I have nothing but good experiences with my AIM Solo2, but it's not a DL and it sounds like all the problems are with the features of the DL.
I was in the market for a lap timer and waited on the release of the 2 since used 1's weren't much cheaper than new. |

Same here. I have the non DL version. It has been great for me.

The non-DL works as advertised. The problem is the DL's do not have the capability promised, and it's been 6 months since the original promised launch date already. Mainly, these are just software and firmware issues, that quite frankly, should not be that difficult to integrate. |

Seems AiM has just released the CANBUS integration for our cars last week. So users may want to try updating that.

Stupid question then, but can the DL pull obd2 data as well, or only from the CAN system? Is the obd2 data more reliable?

I have the original Solo DL and the OBD2 data is reliable. I'd expect the Solo 2 DL to be just as reliable. It seems to be the new features that they advertised months ago that are taking for ever. But, I'm guess Solo 2 DL market is fairly small (I see tons of regular Solos at the track but so far I'm the only one with a DL).

I was able to program the lights to act as shift lights. I haven't tried setting them up for predictive timing yet.
Edit: I'm using the OBD2 connection, and it did seem like there was a lag in the lights. My 4th light was supposed to go red at 7200 but i would hit limiter before it would light up. Not sure if there's something wrong or it was just laggy. It also seemed to be reading temps a little lower than I expected. It claimed my IAT was 9C/48F when ambient was 13C/55F. Edit2: It also seemed to disregard my unit preferences. I told it to use F, but everything was displayed in C. I guess I'm having more issues than I thought, but they're fairly minor. |

I'd rather have each light indicate a different threshold for me. As of now, the Solo 2 DL offers zero value to me over a Solo DL. In fact, it's actually of less value, since it can't do everything a Solo 1 does at this time. |

Very curious. If I could, Id go with the CAN (but do not know how?).
My OBD port is shoddy it sets on and off (reset) and I can never get proper data. Tried two different cables and a different DL (same issue). I have to plug the ECU connecter, pull it ever so slightly towards me so its snug, then duct tape the wire on the side to keep it that way. I even tried zip tying the sucker tight and it still screws up from time to time Lutfy
