Anyone with the same steering wheel/data acq. system running into the same issue? I guess I can power off the steering wheel and use the Racelogic at the track then turn off the RL and power on the wheel for the street....
Thoughts?

This seems odd to me. From what I understand, data loggers just "sniff" traffic on the canbus. The data isn't being sent directly to it.
If the t was the cases, everything that relies on the canbus in your car would fail to work the second you tapped a data logger into it.
I run an aim solo 2 dl on the track that I have tapped directly into the canbus from the FEM in the passenger footwell. Don't have a performance steering wheel, but again, I don't see why this would be a problem short of the network not being able to handle the additional bandwidth.
Honestly don't know enough about it to be sure. I guess I could plug another data logger (Bluetooth to Harry's laptimer for example) into my OBD port and see what happens.
