Neat little package. Video looks really clean.


How difficult is it to tap the ecu? I assume that is what required to utilize the overlay?

i like that it is also waterproof for underwater video. Looks like they have a module that plugs into the ecu - OBDII only?

easy but you need their ECU Bridge to tap the OBDII port. Other more expensive options exist that provide addtl levels of data.

Yes, to integrate data there are one of two routes available:

1. Buy the AiM ECU Bridge, which connects the camera to the car's OBDII port. $1199 for that package.
2. Buy a full house AiM data logger, buy the AiM GPS option. Starts at around $3K for that kind of package.
