Is there a way to enable specific sensors for specific activities?

I ride my bike to Parkrun on a Saturday morning, however when cycling I wear my running shoes which have a Stryd footpod attached. When I start the "bike" activity my F5X connects to the footpod but this affects the connection with the Garmin cadence sensor on the bike giving minimal cadence readings (funnily enough my Edge 25 doesn't have the same issue). Is there any way to disable the footpod during the bike activity but still have it enabled when I run?

No, you can't. Could you post a link to the activity and the FIT file here so we can have a look. Presume you can do that on this new forum software!?!?!?

Hi TrippyZ

Thanks for your input.

I have pasted a link to the activity here Cycling but can't find a way to insert the fit file on the new software.

Garmin Connect seems to think you have a cycle power meter connected! Could have done with a look in the FIT. Perhaps best to log a call with support.

Oh, you can disconnect the sensor from the Sensor & Accessories manually each time of course....

Either zip the file and then attach it or if you have file extensions show then change the .fit to .zip. Just remember to put in your post that you have changed the file extension. Then use 'Insert' at the bottom of the reply box, select 'Insert image/video/file', in the new box change 'From' to show 'File Upload', browse to the file and wait till it uploads, click on 'OK' and you should be good to go.

cheers
Mike
