I think there are other parts required including the camera and the harnesses connecting it to the recorder. Probably several other things that are necessary including reprogramming the center display so the PDR can be set up and turned on.

I remember reading somewhere that Tadge said a car could not be retrofitted with PDR for the reasons that Bill mentioned above. I’m sorry I’m hazy on the details, but I definitely remember the answer to OP’s question is ‘no’

PDR at first sounds good but boils down to unless you track the car enough to use it. Then use you phone for the nav. Remember to turn it on and use it?
PDR is near worthless so I would not lose any sleep.

Name one that captures the same data and writes the telemetry, video and audio to a single storage location, while not having cords and suction cups everywhere.
The GM PDR has access to data parameters that are simply not available via generic OBD2 protocol. I don't know of anything that captures the GM proprietary data.

I love my PDR. I use it as a dash cam. It has some limitations, but it's awesome to have that data that a dash cam just isn't going to provide. I bought a 256 GB SD card and just run it till it's full then wipe it and start again. Takes me like 6 months to fill it up. Not to mention the PDR doens't take up any windshield real estate. If you run a radar detector, you don't need MORE hardware obscuring your view.

Even though I have PDR in my car I'd love to see the write-up on how you did it. As you said, there is no aftermarket system with the amount of data available as the Cosworth PDR system. I'd like to figure out how to mod mine to feed in some more data like voltage to the shocks.
I'm curious whether yours has the extra data channels that were released in 2018.
