  fuel tank volume
Posted by: System - 07-03-2025, 02:59 PM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - Replies (1)

I replaced the fuel tank on my xs90 phev with a 71L tank (50L from the factory). On line 011 I made the change. Now when I start the car, the estimated mileage to empty tank disappears and the fuel gauge starts flashing. Is there anything else I need to change?

  Compatibility Between Orbit Activations and VIDA Usage
Posted by: SebiC98 - 07-02-2025, 09:47 PM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - Replies (1)

Dear Orbit Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I have recently performed several activations on my Volvo vehicle using Orbit, and I would like to clarify one aspect regarding compatibility with the original VIDA system.

I own and use my personal VIDA setup for diagnostics and monitoring purposes. I am also considering purchasing an official online VIDA account and want to ensure that everything will work reliably together.

My main question is: are there any potential risks or conflicts if I connect to VIDA after performing multiple activations via Orbit? Specifically:
• Could VIDA revert or interfere with the changes made via Orbit?
• Could these modifications be flagged or logged in a way that affects diagnostics or software updates?

My intention is to use VIDA for software updates, reading live data, and performing diagnostics, while keeping the customizations made through Orbit intact.

Your guidance on this would be greatly appreciated to ensure a smooth and error-free workflow.

Thank you in advance for your support.

  Critical Issue After VIM Activation – Turtle Mode + DTCs Triggered
Posted by: SebiC98 - 07-01-2025, 08:19 PM - Forum: Safety - Replies (2)

Hi all,

I tried to activate Video in Motion (VIM) on my Volvo XC60 2021 with Sensus, and I set the option to "no speed" (so video could play even while driving).

Right after applying the coding, the car went into turtle mode (reduced performance) — I can't drive faster than 10 km/h. Also, several DTCs appeared, including ones related to:

  • Battery/voltage problems
  • Braking system (CMbB)
  • Master cylinder piston position
  • H-bridge / electrical circuit intermittent

The errors appeared immediately after changing the VIM setting. I’m guessing it either conflicted with safety systems or triggered a voltage/communication fault.

Has anyone seen this before?
Could it be a wrong value in the VIM parameter? Should I revert to "stationary only" and clear DTCs again, or do a full ECU reset?

This was the flashing steps: From 03 Speed dependent -> 01 Never -> 02 Alway(All speeds) and now back to 03 Speed dependent

Any help or advice would be appreciated  I’d like to have the VIM option, I already reverted and removed the DTCs but I am wondering why is this happening.
Thanks in advance!

  Front Camera Retrofit is it possible to Activate via Orbit?
Posted by: SebiC98 - 07-01-2025, 03:26 AM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (1)

Hi everyone,

I’m considering a front camera retrofit on my Volvo XC 60 2021 and I’m willing to buy all the necessary parts (OEM camera, harnesses, etc.).

Before I proceed, I’d like to know:

Is it possible to activate and configure the front camera functionality using Orbit?


If anyone has experience with this retrofit or knows what’s required from the software side, I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks in advance!

  Orbit Works Great On MacBook Air M2 Chip
Posted by: InfraMan - 06-29-2025, 02:43 PM - Forum: Car Connectivity - Replies (3)

Thanks to Andrew I was able to get a program called "Parallels" working on my 2022 MacBook Air M2. It costs like 99 bucks to buy it and it runs Windows 11 great on the MacBook, or you can get a 14 day free trial, code your settings and cancel. They don't require a credit card. I attached a screenshot for those interested in what it would look like.

  Can Anyone in Los Angeles Help Me?
Posted by: InfraMan - 06-27-2025, 06:49 AM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - Replies (4)

Hey everyone,

I just purchased the Orbit software and have both my license and passwords ready to access my 2025.5 XC90. The only thing I’m missing is access to a Windows laptop.

I tried using my wife’s work computer, but the WiFi doesn’t reach the driveway. I urgently need to disable the auto start stop feature because every time the car stops, the AC shuts off completely and in this heat, I’m genuinely concerned about the impact on my toddler’s health.

If anyone in Los Angeles or the San Fernando Valley has a Windows laptop and would be willing to help me out, I’ll gladly pay you for your time. Please comment below or send me a DM. Thanks in advance.

Thanks
Jon
