Early in the second session I was chasing Tuffy, and coming down the front straight the info display put up a see workshop message. I clicked the info level for the next screen and it was a message about the cornering lights not functional. Meh, who cares, I thought. But braking into turn one, the right rear tire locked up, it was like there was no ABS. Came in and plugged in my durameteric cable and the car was full of faults. After three passes of the clear faults in all modules function, the car had no faults. I left the SoloDL disconnected, and went out for the last session. This time SC+TC came on, and the car felt normal and no workshop messages. So I need to call AIM to see what they say, but obviously the SoloDL was messing with the network in the car. Durameteric cable paid for itself!

Todd, Nice seeing you at VIR. If you learn anything from AIM please share. I had my AIM Solo tapped into the CAN bus and I was always leery if that was causing my braking issues. I removed the tap a while ago but still had the braking issues afterwards (last year). I'll probably be putting it back before the next event. Have you upgraded to the latest firmware? I see that an update came out in Feb 2013.
My AIM Solo didn't work well at VIR. First time it had problems recording laps. It only captured about 30% of them. Never had that problem at other tracks. Seemed like it was connected to enough satellites. I may try your mount point next time and see if that alleviates the issue.
