Finally got a chance to wire my SOLO correctly for the F-series CAN protocol*. From some quick testing in my garage, there's two channels for front and rear brake pressure in psi. The data seemed reasonable (~200 psi when fully pressed). There's a channel for steering angle too.


* wasn't that hard -- most of the time was undoing connections that a local "performance" shop had done very incorrectly. Just needs a connection to the PT-CAN bus, which is directly attached to the ECU. It goes out to a few places in the cabin [1] -- easiest are the FEM (front-electronics module, passenger footwell), and the KOMBI (instrument cluster). I used the KOMBI because my SOLO is mounted right next to it in one of the AC ducts. The connector is A71*1B [2]. The CAN+ and CAN- pins are 6 and 12 on the far left end [3]. I also grabbed power from pin 2 of the same connector, which is the KL30 wire. KL15 would've been a bit better (shuts down when you lock the car, KL30 waits 30 min IIUC), but I didn't see it on the KOMBI and was too lazy to run a wire across the whole cabin.
