it could work with a P8 or L8 equipped with a chip that outputs the pectel protocol datastream if:

a) AIM programmed it to accept the pectel protocol

b) the datastream in the ECU was changed to be compatible with the AIM

c) you put a converter in between - you can get converters that would take the serial datastream from the ECU and convert it either to a serial datastream compatible with the AIM, or convert it to a CANBus signal

the problem is, very few people know what the protocol is for the output of the L8/P8 datastream and those that do have not shown any interest in doing this
