Long Coding Question
Since getting my car on 11/23, I played with OBDeleven a bit, getting familiar with the app and what it can do. I enabled Staging (needle sweep) and "gear display" on 11/24, then VIM (Video in Motion) on 11/25. I then tried to have a look around Central Electric but am getting errors (Description data not found). I've not made any other changes while waiting to get this sorted out, but looking at my history I see this change on 11/26:

I don't recall doing this change, and didn't even know how to get into the "1|0" menu until after I saw this in history. Does anyone have any idea what this is? Should I change it back?

Well first thing that needs clarifying is that you said the errors are in Module 09 but you posted coding from Module 17.
It is important to know that coding and long coding are the same thing, coding makes it easier to interpret because a lot of the options have labels but every single option in coding corresponds to a bit switch in long coding. You are changing those hex values [each pair of letter/numbers tells the computer which of the 8 bits are on (8 bits per byte, starting at 0)] so when you are in coding and turn staging on all it does is change the bit in byte #1 which you have bolded and is overall changing the hex value to E7.
I hope that makes sense.

No, that makes perfect sense. I knew that, but was thrown off by the way the history was written in OBDeleven. Here's an excerpt:

So, I get that E6 to E7 is "staging" (I flipped it tonight just to watch it change), but I don't get why, when I set it via the "shortcut" on the 25th, that shows, then it shows again via "long coding" on the 26th. I took it to mean that I had made an accidental/unintentional change on the 26th. I didn't think it was just an additional representation of the other change.
Sorry for the confusion about the errors. I still do get the "Description data not found" error any time I try to enter Coding/Adaptations/Basic Setting from 09 - Central Electric. I have reached out to OBDeleven support but don't have any answers yet.

Hmm it wouldn't be crazy if the timestamp was just off in the data.
