Soler Throttle Controller or Pedal Commander

[CadillacJack22]

For those of you that have Soler Throttle Controller or Pedal Commander, I'm considering installing primarily for Anti-Theft Deterrent in my 5BW.
While the improved pedal response will also be a plus, have a couple questions on use.
I want the one that is the easiest and quickest to Turn-On and Turn-Off the Pedal Lock with my iPhone.

Is one of them Easier to control via iPhone?
Does the car have to be running, or can the car be off to change the Lock setting?
The Pedal Commander has a small subscription fee for the Lock feature - is wi-fi or cellular required to Turn On and Turn Off the Lock with it? (I sometimes park in parking garages without cellular coverage).
Does the Pedal Commander have the option to remove the Control Screen from the vehicle after installation and control only via iPhone?

I just installed the solar throttle controller for literally the exact same reason. I have had a pedal commander in the past (ChevySuburban), not on the 5v BW.

Honestly i think your best bet is the solar. No monthly fee, easy to connect and after every time I drive it, I pick up my phone and slide the lock throttle tab before turning car off. Zero complaints and has worked very well so far. Feel free to send PM to chat further if interested.

What happens if the phone or app stops working. Is there a manual method to enter a code to unlock.

Great point but I’d rather it be stuck with me than some thief joyriding my car after stealing it.

You're asking the right questions. If you really want a true second layer of protection that won't leave you stuck in the middle of nowhere, you may consider a company that makes anti-theft systems: Igla Kvant - IGLA US

This Kvant sounds like a nice alternative to the other IGLA product that requires wiring etc. Do you know anyone that has used it?

OP, sorry you had to deal with the bs and glad a dealer helped, particularly with this crappy weather.

I live West of what rdollie calls “muggy crime infested swamp” and as a real Texan, have no problem doing so. It’s not for everyone. I’ve lived in Dallas and Austin and regularly visit family in San Antonio. Yes, each have their pluses and minuses, but all just like any City in the beautiful USA have crime and theft areas. As previously mentioned, it can happen anywhere!
Hotels are magnets for theft and I book over 100 nights a year due to business travel. I’ve have had issues in many...

It seems @KatyTxCT5V got one of their systems, maybe the ODB blocker. I think you need an installer to do the work on most of the ILGA products, but when you're protecting >$100k rolling down the road it makes sense to do it right. I'm strongly considering when the goats are done playing with my car and it finally arrives.
