Considering a couple AIM data acquisition options for track day use... Not a necessity for a relative track noobie like me, just having fun and embracing the inner geek.

Anyone have experience connecting an AIM data logger to their Z4M ECU via the RS232/CAN version of AIM's ECU Bridge? I'm wondering (1) how involved/scary the splicing is, and given our unique ECUs, (2) if the ECU pinout info in the AIM documentation is 100% accurate, and (3) if the bridge worked OK to feed reliable rpm, throttle position, engaged gear, oil pressure and water/gearbox/diff temps.

Separately, anyone using DashWare or other third party software to successfully overlay AIM data on GoPro HD video files; I'm looking for an inexpensive alternative to AIM's pricey proprietary video solutions, and something that I won't have to go back to college to use.

Thanks for any guidance.
