I was hoping to get the Pid's from their documentation, but no success there. I will email the dealer I got the RC from, as they are also an official AiM dealer, maybe I get lucky.

Anyway, you should give the M235i protocol a try if you have an AiM and was using the F21 protocol.
Glad you figured it out. And definitely share if you find anything. My experience has been that AiM is pretty protective of the PIDs, which is frustrating, but understandable -- they've spent a lot of time reverse-engineering them. But never hurts to ask.

FWIW, the M235i protocol is for the M235iR, which runs a completely different ECU from our street cars.

If you want to poke around and see what's available with the F21 protocol, here's a random example. Off the top of my head: throttle pedal position, throttle opening, brake PSI (front and rear), steering angle, the 4 individual wheelspeeds, RPM, ambient temp, charged air temp, oil temp, gear #, gearbox temp, torque (engine and gearbox).
