This sounds really interesting. Hearing folks dropping seconds off of their lap time at a track they’ve run before is pretty encouraging.

First-timer in adjacent garage had one of these at my last event. Pretty useless for him, but the level of available post-session information and corner by corner analysis is nuts. Amazing graphics, seemed user friendly.
Have Solo 2, felt like I brought a typewriter to a tech convention.

Got to use mine for the first time today! Install was easy, and I am really impressed with the post session analysis. I can't get the audio to work consistently through the iDrive bluetooth however, and I can't hear the Garmin itself if I just use the built in speaker. Through the iDrive, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, although I think it's the crappy iDrive's blutooth, which has always been inconsistent in all my BMWs. Anyone have a solution?

I still hardwire into the garmin with a headpiece into my helmet. Zero issues and I can hear the instructions super clearly.

The data that it gives you after each session is incredible if you take the time to read it all and study it. One of the best tools I ever purchased.

OK I joined the Catalyst bandwagon and bought one. My main reason for buying one was that it seems to automate the type of analysis I already do with racechrono - compare laps in a session to my PB lap and see where I can make gains. I need more seat time with it before I write a full review but so far, the setup/interface is really easy, the display is very high quality, and its very simple to pull the videos out of the device and onto a PC if you need to. Overall, really good first impression - seems like a well thought out and well made product.
Question for folks that have one - how do you merge an OBDII data file to the Catalyst video? The catalyst in itself does not come with an OBDII adapter, so any idea what OBDII adapter plays nice with it and subsequently, can you share your workflow on the PC showing how to merge OBD data with video? (using Virb Edit perhaps?). It's really easy to pull out the video file in MP4 format from the Catalyst. It's also easy to pull the .FIT file from Garmin Connect. Virb edit software seems relatively easy to use and auto syncs the video with garmin's fit file. Only missing piece is to sync up OBDII channels for RPM and gear and I'm ready for my youtube fame! |

Gonna test a new mounting location in my e46 m3 for the Garmin. I was getting annoyed with how freakin large the screen is and to have it on the dash and in my field of view.
Garmin recommends that the screen is above the dash but I've been reading people not experiencing performance downgrades if it gets mounted more inboard and under the dash. So let's see... I'll have a member day on Sunday and will report back.

So let's see. If I notice significant different times between the aim (above the dash) to the garmin (below the dash) then it might be worth rethinking.
