
Recommend it 100% !!
Money well spent!
Thanks it is a game changer good call!
Great tips by Chuck! I might have to get one for the new Z 🤔 Love the hot wheels of the C4X4 💯
Ordered mine yesterday. Just curious about the changes using weather mode, sport mode, touring mode...
Thanks Rick. Just ordered mine!!
Father Chuck, you are the best!! My C7 has a similar leather covered panel by my right leg and it unclips exactly as the C8! I now have my controller in my console and no one can see the wiring! Should I remove the controller when I park the car ? Thanks so much for your video!! It, as usual, is the best anywhere!!!
Thank you Rick for putting my Baby ORGZMMC in Your Beautiful Rides!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Thanks Rick and Chuck for the info 👍🏾 also I've seen 4×4's in Carlisle have fun. Can you let us know about the great pricing like the good old days 😂. Nosale 🙏🏾
got one for my c7 and c8, I havent installed it in the c8 zo6 yet but i will in a few, once I get my miles in.
Just installed it about to drive the freaking zo6 c8
Way to go Chuck! Chuck is the Boss!
Come on now.. I know you must have edited out the part where Chuck chewed you out for messing with the electronics of the car. 😝
Rick, another suggestion to add with the solar controller is to add an obd2 port blocker!!! I got an awesome one from maverick man carbon. Between the 2 devices you'd really slow down would be thieves. Thanks for all your content!
On my Z06 I drive around town in sport 9. On the track I put it in Ludicrous 9. It does not add horsepower, but I definitely believe it is quicker. It removes the lag in the drive by wire so it is more nimble and responsive. I am very satisfied with the Soler Throttle Controller. I had one on my C6 GS and my C8 Stingray before the C8 Z06.
I bought the soler performance 4 years ago, and have used a lot more fuel!
🤣🤣🤣👊👊👊
Oof, that scratch on the pedal plastic at 4:10! The car is totaled!
So, can the car still be towed? and will it void the warranty
Another great VLOG!
In repairing your windshield, how does the pdr get put back in the windshield, Rick?❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
I love the Frankenvette name!
Rick consider how you utilize that on the track carefully. You have become accustomed to a certain throttle response and any change may put you in the spin cycle instantly.
Well, I ordered it and we’ll see how long it takes to ship.
Thanks Johnny told they will be restocked Friday
Note date listed on site. Item was back ordered and two hurricanes have not been helpful with shipments . It’s worth the wait we guarantee it! Thanks for your order. Joe @ Soler
The look on your face tells us that controller works real good! 😂😂
@@stevedolan5065 thanks , it did freak me out at first , I love it
Changes whole dynamic of this 490+ HP car. ✅
Rick- what are your concerns for warranty mishap using solar throttle controller
Man looks like fun !!!!!!
Rick, try the AI setting on the Soler, see what you think. It’s suppose to create a driving profile based on your driving. The device is a blast on my C7 GS M7. I can only image it’s more pronounced on an automatic transmission.
I prefer the Comfort settings. You can tune out the factory lag without making the acceleration feel artificial. In city driving in the Sport modes and higher when the DCT is in auto it tends to downshift with the slightest throttle opening resulting in more acceleration and noise than is necessary. I came from an E85-tuned 2020 Supra. The first thing I noticed about my 2023 C8 is that it really didn't feel all that fast in normal driving in comparison. The Soler Controller cured that. It still isn't nearly as fast as the Supra at WOT. My upcoming E Ray will cure that.
I just bought the Soler Throttle Controller and haven’t installed it because I am in Cape Coral Florida under a mandatory evacuation order because the expected storm surge is forecasted to be 8-12 feet. If that happens my house and my beloved C8 will be underwater! It’s up on a a Quickjack but that may not be nearly enough.😢
Wishing you best.
Change the security code on your phone. You shared it with the world😉.
This excites me and I am waiting for GM to accept the order for my Z06.
Hey john, you’re gonna love the Z06. What color and spec did you order?
@@Texas_Clay Coupe, red mist 3LZ, satin graphite with red stripe wheels, carbon flash splitter and ground effects, front lift, radiator guards,engine appearance package black exhaust tips,black interior with two tone red and black seats,stealth package, level 2 carbon. This is all from memory so there may be a few other items. The dealer called in August and told me that I have an allocation. I am just waiting for GM to pickup the order.
@@johnhupp8444 nice.
Question, if the6 break into your car and disconnect the module, can they then start up after they have cloned the fob?
Do you need to download the app on a smart phone? Or could you just use the controller?
Great product, if you leave the controller in the console what is stopping a would be thief to change setting to sport and then go if you have it shut off.
Only the Bluetooth app has the lock and unlock feature.👍
Rick -- does the electronic unit have any impact on the factory warranty covering electronics?
Yes, my question as well. What's Chuck's opinion?
@@charlestolson1495folllowing
Following…I have the same questiom
great video. Where did you get the wheel lock or what brand is it?
at full throttle in the most responsive mode is it equivalent to stock or is there and increase over oem full throttle? thanks great video 🏎️
All things being equal in ludicrous mode ,as just one example, we get to WOT at half pedal. OEM would have to go to the floor to get to WOT. In addition OEM will have that programmed lag and ramping factor.
Love Frankenvette!! But C4x4 is cool! And shorter!
Take Chuck on the test drive!
Where did you get the Jake decal on your car? Will the ZO6 decal work on C8 stingray?
Whoa!💙🧜♀️
I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on the 2025 c8 z06 hold currently going on. Seems like no one is talking about it .
I love the idea of this device BUT...I'm concerned that, because it is "outside" of the car as manufactured, it will void my warranty. Ideas??
Chuck you are the man !! Rick, I think your face is stuck in the smile position. Is there an app on your phone that turns it off?
Yes can be cell Bluetooth only or can install the lcd small screen
We have had issues with this product setting P2138 app sensor 1 and 2 implausible. 2019 C7 Z06, I know there is the bulletin for water intrusion, did not see that. Have not duplicated the issue after removing the Soler device.
Hi Rick 💓
Does the module controller stay in your car? If so can't someone operate the car is using that without the app?
You do not need to leave the module controller in your car you can operate totally via Bluetooth on your cell. The module is an optional install .
Is it ok to use this device on an Eray
@@Goodtobejim yes thanks for asking
Hi Rick, Wouldn’t another deterrent be to turn off your key fob remotes (all of them) to prevent scanners picking up signal? Then turn key fob on as you get ready to use the key fob remote. This would also save the key fob battery.
Liketogofast...how would you "turn off" the key fob remote??
@@dvwash145
I believe that this will stop the fob from constantly sending the signal until you press the key fob.
To disable Keyless Open (not available on all vehicles):
With the vehicle off, press and hold the Lock and Unlock buttons on the key fob for three seconds.
The turn signal lamps will flash four times to indicate it’s disabled. Now to unlock the vehicle and disarm the alarm system, you will have to press the Unlock button on the key fob.
To enable Keyless Open:
With the vehicle off, press and hold the Lock and Unlock buttons on the key fob for three seconds.
The turn signal lamps will flash two times to indicate Keyless Open is enabled.
Chuck. What keeps the person stealing your car from just disconnecting the controller in your console and stealing the car?
If the car is lock mode , the controller in the car cannot unlock only the cell app can👍
I’m assuming that you’ve got a lock the throttle before you get out of the car? Otherwise I’m not sure how the receiver gets the programming. I imagine you couldn’t do it over the phone long distance.
Hello Ricky
Does this throttle control unit VOID any warranty that the car has? Because if it doesn’t take my money….
It does not we talked about that in original interview - later I will link that talk with discount link
Will not void warranty does not change the cars tune or fuel trims. Some say Best mod ever! Joe @soler
Rick slow down or pretty soon you're going to break the sound barrier😂
I like Frankenvette!
Can you do a demo for the C7?
Did my own install and ran all wiring behind carpet, now there is no obvious change from before.
They make them for C6 also
Rick goggle the IGLA security system and tell me what you think ..
***SOLER PERFORMANCE DELIVERY TIMES****
Hi All!
First and foremost thank you Rick for your review and to all those who have ordered our Controllers! So pleased by the overwhelming positive feedback!
We strive to ship ASAP but as I am sure you all realize with the two major hurricanes in the last two weeks, USPS, FEDEX AND UPS have all issued delivery delays. PLEASE BE PATIENT AND THE SLIGHT DELAY WILL BE WELL WORTH THE RESULT ONCE YOU RECEIVE AND INSTALL IT!
Our hearts and prayers go out to those who suffered losses through these violent storms. Many thanks. Joe @Soler
@@joelanza4755 maybe a dumb question but will this work with stock throttle body or do I need yours ? Thanks
Stock will work just fine! Enjoy Joe @Soler
Stock is just fine!
My prayers go out to the Hurricane victims. 🙏
Quick question. I ordered on 10/9, website said back ordered until 10/11, and it’s still showing that my order is still listed as Pending. Did you get the back ordered shipment on 10/11, or are you still waiting for those to come in before you can ship?
@@BandDirectorHi, we are getting a large shipment now confirmed, early part of next week and have all the shipping boxes and labels ready to fire out . We updated the date on the site. Again, apologies for this delay! Thanks for your patience to the situation and enjoy! Best, Joe@Soler
I like a soft throttle tip-in.
Try Comfort setting better than stock less response than Sport mode .
I like frankenvett
When you shut off the pedal using the app can a thief turn it back on using the display unit?
Only on phone Bluetooth app- lock and unlock .
Where did chuck get that head light, I need that!
Yea who makes that puppy?
@@frankkeel8410agree. I want one too
Try and get warranty when they see that ludicrous mode. Ricky won’t tell you about that. They are always looking to void warranty
Jerry- do you have any experience with being denied warranty? Pls share.
Addressed Magnuson law in first video. Best Joe@soler
