Update table on 10/15 to add 991 using OBD II Connector

This post is to gather information on which Protocols work with AIM SOLO DL units. Please post your results/attempts to get the DL working either with OBD or with hard wired CAN. I'd prefer general discussion be done on the other extensive post going, this way it will be easier for people to get to the answer of what works. I'll compile a list and re-post it as the information grows. The list doesn't need to be Porsche only, the more information the better.

Here is what I found:

2011 GT 3 RS - OBD II CAN works with OBD connection
2003 Boxster ISO9141-2 works with OBD connection
1999 996 Carrera ISO9141-2 works with OBD connection
2004 GT 3 ISO9141-2 works with OBD connection
2004 GT 3 with CAN Porsche_911(996) works
2005 997.1 ISO9141-2 works with OBD connection

Please post only if you are sure it works or doesn't work. Thanks for all the interest. Peter and I will work with AIM to get a solution for the cars that don't have one today.

Revision: I'll try to summarize the posts so we have one place to keep data. Post your findings below and I'll try to keep the table up to date. I took some liberties on a few posts below to be specific, let me know if anything is not correct.

2008 GT2 works with CANBUS GT3 Bosch connection.

2006 997

ISO9141-2 via OBDII connector works, partially.

What's available:
RPM
ECT
MAF
IAT
SPD & Speed

What's not available:
TPS (incorrect data, range is 12 to 80 instead of 0-100)
PPS (no data)

No other protocols work even in part via OBDII.

Mine is '06 997 C2, bosch ecu, connected by CAN using 997gt3 default profile, all channels work.

Awesome, Jerry! Thanks for the new thread!

1999 986 OBD-II, ISO 9141/2, RPM,TPS
1999-2005 Miata, OBD-II, ISO 9141/2, RPM, TPS, ECT
2008 F430 Challenge CAN, Ferrari, Bosch ECU

1) 2011 Boxster Spyder - both obd2 and CAN work, but obd2 channels are limited
2) 2008 Mitusbishi Evo X - CAN line works, but obd2 will NOT work at all
3) Nissan GTR - all data channels available through obd2 cable. No CAN splicing needed.

Update 2/24:

I have found a protocol that works with the 2011 GT 3 RS. It is posted in the table at the top of the thread. The PPS range is 14 to 80% but this can be worked around using a math channel in Race studio.

Updated the table at the top to add 2010 GT 3. Thanks to Orthojoe for clarifying that the 997 GT3's use the Bosch ECU where the 997.2 cars use the Siemens ECU.

JJE997.2RS

Feel free to delete this if I am cluttering, but if I am reading your chart correctly, for a 997.2 RS, we should order the OBD2 connector not the CANbus? Or is it just that the canbus hasn't been tried yet?

Sorry!

The line through a box means I don't have confirmation that it works. If we find that something does not work, we'll post it as such. I believe the CAN will work fine. Here is a photo of the 2011 RS I tried the OBD on. Nice color......

Can u get data fron a 94 3.6 turbo?

amso3

I would say no to CAN data on a 94. I don't think it even has OBD II, not sure. This would mean that the SOLO DL would not work. As far as data goes, installing a Pista dash with sensors, you could capture data, just can't get it from the ECU

utkinpol

For pre-odb cars aim has am adapter that can supply rpm data and that adapter was working with smartycam, so probably it should work with solo, may be.

2011 GT3 RS 4.0 somewhat works with the same configuration listed as the GT3 RS in the list. Tried it out today while on track. The data I could recieve from the car with this configuration was limited to ECT, IAT, and TPS. It wouldn't read anything else coming from the computer. I am going to try some other configs later to find out what info I can get from this connection with the 4.0.

orthojoe

Is this with a CAN connection, or OBD2?
