Hello everyone, 

I've been reading the forums for a while for the lots of things Orbit can do, but I understand it's quite model / version specific, so I was wondering if it's worth purchasing Orbit for my new car and what can I do with it. 
The car in question is a EU '25 XC60 Ultra B5 - with the updated AAOS screen (the bigger one) with air suspension, full led lights with bending, panoramic roof, ventilated seats, etc.

I would consider buying Orbit in order to tweak the max speed limit option, but any other modifications or improvements that could be made on this version of the car worthwhile the trouble?
Another feature that made Orbit interesting for me would be the Polestar optimization but as far as I could tell from the other threads this is not the same as purchasing the rather expensive Polestar software from the dealer (it's funny how if you basically want a "sport" mode you need to pay close to 1000 EUR). 

Since the car is pretty new I'm not interested in doing any hardware modifications or deep diagnostics & troubleshooting for now. 

Thank you upfront for your responses.

I own a XC40 Inscription MY2022 with Sensus that came without fog lights. I would like to retrofit them.
Is there an easy way to figure out if I have all the wiring without disassembling front bumper?

• Connectors on the front bumper harness
  
• All the wires in engine harness going to CEM
  

Hello all,

My Polestar has started displaying "Disconnect Charging Cable" while no charging cable is attached.   This,  in turn, immobilizes the vehicle.

Apparently, there is a TSB 36404.4 for applying OBC software SP: 32406479

Trying to avoid a trip to the Stealer.  I do have, and have used, Orbit.  Is this something Orbit can do?  If so, where do I find / how do I get SP:32406479 ?

Thanks.

Mike

Hi all, 

After buying several wrong parts and trying to find all the information in one spot and failing, here is a definitive guide with part numbers to retrofitting the factory reversing camera. This is just the rear one, not the 360 cameras.
This is for a 2022 R-Design with Sensus

Parts Needed: 
-Tailgate handle (with camera hole) Pt No: 32310006
-Camera Pt No: 32286680
-Loom Pt No: 31650607

The install instructions can be found here:  Parking assistance, camera, rear - XC40 2022 - Volvo Cars Accessories

The hardest part is getting cable through the boot(trunk) cable glands. After this, just run the loom, I managed to do it without taking all the trims off. Just find a way to run the loom to the centre console. Once there, I managed to put a long allen key to pull of the trim(the bit with the volume knob) its stiff, but will come. Once there, plug the loom into the correct socket.

Once all connected, go to Orbit, and activate 154. Then option 09 'Camera Gen 2 Always in Reverse''


Hope that helps!

Hi all members
can someone to tell me what i coded or done wrong that i cant see side bolsters in HU?i cant control these and know that they pulls sometimes litlle bit after starting a car.thanks        

I have a 2020 S60 T6 Momentum. I'm mostly concerned about getting ACC over anything else, but any other additional features I can add is a plus.

Just looking for clarification on how I can verify what my car would, in theory, support. My car does not have ACC or PA, but it does have the Intellisafe system with Lane keep, sign reading, etc. Photo below of dash during startup. I do not have 360 cameras, only rear. I'd like to enable the ASL headlights with corning as well (our XC90 has this). It is a US based car.

I did read about the ABS pump so I'm not concerned about that, but there's no concrete thread that shows what each car will support (I understand this is still a new system).

If there's any recommendations on cable(s) (or a pinned post that I maybe overlooked) I'd appreciate that as well.

I'll gladly provide my VIN if necessary.

Thanks for any insight/confirmations before I order the system!

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to troubleshoot an air suspension calibration issue on my 2016 Volvo XC90 T8 and would appreciate some advice from people familiar with VIDA/SUM calibration.
Background:
The left rear height sensor linkage was previously disconnected from the sensor arm. Before I fully restored the mechanical position of the linkage and sensor arm, I performed a calibration in VIDA while the vehicle was physically sitting at what looked like normal ride height.
At that time, the sensor readings were roughly:

• Left rear: 0.55 V
  
• Right rear: 3.23 V
  

• Left rear: 3.23 V
  
• Right rear: 3.23 V
  

• Left rear voltage decreases, for example 3.3 V → 1.9 V
  
• Right rear voltage increases, for example 3.3 V → 4.5 V
  

1. Does this interpretation make sense? In other words, could the SUM be chasing the old left rear calibration value of ~0.55 V even though the mechanical sensor position has now been corrected?
   
2. Is there a Orbit procedure that allows a static height / sensor position calibration where I can keep the car at the current correct physical ride height, enter the measured heights, and overwrite the old calibration?
   
3. If the calibration routine first tries to auto-level using the old calibration, is it safe/reasonable to temporarily disable the compressor or remove the compressor fuse so the rear cannot be raised during calibration? I understand that residual reservoir pressure could still raise the car through the valve block, so I’m not sure whether this is a valid approach.
   
4. Does VIDA require the compressor / air suspension system to be fully online for SUM calibration to complete, or can the height sensor calibration be written with leveling disabled?
   
5. Is there any SUM adaptation reset, initialization, “identification,” software reload, or re-programming procedure that clears an incorrect height calibration? I do not mean just clearing DTCs, but actually resetting/relearning the SUM height reference.
   

Hi,

Is there a setting in Orbit for the kick sensor?
Kick sensor is suddenly not responsive and my workshop was telling me that after I replaced my read bumper lower trim, I should reset my kick sensor.
It did work once when i was wiping down the rear bumper after washing the car.
Does it make sense?

I'm troubleshooting an issue(s) with my wife's 2016 XC90 T6. Or, at least I'd like to be troubleshooting better than I am.

I've only sporadically been able to connect with OrBit (never with VDash) to get any information from the car. When it does connect, the connection quality ranges from Red at less than half on the little indicator bar, to Orange at about 2/3 up. I've never seen a green connection with OrBit.

Almost always, I get "VOE connection is present but the car is not responding". When I run a WireShark trace on my VOE adapter's Ethernet port, it indeed shows "50 Vehicle identification request" but no response from the car. In fact, I see a large number of packets from 169.254.158.215 (my laptop's IP) to the car but not a single one from the car to my laptop.

I don't want to pay for a VIDA subscription until I can reliably connect with either OrBit or Vdash... $100 on a failed experiment is a bit steep.

My understanding of how these units fail is that they just die. No connection at all, just a dead socket. This seems to be something different since I can, very rarely, get a (poor) connection.

A battery reset is my best chance at connecting... in all prior instances where I've been able to connect, I've previously done a complete shut down and disconnect of my laptop, then performed a battery reset (disconnect the negative battery terminal for a few minutes). A suggestion on the OrBit FAQ suggests pulling the backup battery for the VCM, to do a true power-down. I did that and left it disconnected.

That allowed me to connect once, but not since. (I have the "Volvo OnCall Service Required" message now, which makes sense.)

Anyway, before I drop $700+ on a replacement VCM, I'd like some reassurance this is actually a failing unit, not just noise in another system.

Thanks for any help you can lend!

Hi guys!

Im really confused about what to choose and what's working.

XC60 MY18 with full tech package - 360 camera etc (EU)

OEM
023 - Cruise control Start & go level 1 - now changed to level 2
145 - Traffic jam assist with assist level 2 - there are up to level 4 - could the car use it?
148 - Curve speed support - non - now changed to without curve speed warning but with curve speed assist)
312 - Lane change assist - now changed to level 4
314 - ACC version 1 - now changed to ACC version 4

Also used the configuration wizard and changed to PA/ACC 2 + curve speed assist.

What can the car use and what is unnecessary choices/levels?
