Great, thanks for the fast reply. I'm hoping to use it on my Aprilia RSV-4 motorcycle. The bike supposedly uses OBD-II but via a 3-pin connector. I have this adapter http://www.amazon.com/Elandpower-OBD2-Connector-Diagnostic-Adapter/dp/B0053NRLHE and am able to connect to a diagnostic software on my laptop using a USB OBD2 cable plus the adapter.
I posted the question on the Aprilia forum and got this response: "If the GPS laptimer works with K-line KWP2000 with fast init as protocol you should be fine."
Cmutza, the ELM327 protocol that racechrono communicates to the reader is quite standard. The protocol used between ecu and reader is autodetected by the reader, and KWP2000 is one of the most common protocols. Check obdlink specs if this is supported to make sure.
Indeed the website for the OBDLink says it supports ELM327 and KWP2000. I ordered the OBDLink LX, so I'll report back once it arrives and I get a chance to try it out.
I’ve got a reader with the larger form factor (China black/blue) style labelled simply ELM 327 Interface. A very cheap reader got it from e-bay for about $15. It works surprisingly well. I’ve tested it with both Torque and RaceChrono and it works fine.
Fore some reason I seem to get faster updates speeds using the app Performance. Anybody else experiencing the same thing??
Maybe the other app reports overall update rate? RaceChrono reports the per channel update rate. If you enable only one channel in RaceChrono, the one channel update rate is also the overall update rate.
Thank you very much for answer. Please, if you plan to include SSM2 in the list of available protocols? In the program Torque, it already appeared. It would be very useful to the owners of Subaru. http://s019.radikal.ru/i635/1511/8c/898a0e34bb31.png
I just tested both the LX and MX and I am disappointed as the MX does not seem to show more info? Maybe I am doing this wrong? When I run rc and select high channels the list appears ot be the same for both thr MX and LX??? Shouldn't the MX have more...especially these hidden GM streams SW-CAN? I have steering angle on AIM SOLO DL so I know it on the OBD and I am trying to get it on RC. Also my throttle goes only to 84% when pedal to the floor??? Any insight?
What generates the list of high/low obd channels in RC? Is it the RC software when paired?
Difference between LX and MX is the number of different vehicles the support, not the amount of data channels they can access. RaceChrono has implemented most of the standard PIDs in OBD-II standard, and checks which of them are supported by the vehicle.
The throttle position issue you can fix for videos by checking the "Show scaled value" on the overlay editor under the Throttle Position gauge.
I thought based on the marketing that the MX will access the GM SW-CAN info the others could not? Any way of adding in channels that are there? AIM Solo DL finds a few on the obd that others do not...so I am guessing they wrote some custom pids??? They see steering angle, brake flag, all 4 wheel speeds, which are very helpful. Is there a way I can add any more info that is available on the obd maybe through 3rd party software? Thanks.
tentenths: You're probably right about the LX/MX difference in CAN access. I was looking at it from OBD-II point of view. These extra data channels (PIDs) are probably available through the CAN-BUS, and they are manufacturer/model specific, as far as I know. So they would have to be implemented separately for each type of vehicle. RaceChrono only supports the OBD-II standard, which is same for all vehicles.

Please indicate whether the adapter is working:
