Jeff, the odo mile/km confusion has been fixed in this release, too. I did a fuel calculation and it began reading in miles accurately.
I did not have to build a new config to make this work, but I discovered later (second and third runs after the update and implementation of the PreCalc Gear) that I have a bug or two (lost the PreCalc after power cycles), so I think I will do what gobuffs did. Build a new one.
Eventually, this won't be necessary, IMO, as the releases become less groundbreaking. Just thankful for the implementation of new features. Italy says they're hoping implementation of WiFi is next...

One thing that is promising is that the Italian factory had hired a trained technical writer from the German importer to finish just this sort of thing. It's coming...

New web updates management: now it is possible to download device firmware even if no device is connected. Devices will be updatable once connected
Now it is possible to show odometers and lap times information on the display and to remove undesired fields

Can't figure out how to display the odometer; it doesn't appear on any the list of display variables in the new RS3 app. I finally found it by going into the menus via the buttons on the side of the dash. With no explanation in the "manual", apparently this is the only way to view the value.

I downloaded it via cable, figuring/hoping that it needs the new sw in place first before it can do wireless downloads. It's kind of funny how it says that firmware can be loaded with no device connected, but also says devices will be updated once connected? Wirelessly I guess.

You can view the odometers on the righthand (firmware?) tab in RS3 when connected to the dash.

Regarding the odometer, where is it getting the signal that it's totalizing? Seems like it could be the speed signal from CAN, a signal from the speed sensor on the transmission, a wheel sensor, or GPS speed.

issues with new mxl2 code (1.14.42)?
I was at a brand new race track in the northeast (Palmer Motorsports Park) for 2 days over the weekend. I upgraded my MXL2 to 1.14.42 and set up the new gear calc channel. I also upgraded the SCHD to 1.03.42.
I had been at this track two weeks prior, and no issues with the dash or camera. With the dash running 1.14.42, I was getting laps combined together or short (I'd see 40 or 50 second laps followed by 2 or 4 minute laps).
I tried re-downloading the start-finish point to the GPS and that didn't help. During one session, the SCHD acted like the channels coming from the MXL2 were dropping out periodically (they'd drop to 0 and then come back to a normal value, sometimes many times a second).
Also, the new gear calc channel using tire diameter and driveline info didn't appear to work at all.
After that, I downgraded the dash to the previous version I had on the laptop (maybe 1.12.50) and didn't run into any more problems that day or the next.
I'll be following up with AiM on Tuesday, but wanted to see if anyone has seen this.

To anyone- In the set-up for the dash to start recording in RS3 for an MXL2 I am a little fuzzy on how it functions, it was my first time out last weekend. If you set it up to start recording with a certain combination of rpms and speed, say 50 mph and 5000 rpms will it record until you shut it off or will it stop recording if you drop under those variables. I had a similar situation to Jeff this weekend but just wrote it off to the start recording variables I had set.
I was trying to eliminate recording the trips to the grid but in all reality with as much memory as it has it probably doesn't matter. I think I'm going to go with 10mph and 1000 rpm to get the hole race to record, because it was cut up into a bunch of segments with the 50mph and 5000 rpm setting.
