AIM Datalogger

I'm looking at installing one of AIM Sportline's data logging systems and was wondering if anyone here has done it? They now have an F series ECU defined in their software, but the channels seem limited (no boost for instance).

I'd be interested to see how you fitted it, which cabling option etc.

I'd like to display custom values like meth pressure / ethanol content too.

I run an AIM SOLO DL and am currently looking to tap into the CAN BUS to extract more channels. Have you had any luck looking into this?

Yes, though i got an AIM MXS in the end, but i tapped into the same place as the Awron gauge, the FEM. Just follow their instructions and then use the F series ECU profile.

Sadly i don't get things like engine mode which is a pain, but get everything critical.

What is the advantage you get with MXN instead of Solo DL?

Any pics on how you mounted the MXS?
