OrBit 1.3.4 is released! This update introduces a couple new features as well as some refinements of the back end, updates to the user interface, and normal bug fixes. We are failing at more frequent releases, so here we are in July...

(Latest version of OrBit can always be downloaded here:https://app.spaycetech.com/orbitupdate/download) The "update notification" in OrBit will be sent later, but you can download the updated install right away from the link.


New features:

Car information display - Model and other basic car information of the connected car is shown in the main tab now renamed Dashboard (formerly "Shortcuts"). 

Add Activate in-tank Fuel Pump - The electric fuel pump can be activated to support service, to transfer fuel inside the "saddle" type fuel tank.

New Service Procedures -  **New procedures are published outside of OrBit software updates, however I call them out here as some require new version of OrBit to support them and they are not otherwise announced:

Infotainment - Active Noise Control Disable (for Android IHU)
Suspension - Position Sensor Calibration (Four-C / No Air Susp)
Engine - Reset EGR Adaptation, IEM Gen1&2 - Calibration
ADBLUE - Reset adaptations - (for all 4 equipment replacements)
Transaxle - Gear Position Sensor Calibration
ECM - Reset Adaptations - Fuel Injector X (all 4 injectors for diesl models that support)
AWD(DEM) - Oil Pressure Pump Venting
Security - Wake up Phone as Key Module (PAKM) from Transport Mode
Safety - SRS Calibrate Inertial Sensors (for Bosch SRS modules) 


Updated Features:

Battery and oil level display correct for all models - Displays for HV battery State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH) were previously incorrect for some years/models as well as oil level not displayed for cars with Bosch ECM. This should now be correct for all support models.

Disconnected car handling and keep alive- OrBit now disconnects when the connected car is missing. OrBit also monitors the connection present to a car when disconnected to prevent the car from sleeping so it is available to connect without needing to wake it by re-plug the VOE adapter. 

Software package download improvments- OrBit now provides error message feedback when unable to download software files needed for a package, if download fails, Internet is unreachable etc. Custom files are now supported for car specific installs, all files can be downloaded. Included is improved logging for better support help.

PIN Decoding progress- Add progress bar when running PIN decoding on Wireshark captures, so progress can be seen when parsing and cracking PINs on large Wireshark capture files.

CEM Flashing recovery- Easier recovery from failed CEM flash when the CEM is not responding, when attempting flash again OrBit recognizes the CEM is not responding and passes checks to proceed to flashing software to recover the CEM back to normal operation.


Improvements and Fixes:

FLC2 Safety Camera Calibration- Fixed multiple bugs preventing calibration of the front facing camera, corrected allowed distance measurement range etc.

Update diagnostics support for 2026.5/2027 models - Handle the update CEM security. Note we can still not support config on these secured new models.

Connection quality warning - Adjusted limits to warn less frequently about connection quality when the risk of a problem is low.

Mounted ECUs/faster profile updates- OrBit now keeps track of the ECUs (modules) that should be mounted in the car, to process profile updates faster and deal with missing modules better. 

Service Procedures- Results handling is improved to reduce the instance of false positives, i.e. procedure successful but OrBit still displays an error return.

Various bug fixes and reliability improvments- The catch all, just like Volvo release notes!

Good morning/afternoon, everyone!

I am looking into changing my current interior on my MY2024 XC40 Recharge.
I found a great deal and before buying them I'd like to know what would be the technical limitations.

My XC40 is an iCup, car made in 2024, and the interior would come also from a 2023 XC40, MY2024 also but it's a hybrid with Sensus.
My current interior is the base interior: only lumbar adjustment with the small knob, otherwise fully manual seats without heating, ventilation or other fancy gimmicks.
The interior I'm looking at has it all: heating, memory function, perhaps ventilated, electrically rear foldable headrests, etc.

The cabling part doesn't scare me if it is needed. Same for coding.

I am mainly wondering the following:

• Are there any technical limitations that wouldn't allow for the seat to work? Physically all fits of course, but I'm wondering about the electronics part, if there is anything that wouldn't function properly
  
• What about coding the seat computers? Will it just be plugged in and work or will I face some difficulties, other than the obvious part that the CEM needs to be coded for the extra options?
  
• What about "sensus" seats going into an "iCup" car? Any limitations?
  

Hi all, I am trying to find the part number for the correct repair wire to wire in the front fogs to the CEM. I've looked everywhere. Does anyone know it?!

Thanks in advance!!!

Hello,

Has anyone had success enabling **036. ADJUSTABLE SPEED LIMITER** on a 2024+ C40 / EC40 / XC40?

Most of the threads I can find are SPA/Sensus-era. I'd like to know whether this still works on the current CMA cars with the Android HMI, and if so:

- Did you set `ASL` or `ASL & AVSL`?
- Did you need to touch **149. ROAD SIGN INFORMATION** as well?
- Where does the function show up in the UI on the new HMI?

My car is a 2024 EC40 (V317). Thanks!!

Hi everyone,
​I’m trying to add front footwell lights to my base model V60 2020 T4 Momentum, which didn't come with them from the factory. My ultimate goal is to add them to the rear too, but I haven't wired those yet. I wanted to get the fronts working first, and with time, I'll tackle the rear.
​Here is what I’ve done so far:
​Found the wiring: The wires and connectors were already there, tucked under the dash, so I assume they run directly to the CEM.
​Bought the lights: Purchased the lights and tested them independently — they 100% work.
​Plugged them in & coded: Connected them to the factory wiring and used OrBit to change the interior lighting settings. I tried changing the parameters from "Lo" to "Mid" and then to "High."
​Checked Infotainment: Dug through the center screen settings to see if a toggle appeared, but couldn't get them to light up.
​None of these settings have made the lights turn on. Has anyone successfully retrofitted these on a base trim? Is there another parameter in OrBit I am missing, or does the base CEM lack the pins to actually power them? Any help is appreciated!

Has anyone managed to run the application in a car imported from the USA? Is it possible to change the car's region at all?

Hi, I am a bit confused tone honest.
I own a XC40 D4 Rdesign from 2019 and has some issues with the Add Blue injector.
I bought with the car the Ancell VOD700 for diagnostics, and that does what its made for.
Having Orbit and bought a laptop specifically for Orbit, It shows less diagnostics results.
I have installed new Windows 11 with all updates, installed it twice, and same with Orbit, just to be sure I dudntmis anything, the result is the same.
Am I making a mistake somewhere?
Anyone?

Hello, I have a problem changing the radio frequency on Polestar 2 channel 360. The step changed to 0.1 Mhz and new stations appeared, but it doesn't play them, it plays the last one I listened to before the change and no matter which one I choose, it stays on the same frequency.

Hi all,

Has anyone swapped out the high voltage battery in a Polelstar 2 or XC40/C40?
The Polestar 82kWh battery has been removed and replaced with a 78kWh HV battery from an XC40 though the car is not talking to the battery - which is a problem.

Is there a way to recode or reset wither wndf so they can talk?  They are both 2023 models and the XC40 is still available.

I am happy to do some debugging or code collections.

All leads appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I am retrofitting front parking sensors on my Volvo V60 2021 (Model Year 2022) Mild Hybrid B4 Diesel (SPA platform). I have already built my own DIY bumper harness, bought the OEM sensors (4 sensors), and have Orbit ready for activation. The car has Active Grille Shutters (AGS) but NO front fog lights and NO front camera.

I am completely confused about the main connector located under the front fender, and I suspect a local mechanic might be mistaken because he hasn't worked on these newer SPA Volvos before. He told me that the connector side with FEWER wires goes to the cabin module, and the side with MORE wires comes from the bumper. This sounds completely backwards to me and doesn't make sense.

Here is the actual situation on my car (attaching photos): On the chassis-side connector, the top row is completely blocked with white dummy plugs, and there are absolutely no wires entering it from behind. Only the bottom row has wires, which are running the Active Grille Shutters.

Since the mechanic got me confused, I want to ask those who have actually done this retrofit: what is the correct way to handle this? Since the chassis side is missing the wires for the park assist does it mean I have to manually pin them into the CEM/ASDM module in the cabin and run them through the firewall down to this fender connector?

For those who have done this DIY: how difficult is it to physically route these wires from the cabin out to the fender connector? Is there an easily accessible rubber grommet in the firewall, or does it require a lot of disassembly inside the cabin?

Could anyone please share the official Volvo Wiring Diagram (WDM) or the exact pinout for the CEM/ASDM for this model year? I really want to finish this retrofit properly but need to know exactly where to run the missing wires from the cabin.

Thank you so much for your help!
