AiM Solo 2 DL GPS Lap Timer with ECU Input

The Most Useful Device a Racing Driver Can Own

The AiM Solo 2 DL is a GPS lap timer and ECU data logger that captures lap times, sector splits, RPM, throttle position, temperatures, pressures, and other engine data through OBD-II, CAN/RS232, or RPM inputs. It combines predictive lap timing, Wi-Fi connectivity, and advanced race analysis in one compact device — available in NZ with fast dispatch from Harris Race Radios.

This is the device that separates drivers who guess from drivers who know. Whether you're chasing a club championship, setting personal bests on track days, or engineering a race car professionally — the Solo 2 DL gives you the information advantage. It's consistently rated among the best motorsport data loggers available in NZ and Australia at this price point, and for good reason.

Harris Race Radios are NZ and Australia's most experienced AiM specialists. We don't just sell you the unit — we help you get it connected, configured, and working with your car's ECU so you're logging data from your very first session.

What It Does — Four Tools in One

• GPS Lap Timer — precise lap and sector times accurate to ±0.02 seconds using GPS + GLONASS dual-constellation. Auto-recognises 3,000+ tracks worldwide on power-up.
• Race Data Logger — logs RPM, throttle position, temperatures, oil pressure, gear, lambda, speed, and more directly from your car's ECU via OBD-II, CAN/RS232, or coil RPM input.
• Driver Trainer — overlay your data in AiM Race Studio 3 to compare laps, identify braking points, find corner entry and exit gains, and benchmark yourself against your best.
• Predictive Lap Timer — real-time delta vs your best lap displayed on screen with LED indicators. Theoretical best lap assembles your fastest sector splits to show the lap time you're capable of.

Solo 2 DL vs Solo 2 — Which Do You Need?

The Solo 2 DL's combination of dual-constellation GPS, ECU data logging, Wi-Fi transfer, and free Race Studio 3 analysis software makes it one of the strongest value propositions in the circuit racing GPS timer and race telemetry system category in NZ and Australia.

Which Connector Do I Need?

• OBD-II — most road-based ECUs and many club racing cars. The most common choice for street-registered race cars and the easiest plug-and-play connection.
• CAN/RS232 — dedicated racing ECUs (Haltech, Link, MoTeC, Pectel, Syvecs, Emtron, etc.) and marine/boat applications. Required for extracting full channel data from a race ECU.
• RPM (Coil) — older or carburettor vehicles without an ECU; logs RPM only via ignition coil primary circuit. Best for classic or historic race cars.

ECU Compatibility

The AiM Solo 2 DL connects to a comprehensive range of road and race ECUs via OBD-II or CAN/RS232. Commonly supported ECUs include:

• Haltech (Elite, Nexus series) — CAN/RS232
• Link ECU (G4X, G4+) — CAN/RS232
• MoTeC (M1, M130, M84) — CAN/RS232
• Syvecs — CAN/RS232
• Emtron — CAN/RS232
• Bosch Motorsport — CAN/RS232
• Megasquirt — CAN/RS232
• Most OBD-II compliant road ECUs — standard OBD-II connector

If your ECU protocol is not natively listed, the ECU Driver Dash Builder within AiM Race Studio 3 allows you to configure a custom CAN/RS232 connection. Contact Aaron Harris to confirm compatibility for your specific application before ordering.

Key Features

• GPS + GLONASS dual-constellation — fast satellite acquisition, lap accuracy to ±0.02 seconds
• Direct ECU data logging — OBD-II, CAN/RS232, or coil RPM input
• 3,000+ track database — auto-recognises circuit on power-up; autolearning for unlisted tracks
• Predictive lap timing + theoretical best lap — real-time coaching every lap
• 7 user-selectable backlight colours — high-contrast display, readable in direct sunlight
• Integrated Wi-Fi — transfer data to laptop up to 50m away, no cables needed
• iPhone/Android app — quick data review and track database management trackside
• Integrated accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer — lateral and longitudinal G-force logging included

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AiM Solo 2 DL?

The AiM Solo 2 DL is a GPS lap timer and ECU data logger that captures lap times, RPM, throttle position, temperatures, pressures, and other engine parameters through OBD-II, CAN/RS232, or RPM inputs. It includes predictive lap timing, Wi-Fi connectivity, and works with AiM Race Studio 3 for full data analysis.

What is the difference between the AiM Solo 2 and the AiM Solo 2 DL?

The Solo 2 DL adds direct ECU data logging via OBD-II, CAN/RS232, or coil RPM input. The base Solo 2 records GPS lap times only. If you want engine data alongside your lap times, the DL is the one to get.

Is the AiM Solo 2 DL the best motorsport data logger for NZ club racing?

For club racers who want lap times and ECU data in a single compact unit, the Solo 2 DL is one of the strongest options available in NZ. It combines GPS+GLONASS precision, direct ECU logging, Wi-Fi data transfer, and free Race Studio 3 analysis software — at a price point that makes it accessible for serious club competitors.

Which connector option should I choose?

OBD-II suits most road-based and club racing ECUs. CAN/RS232 suits dedicated racing ECUs (Haltech, Link, MoTeC, etc.) or marine applications. RPM suits older or carburettor vehicles without an ECU. Contact Aaron Harris if you're unsure — we confirm the right option before you order.

Does the AiM Solo 2 DL work with my ECU?

AiM supports a comprehensive range of ECUs including Haltech, Link, MoTeC, Syvecs, Emtron, and most OBD-II compliant road ECUs. If your protocol isn't natively supported, the ECU Driver Dash Builder lets you configure a custom connection. Contact us and we'll check compatibility for your specific car.

Can I use it for driver coaching and data analysis?

Absolutely — that's one of its strongest features. AiM Race Studio 3 lets you overlay laps, compare channels, map braking points and corner speeds, and benchmark improvement over time. Many club racers use it as their primary coaching tool.

Is NZ and AU stock available?

Yes — Harris Race Radios holds NZ stock for fast local dispatch and ships directly to Australia.

What software do I use to analyse the data?

AiM Race Studio 3 is free to download from the AiM website. It provides full lap and channel data analysis, video overlay, and track map creation.
