When I installed the heated steering wheel, I noticed this connector under my seat, and it's loose. Does anyone have any idea what it's for? 
For reference, my seats are heated. (XC40 2018)

Hi everyone,

I am once again trying to tackle my heated steering wheel project I started last year. I am trying to find the part number for the connector that goes into the back of the Steering Wheel Module. It's the black connector with two gauges of wire. What would be even better would be having a junkyard wiring harness with the connector attached. I called up ErieVoVo and they told me they can't provide one. I don't have access to VIDA, so I can't get the part number myself.

Is there no longer an option to factory reset the infotainment?

Hi
I have v90 2017 and want to replace rear tailligts to new version controlled by lin-bus and i have trouble to figure out the data pattern

Here is a bit log from a v90 year 25
   

I have figure out databits B0-B1 and B4-B7 but B2 and B3 i dont figure out yet..

B2 and B3 maybe adress together with CRC-8-algoritm (there is 4 taillights id to adress)

I have a testrigg to send to my new taillights on bench and with recorded data i can send and taillights works, but if i change a bit for example only lit the dimligts i get error...

Does anyone have some more information about this?

Some of you may have read reports of how cars are some of the worst privacy infringing devices out there, with their always on connectivity and continuous data collection.

It seems there's an opportunity here on older cars that are still configurable with something like Orbit to purposely DISABLE the SIM/cell connectivity, and force it to fallback to wifi only.

Has anyone attempted this?  I've seen threads where people complain about not being able to get back on cell connectivity, but nobody seems crazy enough to force disconnection.

My intention is to force it disconnected (and figure out how its done so its reversible), then set up a custom open-source 5G router to provide my own internet connection with firewall/filtering etc.

Thoughts/comments/ideas?

Hi everyone,

I’m struggling with a persistent audio issue on my 2019 Volvo V60 (SPA platform, High Performance Sound system) and could really use some expert guidance.

Here is the background story:
I bought the car with the right-side audio already not working. The physical amplifier installed in the car was a unit dated 2021 (meaning a previous owner had already tried replacing it). Thinking that unit was faulty, I bought another used amplifier (dated late 2018) and swapped it.

When I installed the 2018 unit, the behavior changed slightly: the entire rear section started playing, but the front remained silent, and briefly the right lower door speaker even played. However, while messing with OrBit, I noticed the car configuration was somehow set to "Base Performance" instead of High Performance. When I changed the car config to "Base" and then back, the system completely scrambled – exactly like the 2021 unit – and now only the left side and right tweeter play.

I pulled the ECU info for the module currently installed, and this is what it shows:

Hardware Part: 31652394 (Assembly: 32265284)

SWLM: 32265285 AA

SWP1_Local Configuration Parameters: 32200492 AA

Primary Bootloader: 32200490 AA

It looks like these replacement amplifiers carry software from a Volvo XC40 (CMA platform), which completely misaligns the pinout and channel mapping for my V60 (SPA platform).

My questions / assumptions:

I plan to fix the car configuration back to High Performance in OrBit first.

I assume I need to flash the correct V60 software onto the AUD module to fix the channel/pin mapping.

I suspect I might need the SBL (32200490_AA.vbf) and a matching Main Software VBF for V60 (such as 31652395), but to be honest, I'm not 100% sure if these are the exact files required for my setup.

Could anyone advise if my diagnostic path is correct, and point me toward or provide the right VBF files to get all channels working properly on my V60?

Thank you all so much for your help!

Hello everyone. I am strugling to find any wiring diagrams about the lights. Connector on the car side has 4 smaller wires (canbus?) and 5 thicker wires. One is switched +12v and 2 grounds. Others are unknown. New lights only have three thicker pins and 2 small pins. Car is euromodel. Anyone done similar retrofit? Did not find thread about it. If there is I am sorry and will delete this one.

Hi everyone,

I have a 2017 Volvo XC90 with air suspension and I need to replace the air suspension compressor.

Before replacing the compressor, I would like to completely deflate the air suspension system, including both air reservoirs and all four air struts.

After installing the new compressor, I need to refill the system with an external nitrogen supply and would like to do the following:

Completely deflate both reservoirs and all four air struts.
Connect the external nitrogen supply.
Fill the air struts individually.
Fill the reservoirs afterwards.
Perform the air suspension calibration.

Volvo VIDA has a diagnostic procedure for deflating and filling the air springs and reservoir, but I would like to know whether the complete procedure can also be performed with OrBit.

I saw that newer OrBit versions mention an “Air Suspension Fill/Deflate” function, but I cannot find it or figure out how to access it.

Can anyone tell me where this function is located and whether OrBit allows me to individually control/deflate/fill all four air struts and both reservoirs?
If possible, I would really appreciate a short step-by-step explanation.

Thanks a lot!

Hello, does back lights needs to be replaced when you convert from USA to EU, or you can only configure with OrBit? Are they different for USA and EU market or no? I ask mostly because of fog light and turn lights. The car is XC90 year 2018.
Thank you.
