Hi, I am a new 2024 Polestar 2 owner and I suspect we may be missing a key, which is holding us back from adding our phones as a digital key. Can you confirm that the Orbit software, PIN and compatible VOE cable are what I need to search for and delete any missing keys?

Can you provide some instruction on the steps to do this so I can decide if I am suited to do this on my own at home?

Thanks!

Does anyone know whether Volvo / Google have recently updated AAOS to support dTPMS please?

Reason for asking is that I have a MY26 XC90 T8 Ultra (so it's an AA car) bought in the UK and I'm keen to have dTPMS, so did a bit of research into each of the potential stumbling points that I thought of, namely:

• Keyless frequency - took the key apart and checked under the blade, it shows that I have a car using 433Mhz
  
• Suitable TPMS sensor - after lots of searching I found that the Volvo USA website lists part number 32134419 (here) as being suitable for use with my car, along with numerous others, specifically the EX90 (2025-7), S90 (2027) and the XC90 (2016-2027). This appears to be a sensor generally for use with winter tyres, not that I can see any reason why winter / summer / all-season tyres would be able to facilitate or prevent such a sensor from working.
  
• The above TPMS sensor (32134419) also uses the 433Mhz frequency
  

Hi - I understand Orbit doesn't support Polestar 4 yet.

But can I use Orbit to look at the car & see codes?

If so do I have to purchase at $100 just to view & not be able to change / reset ?

2021 XC40 BEV software 5.0.5 update a few weeks prior to this issue starting.

IHU has no internet connectivity but SOS light is white and Volvo Cars app works.

I see  VGM-U105E00 error code occasioanlly.

Orbit cannot write config changes because it cant talk to the IHU, I assume communication is via VGM?

Everything else in the car works fine.

Any thoughts?

Hello, 

can the OEM settings stored in Orbit be updated? 
I mean after visiting a dealer, so they may did updates (or officially added any features, like trailer coupling) and I want to be sure that the settings stored in Orbit are up-to-date?
I think the "restore to OEM" button uses the settings saved at the very first beginning of using Orbit with the car. 

Thanks for any contribution to that!

Greetings Tom

I get questions about the tire size configurations occasionally. So it seems i should publish my current knowledge and understanding of them. Everything has been learned through experience and research, helping OrBit users. If you think something is not correct, let me know.

OrBit is a little different than Volvo with the tire settings, but the result is you have more flexibility. Volvo has pre-defined Tire softwares for each car, for specific sizes. They would not have any wheel setting application possible for any combination that is not original to the car, or available as an official accessory. The way Volvo applies the tire settings is by what you can see in OrBit as Items 017 and 018, the tyre dimension, and tyre circumference. They apply only pre-configured adjustments for the exact tire/wheel combinations they offer from the factory and as accessories. You can make adjustments on your own to each config as you like with OrBit. I'll give you some guidance on them:


017 TYRE DIMENSION: This config setting adjusts the steering stops in the electric power steering system in the car, for example if you change the config for larger (wider) tire, steering end stop is adjusted to allow clearance for the wider tires by reducing the maximum steering angle. That makes your minimum turning circle larger, but your tires shouldn't rub the wheel well liner in that case. The tire size configs are pre-defined. You could choose a tire size that is not officially associated with your model. The car seems to take it in all cases, but you could find a combination that creates an invalid config. 


018 TYRE CIRCUMFERENCE: This setting adjusts the input from the wheel speed sensors for the actual tire size (rolling circumference), to make distance and speed data and displays in the car accurate. More simply, this is the one you want to adjust to correct the speedometer/odometer for a "taller" or "shorter" wheel/tire combination.


What setting to use for Item 018 circumference? We can't really say. Tire circumference varies between tires, even the same size. A 235/45/19 in a different tire brand, or even different model tire of the same brand, will have different actual dimensions and different rolling circumference. Manufacturers don't normally publish the rolling circumference data for their tires. So you may need to use some trial to find the right setting if you feel the need to adjust it. You could compare GPS speed data to the speed display (speedometer) in the car. But the speed display in the car is usually intentionally inaccurate, to always display higher than the actual speed by a bit. 


If you want to check and adjust the circumference setting, it may be best to check by measured distance (odometer) against GPS measurement, as that should be expected to be accurate in the car, and comparable as long as the distance travelled to compare is generally a straight line.

If you've changed wheel and tire size, you probably have not made a significant change of the circumference. As you fit a larger wheel for example, you must use a lower aspect ratio (shorter sidewall) tire that maintains similar circumference. If you did not do that, you would run into clearance issues for the tire, or the car may just look odd if you make too big of a change ;-) So you may not need to make any change to the tire circumference, but if you want to test and adjust, you can do it.

Recently did an OEM config restore on my (car s/w 4.2.13) and ever since, the car no longer comes to a complete stop when set up for "Creep = Off" (One pedal driving mode on full)

There is a difference between Creep On and Off so the modes are changing, but is there a config item that sets up Creep Off characteristics?
 (I cant see one on the ancient list from Sept 24 - but the conversations allude to more being added since)

On these forums I've seen configuration item 214 recommended as the setting to change in order to make the orange care key behave like a normal key.  When using my care key, all of the profile settings are greyed out so I was hoping to change setting 214 to allow the care key to function as a normal key, however I do not see setting 214 in orbit.  My understanding is that not all cars can use the orange key as a fully functional normal key and that if setting 214 isn't available it means my care key cannot function normally.  Is my understanding correct?

The car is a 2018 XC60 T6 Inscription.

Thanks!

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but on my Polestar 2 the Orbit custom configuration (pixel headlights, some other things) was not affected by the recent OTA software update to 5.0.10.

I have V60cc 2022 B4 mildhybrid 
I won't buy Orbit if I can disable Start stop.
