I’m finally getting my new XC60 T8 (2026) in a week. What top speed can you safely set for it? I’ve heard something about 220 km/h because of the electric motor on the rear axle?

  Read voltage and other details from HV battery?
Posted by: kbauer - Yesterday, 07:29 AM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - Replies (1)

Hi,

is there a way to read the raw HV battery voltage, or even individual cell voltages and other details from the HV battery?

Orbit already displays a SoH and SoC percentage, so I assume it might be an adjacent feature.

These diagnostic features would incredibly valuable for independent analysis and repairs on the HV system, e.g. identifying damaged cells.
I'm also curious how Volvo treats the cells, i.e. where it sets the 0% and 100% SoC voltages, and how that differs for the SoC the dashboard shows, what's "actually" left at 0%, etc.

There's very little info about that, and it is hard to judge what it really means for the cell voltages when Orbit shows e.g. 83% SoC while the car shows 100%.

I found this picture, which suggests that at least the pack voltage is available via OBD using a generic OBD dongle:

There's also this Volvo Service Manual (?) that shows the individual cell voltages are available to VIDA

  Broken Side View Mirror Issues 2019 XC60 T8
Posted by: wirelessnate - 04-11-2026, 01:32 AM - Forum: Service Functions - Replies (1)

So someone smashed my passenger side mirror in a parking lot on my 2019 XC60 T8. Took 2 weeks to get a new one from FCP. I just plugged it in and still getting errors related to blind spot. The red light does come on when I start the car. Mirror works as intended. 360 view camera works like it should (Verified sitting in a drive thru) I have tried resetting the ECUs as well as clearing codes. I will recheck the codes here in a bit and amend this post with the error codes.  On the dash when I start the car I get 
City Safety
Driver Support System
Bling Spot Sensor
On Call (i know this is the battery 7 year timer bs)

Is there something I am missing? I am praying this isn't one of those situations where the part has to be coded to the car. I know its unlikely but preparing for the worst.

Does anyone know what needs to be added, apart from coding and purchasing glass, to make the heating work?

  Retrofit R Design steering wheel
Posted by: Sixtyfiive - 04-09-2026, 02:54 PM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (4)

Hi guys,

I have a V90 Modellyear 2018

I’m planning to retrofit an R-Design steering wheel and I have a question.

I ordered one that comes with an extra cable which fits into the connector I marked in the picture. My current steering wheel doesn’t have anything connected there.

Does anyone know what this connector is for?

Can I still use the new steering wheel with that cable, or will I get any error messages if I leave it unused or connect it?

Also, does anyone know the correct torque spec (Nm) for the steering wheel bolt?

Thanks ?
