I had my tech tapped into the CAN bus as well to mount the AIM Solo DL. In my e46 M3, I also had the AIM Smartycam connected to the Solo DL to get power and data, worked fine.

However, with the F87 the Solo DL by itself was working fine. Once I connected the Smartycam to it; my dashboard lighted up like a Xmas tree. All sorts of codes showed. I had to disconnect the Aim units altogether and had the shop cleared it with Autologic. Our theory is that the F87 has a tight window on voltage drop, once the Smartycam was connected it drawn excess power from the CAN bus causing the modules in the DME to show code.

I am going to check out Racelogic Vbox. Does anyone want a deal from some Solo DL/Smartycam combo?
