I think you should change the thread title to "Garmin", because I am nearly 100% sure this is a Garmin issue not a Quarq issue.
But it's not a garmin issue either. It's a user/settings issue.
Fair enough. What is the solution to my problem as described earlier in the thread, I don't think user error is the culprit, but I'm all ears for a solution,
You should never search for a new device on your head unit unless you are adding a device for the first time. Once you pair your pm to your Garmin the very first time, you never have to do it again. Go to your sensors page on the 510, you should see your pm listed along with any other devices (hr, speed/cadence). Once you wake up the quarq(spin the cranks), it will automatically connect to the 510 without you having to pair it again. Also, in the sensors page, go to your pm and turn on calibration prompt. So when you wake up the quarq, you'll get a notification if you want to do a calibration (zero offset).
Edit: what's actually happening during your race mornings is that you are trying to add a new device with a bunch of other pm's directly next to you and you are adding someone else's pm. You do not need to do this at a race or on any ride for that matter. You only do it on the first time you pair a new device to that head unit. Then never again.
I understand what you are saying. However in my situation, the quarq connects fine before the race to both 920 and 510. 30 to 40 min later when I get out of the water and begin the bike leg, the 920 picks up the quarq when the power meter "wakes up", but the 510 NEVER picks the power meter up again...does that make sense. If you are stumped, don't worry, no one else can figure it out either. :)
edit: to be clear, I am NOT trying to pair my quarq to my 510 each and every time I race...the two automatically connect when the Garmin is power on and the quarq wakes up. The problem is, in T1, when I start pedaling, the 510 isn't finding the pwoermeter anymore, even though it did 30 minutes prior. the 920 however, will pick up the quarq without difficulty. Seems to me that the problem is the 510. wondering if anyone has further thoughts.
