I have a new 718 clubsport with a Cosworth Dash and I’m having trouble downloading or uploading each individual track to the dash.
It will record the lap time live at the track but will not save the run or the best for the day.
I was wondering if anybody had a DIY set up for this Cosworth so that we could change for each individual track.
I have the PI toolbox but I am a little computer illiterate.

Thanks Peter
I will keep working on it.
By the way, the aim 2 you sold me is working perfect and gives me excellent post drive video and info.
I love the auto start/ stop on the video.
One question about the Aim, do I need to charge the aim battery if I am recording for DE? It’s on for 30 minute intervals does it self charge while running?
I will keep working on it.

Buy an AIM Solo DL2 and use the 718 GT4 template which gives you everything you need. Then import it into Track Attack because AIM is pathetic.

I can supply 718 GT4 CS plug and play cables for power, ground and car information to the AiM Solo 2 DL, about $83.30 shipped. It's nice.
Again, this is why the Racelogic Video VBOX HD2's are such a popular choice for the 981 GT4 CS, 991 GT2 RS CS and the 718 GT4 CS.
I don't care what people buy, I sell and support ALL of it.
Just as long as they use something...

Thanks all,
I appreciate the help as I am slowly gathering it all together,
I will eventually speak with the Porsche of North America to get some templates for the various tracks.
I will then figure out how to import them into Cosworth and the aim2.
Right now I am doing this just for lap times and so the car knows where I am for the camera.
It seems to be about three orders of magnitude more complicated when we start talking about lap data. That’s why this is a hobby not a profession👍🏼

I've supplied just the SmartyCam GP V2.2, antenna and plug and play cable to many 718 GT4 CS owners.
Fully instrumented videos with lap times, all automatic. No loading of tracks because it's already done and automatic.
Here's an example of this set up I supplied in an older Club Sport, it would look like this:
Here's the alternative VBOX that I supplied for a 718 GT4 CS:

Peter thanks for posting those videos. My smarty cam go 2.2 that you sold me shows that exact top video. With the exception of the throttle and the brake only go about 20% across the field even at full brake or full throttle. I am unsure how to fix this but it may be firmware?
The video is beautiful and it works very well after I stop the car and drop the chip into my laptop.
I was hoping to have the lap timer on my dash which is Cosworth work in a similar manner.

No way to do the Cosworth Lap Time easily without either a beacon or setting up the coordinates for each track with the optional GPS antenna.
