They only have one config* for all F-chasis cars, so presumably the protocol is similar for all the F-chasis ECUs. That one has channels for steering angle and F/R brake pressure. Of course, whether our specific cars broadcast anything on these channels is the unknown bit.
(* technically, and for maximum confusion, there's also one called M235, but that's for the M235iR, which has a completely different ECU from the Bosch units in ours)

Eh, fair. Though that's the exact same software for AiM's MX-series dashes, which cost 4x and are presumably geared more toward pros. Maybe I'm a bit too harsh on it because software is my day job, and seeing something so anachronistic just sticks like a sore thumb.

Yes, you can definitely dive reasonably deep, even with few channels of data, it just sometimes takes a few extra SW quirks to get there. If you want to get a head start before buying the dash, I don't mind sharing a few sessions' data files.
