First ADL3 install

[Apex Speed Tech]

We just finished our first ADL3 installation in a Porsche 997 GT3 with an M800 ECU and an SLM. The installation went really well, and everything works great! Very happy with the ADL3 Dash Manager software; the input management is comprehensive and everything works well. All in all, the software is mostly similar and works well.

The only issues we have are for some reason we occasionally have to disable/re-enable the ethernet port for communications to work, and when you change the "tic" marks on the RPM bargraph, they disappear until you power-cycle the dash. Finally, at some screen resolutions the OK/CANCEL/PREVIEW buttons for the SLM setup disappear as well.

All in all, that's pretty good for a brand-new product and beta software! Ethernet comms was straightforward and worked perfectly. Giving the laptop a static IP makes connection times quicker, but that's about it. We're very happy and are looking forward to using more of these!

Where can one find pricing information for a ADL3 as I don't see it listed in the online catalog. Also, what are the advantages of the ADL3 over the ADL2 besides more memory and ethernet comms?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

In the US, the ADL3 retails for $8316. Besides the memory and ethernet, it features:

A much faster (150mHz, I believe) processor.
Real on-board math functions.
2 separate can buses. I can confirm these both work - we used one for an SLM and 1 for the M800.
Internal 3 axis accelerometer - though I couldn't see how to access it....
8 hi-res 0-15V inputs
Support for 4 VIMs
More advanced CAN Bus error monitoring.

The memory is CHEAP! $658 for 250MB!

I'm sure there's more but this is what I remember off the top of my head....
