Question OFT v2 issues, help greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone.
I just a brand new OFT v2 and when trying to read my ECU on the tablet, i select Subaru then hit the down arrow, the next screen says 'car' at the top, but where i would expect it to say Subaru underneath it says Volkswagen, from that point I am unable to do anything on the tablet aside from return to the homescreen. Is my ECU locked by another tuner? or what else could this be?

In troubleshooting thus far, I have ensure my OBD II port and cable are securely fastened and undamaged, updated the OFT v2 with the newest firmware/software. Thus far no luck.

Any help would be most appreciated, Thank you!

So im not sure i understand.. if you select subaru > "on the tablet, i select Subaru then hit the down arrow" why then on the next screen would you expect to see subaru again? I believe the right arrow is how you make/enter a selection.. I just got the v2 in January for a 2019 86 and i didnt video it or document it. could you maybe upload some pictures of what youre seeing?

First selecting tuning, then selecting Subaru and then finally the screen I am stuck on. The only usable button at this point is back. Which returns me to the homescreen
