@aol Hello, I'm having a strange issue where once I start recording a session and OBD connects, not all of my normal available PIDs/channels work and/or show up.
For example, I'll go into settings, then go into car specific settings. I'll connect to OBD dongle and select Fast channels: RPM, speed and slow channels: Fuel pressure, coolant temp, intake temp.... just for discussion sake. Everything works great and all of my normal PIDs show up in the selection list just fine (usually a lot to choose from, car is a 2017 Audi S3)
I start a session/log and there will less than 10 available PIDs now and some of the previously selected ones don't show up.
What's really strange is that if I do the exact same procedure of starting a new log, I will have a different result each time as to what PIDs are available.
I first noticed this on v6.1.3. So I updated to 6.1.4 which was just pushed today I think and same result. I checked to see if my OBDlink MX had a new firmware update and it did... updated it, but still same exact result so it seems to point to something with the app now.
I had a random thought that maybe some of the new custom PIDs that I had defined with custom headers were somehow a factor in this....so I removed all of those, but same result.
Took some screenshots in case what I said wasn't clear.

It certainly sounds like a bug, so I did some emergency testing. It works fine on my vehicles, so my guess is the bug is related how you created the Vehicle profile and/or your vehicle.
Please follow these steps:
1) Go to your vehicle profile, press "Share" button on top, and share it to me by e-mail.
2) Enable "Settings > Expert settings > Save device data". This allows me to see what happened.
3) Turn on your car
4) Record a session with some OBD-II channels logged. Make sure you can see only the channels in the screenshots, even if you try to scroll the list. The session does not need to be long, 5 minutes is ok.
5) Open that session, and press "Share" button on top, and share it to me by e-mail.
bonus step) Create a new vehicle profile. Just add some information like brand and model, but do not touch the OBD-II parameters. Then turn on this new profile in the settings. Does it work now? This will "clean table" and use all default settings for OBD-II.
PS. If you do not have my "real" e-mail address, just use tracks(at)racechrono.com address.

I will then analyse and see if it's really a bug. It probably is
my original issue was that when hitting the edit button and trying to add in a data channel the proper data channels were not showing up, only 5 of them even though I activated 10 in the vehicle profile. They only showed up after going into the “green” menu and activating them there. Seems as if the selections in vehicle profile do not matter. Hope this is clear.
