Is the Aim solo2 DL compatible with the NFGT ECU?

It's a data logger that can plug into your obd II port and give you a wealth of information as your drive. Normally people use them for lap times, but It can log so much more including engine data, throttle, brake and a host of other information. It can be overlayed on track maps and video so you can really learn what you are doing right and wrong and also know what is happening with your car as you put it though the paces. Of course, there is so much data it can collect it is only as good as the person that can interpret it.

I’d assume yes, for compatibility, since it’s obd2. You can run it without obd data and just use the gps for lap times. Just make sure you turn the “auto off” feature off. I learned the hard way without obd or canbus data, it will turn itself off after 10 min on track unless you change the factory default.

Just made a practice mounting in the NFGT with mine. Since there is some concern about mounts on the windshield i found a place on the center console passenger side that woks. I have several different length RAM mounting arms and ball connectors that allow the AIM DL2 solo unit to be mounted so that I could touch the buttons when belted in.
I don't see an ECU Ecoboost OBDII protocal program listed on AIM's website that you could use to access the full OBDII data stream generated by our cars. What info you would get would be very basic consiting of speed and time. They don't have one either for the 2005-06 GT's or I've not found it yet.
You might be able to tie directly into the CAN bus, but that would require tapping/cutting into the wiring harness which I'm not willing to do.

I've done a 150 mile drive with the RAM mount suction cup and holder for my phone mounted to the left of the steering wheel on the flat carbon fiber part of the dash. Didn't have any issues so don't see why attaching a radar unit would cause a problem.
I have found that the lap time alone is the "carrot" hanging in front of my face to PUSH harder (sometimes too hard, chill, its an expensive street car). Have full aim data in race racecars, and indeed, its overwhelming. Always wish I could have Ahlman with me at the track to translate.

I would be afraid I'd damage that since it is touch sensitive. Have you done this on other cars/screens?
