I need to turn off the orange LED that is built into the side of the front headlights in XC90 II from USA.
Is it possible to to this by disabling some options or do I need to physically remove the led - but then there might be error poping up on the display?

BE ADVISED! VIDA detects any module replacement or addition! |

Last 3 days with VIDA weren't easy and I ended up spending money on reloading HCM and motion sensor remove, PSMD and PMSP before I was able to perform total upgrade!
It turns out there are some changes in the VIDA with their latest update!
They have added additional checks and conditions for upgrades like total upgrade.
If VIDA detects a new unit like alarm motion sensor (easiest retrofit) or even replaced controller (AUD) with the exact part and software numbers that the car came with; it detects it and adds it into HW changes list.
Here it gets really ugly!
Before connecting the VIDA, car is reverted back to original but the motion sensor was left connected or a replaced AUD (with exact software and HW diagnostic numbers) was left connected.
VIDA detects both in the hardware changes tab AUD reload, IMS remove or IMS reload by HW serial number! Once it writes it there it's done. Writing it there means, those serial number changes are stored in VOLVO cloud. Before that list is cleared it won't allow to check and to install total upgrade. The only way to clear that list is by purchasing and reloading those in the list..
Even if you disconnect them or put the original ECU back and do a new readout, it will still force you to do reload software before allowing you to do total upgrade. You can even try by installing a brand-new VIDA on a different computer and log in as a different user, once you read the car while both units are disconnected or replaced with the original, it will still force for reload! (I took the car to my friend who had a VIDA and did a read out there without the new controllers, still the same)
I retrofitted bendy lights! The VIDA detected the HCMs and forced me to reload it. $90 which I did but then things went sought! VIDA was not clear on updating and configuring the headlights and individual HCMs. I just did a straight reload and it broke the DRLs, signal lights and etc. I reloaded the individual software(s) which I used for my initial retrofit and all went back to normal.
I left the alarm motion sensor connected before the first read out because I did not know! I was forced to reload IMS remove. $30. I also had the option of purchasing IMS reload but it costs $250.
Furthermore, I upgraded my seats with ventilation, massage and extension! I ended up connecting the original PCMD and PCMP and reloading them. Because it turns out the seat controllers have different HW variants and software even for the same model although they can work properly like taking an s90 seat and putting it on S60 which I have done. If you take an S60 inscription seat and put it on s60 momentum, VIDA wouldn't reload the software complaining "This HW is not compatible with your car" Then if you put your momentum seats back, VIDA would still force you to reload PSMD and PSMP before allowing total upgrade. Which I added up doing so! I should have disconnected the seats before doing a read out.
As a result, reverting to original is not enough, all the replaced or retrofitted ECUs must be disconnected too before the VIDA readout. It does not block the car but it will record permanent HW change(s).
However, if the total upgrade includes an update on the disconnected module, then it won't work too and it does not give any info about which ECUs are going to be updated. It only shows the updated ECUs during the actual installation process.
So, Folks be careful out there!

Laggy Transmission - "Hesitation" at low revs / low gear |

Hi,
I am having issues with my Volvo XC40 MY20 (T5 R-Design, with 250k kms) where the car is quite 'hesitant' at low revs/low gear.
I'm convinced it's not normal for the car to feel this laggy at low revs (~<2k) or low speed (<15kph). It' doesn't always happen, but often enough to be an issue.
I've had the car serviced for this issue by a seemingly competent local mechanic (not Volvo official dealership), but they couldn't find the issue despite replacing transmission oil and some other unrelated repairs. It might have been beyond their skillset. *shrug*
I was consdiering purchasing an OBDII scanner to log engine/transmission/fuel data so I could figure out if there was a pattern/etc.
I'm now considering purchasing Orbit+sensor instead, but was hoping to know whether Orbit would be a better solution/investment for this issue.
Can it log more/less/same as the OBD?
What other function/features would Orbit offer to help my problem solving here?
I was also considering the Polestar upgrade (which seems to be partially enable-able by Orbit), but I want to sort out this issue first.
Thanks for any advice!

Adaptation Processes |

Hi All, so question, is there a function or planned function for enabling adaptation processes like VIDA enables? Specifically I am asking because of transmission re-learning for example?
