So I'm looking into getting a new laptimer/datalogger. I'm researching a unit made by AIM called the Solo DL.
Apparently the Solo DL can log through the obd2 port, or you can splice into the CAN line. Apparently if you splice into the CAN line directly, you will get a faster output rate, and more channels to log than through the obd2 port alone.
Is this true? I thought all you tuners/loggers go through the obd2 port and still have access to the CAN output lines?
Here is a link to the .pdf that explains how to tap into the CAN lines in our car, and what kind of channels are available with logging. (steering angle output would make for some cool video).

They describe two methods to tap into the CAN lines. The first is directly off the ECU, the other is off the 'differential control unit'? Any idea where the differential control unit is? Is it under the dash?
Does all of this make sense to anyone?
