Hi,

I own a 2020 Volvo V90 D5 AWD. Sensus system. A while ago, the Webasto remote start via the app and the car’s door locks suddenly stopped working. I received a message twice saying the battery was too weak. I also checked it with a tester, which showed that the battery was not in the best condition. I replaced the main battery, reset the BMS and discharged the capacitors. Unfortunately, the remote functions only work sometimes. After that, they stop working. Often, the status in the app is not up to date. I can see the current time but an outdated status. The other communication functions in the car work, i.e. WiFi, navigation, VOC. Webasto also works via the in-car display. What else can I do? I reseted VCM but problem is not solved. Maybe hard reset? Any ideas?

Hi all,

After programming (or during programming), Orbit clears the DTC(s). At least "... clearing DTCs ..." is shown in the dialogue box and DTCs are gone when I check afterwards.
Is it possible to keep the DTCs? And why are DTCs cleared after programming (maybe because during programming, many false triggers would go into the DTC?)

The reason why I want to keep the DTCs is: Before bringing the car to the dealer for having it serviced, i restore the configuration to OEM. However, all DTC are gone and are not visible to the dealer.

In the Orbit Expert Toolbox there are "Override programming checks" and "Skip post programming". I would assume that clearing DTC is part of the post programming and could be deactivated with the second option. But as this is in the Expert Toolbox and Orbit shows a Warnign when the box is unticked, I hesitate to just trying it.

P.S. Kudos to the Orbit devs. Great to have again the ability to take control of the car, as the newer VIDA versions  (after 2014D) are not available in europe.

Hi. As members previously advised, I got a used (5000 miles) ABS ANTI LOCK BRAKE PUMP MODULE UNIT P32214774 to replace the old Р32214772. Took the car to a local exotic garage and they changed the module. However, the car does not start. I have used orbit to set the settings for pilot assist and choose the brakes alternating with dumping and non dumping brakes. However, the car won't start. In fact, it shows a (P) engaged. The mechanic used his scanner to clear the ABS, the did a physical bleeding of the ABS and the car started however, when he came back from a test drive, the car would not start again. So we put the old abs in again and the car starts. What are we doing wrong? Do we need to crone the old unit on to the new? I can Imagine that the new unit is still holding on to the old VIN?

Hi Guys. I want to start a new project on my Volvo`s cars. I have an XC60 (`19) and XC90 (`16) SPA models. I would like to replace the battery and to put the biggest one for both cars. Is here someone that have made this?
 
I want to know if:
 
-I need to change anything else despite the battery?
-I can pair the new battery with ORBIT software?
-I have any risks doing this?
 
Until now I have found solutions for OBC repair and I would like to offer also this options for Volvo`s passion people from my city.

Hey all, wanted to share a new feature we found rolled out with 5.0.5 update. Volvo added Stop/Start disable for Chinese market, so that makes it an available feature through config now for anyone! Set Item 271 to "01 Button without memory, standard symbol" to add the control to the menus in the car. Only this setting "without memory" works, Volvo did not implement a version with memory.

I have tested on my 2025 XC40 B5 (US Market) and confirmed it works. For those that would like to have occasional control over the Start/Stop without disable completely, you can have it. Anyone that tries this on a DCT equipped car (B2/B3 etc) let us know if it works!

   
   

OrBit 1.2.7 is released! This update introduces a few new features as well as some refinements and normal bug fixes. We are continuing more frequent releases in 2026, we skipped Feb but here we are back for March...

(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:

Parameters Monitor - Real time monitoring, graph and log export of any available data fields (DIDs) for any ECU in a new Parameters Monitor dialog (find on the ECU Tools tab)

New Connection Quality monitoring- OrBit now monitors the connection to the car for communication issues when idle and during software flashing. The purpose is to help make the user aware when they have connection issues in advance of performing critical operations that require a trouble free network connection, such as software flashing. Typical issues are: bad network cable, other software on the computer interfering, network driver issues etc.

HV Coolant fill/bleed process released from beta - The required process of bleeding the HV coolant system is added to support drain and fill service.

Add Activate in-tank Fuel Pump - The electric fuel pump can be activated to support service, to prime the fuel feed system to purge air

Quick Preset filters - Added a "Quick Preset" option to the Configurator table, to filter config items to related systems. Initially the filters include: Region Change, Lighting, Performance, and Brake


Updated Features:

Software reloads module- Improvements have been made to the software flashing process to increase reliability by recovering from network errors, report detected network errors during flashing, and accurately report failure reason when a flash fails. Retrying failed critical modules that are down after failed flash has been simplified

Air Suspension calibration- Improvements to make Air Susp calibration more reliable, set the conditions of calibration and more reliably cancel service mode during calibration prep

Improvements and Fixes:

Improved Software Flashing reconnection - Improved reliability of bypassing local network delays to find the car and reconnect in programming mode when flashing software and config

Fixed Gen2 security access issue - Unlock when the ECU returns the area is already unlocked no longer fails

Improved ECU Data (DID Reads) results - Fixed handling float values and correct scaling to produce the correct output results from raw data

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

I have a 2024 XC40 with stock non-HK "High Performance Audio", and Orbitz activated Subwoofer to feed an external subwoofer in the trunk. After Orbitz activations I always had a Subwoofer volume slider in all previous Volvo software versions.

After upgrading to 5.05 this slider is now gone. Sub still sounds, but volume is fixed and too low.

Anybody else has similar experience? Is removal of SW volume slider a new anti-feature in 5.05 for stock audio? YouTube videos seem to still show the slider for HK audio but not sure.

It is possible that the regular BASS tone control now acts as a Subwoofer volume control rather than a traditional tone control, but I would have to do some more testing to figure out if that's the case. Regardless, I'd like higher SW volume.

Grateful for any input here.

Hello,
I am a new Orbit user for my 2020 Volvo V90CC.

Following a sunroof leak that caused the trailer hitch control module (module number 31454548) to be flooded, I found an identical second-hand module.

I would like to get it working in my car using Orbit. Andrew mentioned that performing a TRM module reset will make it work again.

I wanted to check with you to make sure I’m following the correct procedure:

Orbit connected → ECU Tools
Active Dia ECU: TRM
Reset ECU

Is there anything else I should do?

So far, the retractable tow hitch still doesn’t work after performing this procedure.
Thank you for your advice.

Dear Community,

the speedometer in my 2019 V60 always shows less than Waze. I need to go 53 kph to show 50 on Waze, 115 to do 110 in Waze, etc. 

Is there a setting to adjust this? The car is on the original wheels.

Hello, i’m new here   I would like to ask if disabling the start stop funcion disables also the electric motor and the 13hp or so of help in the 2024 xc90 b5 diesel mild hybrid?
I recently restored to oem after having it disabled ( waiting for the ota update..) and the car seems snappier and quicker to accelerate in various speeds…or it’s just my false feeling?
