All-in-One and Extremely Easy to Use

Powered by an internal rechargeable battery, AiM Solo is designed to be used standalone, without any wires or sensors. When you arrive at a track, all you need to do is turning it on, and AiM Solo will recognize the race track automatically and start recording lap times and logging racing data.

High-Accuracy 10Hz GPS
with Predictive Lap Timing

Forget about infrared lap beacons and external antennas. AiM Solo's internal GPS antenna is capable of 1/100 of a second precision. Moreover, GPS predictive lap timing calculates and displays the difference between your current lap and your previous best lap in real time - a perfect tool for time trial and time attack drivers!

Designed for the Harshest Racing Conditions

AiM Solo is extremely durable: heat resistant up to 170 deg. F., totally protected against dust, and water proof to 3.28 feet of water. So whether you race a sports car or an open wheel formula car, AiM Solo will work rain or shine.

A Powerful Data Logger

Seat-of-the-pants can't get you any faster?

AiM Solo is a data logger which records racing data such as speed, G's, lap times, and track position in real-time. Data can then be exported into Race Studio 2 for post-race analysis.

Don't worry if you've never played with data before. Below is a document to get you started.

AiM Solo DL Models: OBDII vs. CAN

The OBDII model plugs directly into your car's OBDII service port for basic data (up to 9 channels for most cars). Some cars such as the Nissan GT-R and late model Porsche support CAN over OBD, allowing for more channels to be available. Please check OBDII compatibility list for details.

The CAN model is capable receiving up to several dozen channels of data directly from the ECU. These channels include wheel speeds, brake pressures, RPM, gas pedal position, steering wheel angle, oil & water temperature, ambient temperature plus more.

M-World offers exclusive Plug and Play Kits based on the CAN version that connect directly to Porsche and BMW ECUs, with absolutely no cutting or splicing. Each kit includes a suction cup mount and step-by-step installation instructions.

Reviews from M-World's Customers

AiM Solo

AiM Solo DL

"My favorite feature is +/- best, where I can see, in real-time, how I'm doing against my best lap. This gives me instantaneous feedback on where I've made good adjustments vs not-so-good adjustments, where I'm making mistakes, where I'm choosing the right line, etc..." Read full review

"It seems a lot of people say this is good for when you've already gotten very fast and are looking for just a little bit more. However, I think it is equally great for the less experienced drivers like me..." Read full review

"got my first chance to use the SOLO today out at pacific raceways. i downloaded the track before heading down and it worked perfectly..." Read full review

"Special thanks to Richard at M-World for the AiM setup and for answering a bunch of my questions. The harness he provides makes it trivially simple to gain ECU/CAN connectivity!" Read full review (E92 M3)

"Am very happy with the results now that I can get throttle, brake, steering angle, gear, clutch, wheel speeds, temps, and tons of other data that I can analyze over and above what you would get if you simply plugged the unit into the OBD connector." Read full review (E46 M3)

"A big thanks to the folks at http://M-World.us making the impossible happen and getting my AIM Solo DL to me before last Sunday's autocross!" Read full review (E82 135i)
