  HELP! Retrofit rear parking camera
Posted by: Kenn - 08-01-2026, 07:55 PM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (1)

   
Volvo v60 -2021 SPA
So I bought a camera with blue back, not 360. With 4 pin connector and a cable like one from the other threads (pink angled connector and dark blue? straight connnector). The cable didnt fit so i removed the plastic housing and now there is nog plastic guidance, meaning I can turn the cable any way around in both ends. The ihu cable is mounted with the cable downwards and the camera side has the cut corner on the lower left side. 

Fitted it and changed 154 to 02 "with camera". Then I checked the cable. It was crossed in the blue and green line (pin 2 and 3). Switched the cables so its now straight. 1-1. Meaning they are installed the same in bot ends. Same pin our. I then put everything together but still no rear parking camera on screen. 

The camera symbol is in the sensus menu but no grey bar on the left side on the camera symbol )as the other symbol has in the menu)

I think I found the schematics but I need help understanding it?

Please advise. I´m going crazy here!

  Polestar 2 AVAS (Exterior speaker) Diagnostics
Posted by: MarDiUK - 08-01-2026, 01:05 PM - Forum: Service Functions - No Replies

Hey everyone!

My P2 2020 throws up "Exterior Speaker Malfunction" - which is the AVAS system. Ordinarily this is pinned on the early models not being as water-resistant as you might hope, but mine is 90% non-functional and then every now and then it'll be absolutely golden, and it doesn't matter at all what the weather has been like.

If I had to suspect, it's a connector that's vibrated loose - but what within Orbit could I use to diagnose what specifically is causing the malfunction to be thrown up, between the two speakers and the control module?

  Vida and/or Orbit Progression for Carplay
Posted by: titanbrave84 - 07-31-2026, 07:36 PM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - Replies (4)

Hey,

I have a 2016 Volvo XC90 T8 PHEV Inscription with single port USB. I want to activate CarPlay. I’m aware that the dual port is not necessary. So what’s the process. I have VOE cable and Windows device, do I go through the rigmarole of updating all my software via VIDA first and use wireshark to grab my pin, and then Orbit or should I just bypass VIDA altogether and do Orbit with Pin Retrieval, and simply activate CarPlay that way? 

I don’t know what the latest software is on my vehicle, but I’ve heard that some of the software updates can actually make the car operate more efficiently in regards to the PHEV element. 

TLDR: 
VIDA > Wireshark for Pin > Software Updates > Orbit > Activate CarPlay 
Bypass Updates > Orbit with Pin Retrieval > Activate Carplay

  Turbo adaptions reset
Posted by: matuuu - 07-30-2026, 05:08 AM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - No Replies

Hello,
Does Orbit have an option to reset the turbo adaptations?
I replaced the turbocharger, and the adaptation reset has not been performed yet. Is it actually necessary, and if so, where can I find this function?

  Drive Mode Selector Memory
Posted by: CornishSwede - 07-29-2026, 10:59 AM - Forum: Engine / Transmission - Replies (1)

I caught a YouTube video the other day where a commentor mentioned you could set Drive Mode (ie, Eco - Comfort - Polestar Engineered - Individual) to have a memory so that you don't have to select it on every restart of the car.

As I have Start Stop off in 'Individual' Saved Settings (A as well as Polestar on and firmer steering) this would be blummin useful to be able to set, I've not been able to identify the configuration code, anyone have any ideas?

  Shift Paddle Retrofit: Manual shifting reverts back to 'D' automatically
Posted by: HugoRS10 - 07-28-2026, 12:04 AM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (7)

Hi everyone. I’ve recently retrofitted OEM shift paddles onto my 22.5 Volvo S60 Polestar Engineered. The paddles function, but when manual shifting in D or B mode, the car reverts back to automatic after a short while say maybe 3 seconds.

Is there an option or config I can change in Orbit that will command the car to remain in 'manual' shift mode without it automatically reverting back to a few seconds after shifting?


Makes the paddle shift retrofit an absolute waste of time, money and effort quite frankly otherwise.

Thanks ?

Posted by: jos - 07-25-2026, 11:51 PM - Forum: Misc - Replies (4)

Hi,

since Volvo UX 5.0.5 and 5.1.17 i quite often have a loss of blinker and audio output which needs a IHU reboot or much worser in the night while driving reboot while everything goes dark for a while, if this just me or has anyone else similar problems? It doesn't matter of the car is on OEM or with changed config.


Best Regards JOS

  Polestar theme on Sensus (Parameter 168)
Posted by: Ted68 - 07-25-2026, 06:23 PM - Forum: Audio / Visual - Replies (3)

Hi,
I am trying to activate the blue Polestar theme on my Sensus car. I changed Parameter 168 (Screen Theme/Skins) to 05 Polestar. When I start the car, the Polestar logo appears in the driver display for a second. The theme itself doesn't change color at all, only the startup logo is visible.
I have tried searching for Trim Line and Brand parameters but couldn't find the right ones for my software version. Could anyone help me find which other parameter I need to change to lock in the blue Polestar theme?
My car is a Volvo V60 2020 D3

  Random MIL & Brake Warning Lights (ESC/ABS) after Polestar/VMax flash - V60 MY21 Mild
Posted by: vec.italy - 07-24-2026, 04:28 PM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - Replies (3)

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some advice on a recurring issue with a customer's car after flashing the CCF.
Vehicle: Volvo V60 MY2021 (B-Series Mild Hybrid, Sensus).
Modifications Applied:

  • ID 044: 250 km/h (VMax)
  • ID 374: 02 (Polestar Optimization)
  • ID 057: 03 (Drive Mode Digital UI on IHU - No physical scroll wheel present)
The Issue: The flash goes through perfectly and the car runs great. However, while driving, the car randomly throws the Check Engine Light (MIL) along with various brake/chassis warning lights (ESC / ABS / Parking Brake). Important note: the car does not go into Limp Mode and there is no power loss. Polestar mode works perfectly, but the dash lights up like a Christmas tree.
What I've already tried: I know that ID 057 = 03 without the physical wheel triggers the
Code:
ECM-U230056
ghost code, but that usually doesn't trigger the dashboard MIL. To fix the brake lights, I have performed the "ABS Clear Config" in the OrBit Services tab multiple times, followed by "Clear All DTCs" and a full 15-20 minute Deep Sleep (key fob far away). Unfortunately, the calibration doesn't seem to stick, and the warnings come back.
My questions for the community:
  1. Has anyone experienced this specific VDDM/brake module freakout on the newer B-Series / 48V architectures?
  2. Could the brake warnings be chained to the
    Code:
    ECM-U230056
    mismatch code? Would reverting ID 057 to
    Code:
    01
    (sacrificing the IHU button) permanently solve both the MIL and the ABS/ESC warnings?

I have already emailed support with the modified profile, but I wanted to see if anyone here has cracked this yet.
Thanks in advance!

Johnny.

  OrBit v1.3.4 release notes
Posted by: Power6 - 07-23-2026, 12:48 AM - Forum: Releases - No Replies

OrBit 1.3.4 is released! This update introduces a couple new features as well as some refinements of the back end, updates to the user interface, and normal bug fixes. We are failing at more frequent releases, so here we are in July...

(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:

Car information display - Model and other basic car information of the connected car is shown in the main tab now renamed Dashboard (formerly "Shortcuts"). 

Add Activate in-tank Fuel Pump - The electric fuel pump can be activated to support service, to transfer fuel inside the "saddle" type fuel tank.

New Service Procedures  **New procedures are published outside of OrBit software updates, however I call them out here as some require new version of OrBit to support them and they are not otherwise announced:

Infotainment - Active Noise Control Disable (for Android IHU)
Suspension - Position Sensor Calibration (Four-C / No Air Susp)
Engine - Reset EGR Adaptation, IEM Gen1&2 - Calibration
ADBLUE - Reset adaptations - (for all 4 equipment replacements)
Transaxle - Gear Position Sensor Calibration
ECM - Reset Adaptations - Fuel Injector X (all 4 injectors for diesl models that support)
AWD(DEM) - Oil Pressure Pump Venting
Security - Wake up Phone as Key Module (PAKM) from Transport Mode
Safety - SRS Calibrate Inertial Sensors (for Bosch SRS modules) 


Updated Features:

Battery and oil level display correct for all models - Displays for HV battery State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH) were previously incorrect for some years/models as well as oil level not displayed for cars with Bosch ECM. This should now be correct for all support models.

Disconnected car handling and keep alive- OrBit now disconnects when the connected car is missing. OrBit also monitors the connection present to a car when disconnected to prevent the car from sleeping so it is available to connect without needing to wake it by re-plug the VOE adapter. 

Software package download improvments- OrBit now provides error message feedback when unable to download software files needed for a package, if download fails, Internet is unreachable etc. Custom files are now supported for car specific installs, all files can be downloaded. Included is improved logging for better support help.

PIN Decoding progress- Add progress bar when running PIN decoding on Wireshark captures, so progress can be seen when parsing and cracking PINs on large Wireshark capture files.

CEM Flashing recovery- Easier recovery from failed CEM flash when the CEM is not responding, when attempting flash again OrBit recognizes the CEM is not responding and passes checks to proceed to flashing software to recover the CEM back to normal operation.


Improvements and Fixes:

FLC2 Safety Camera Calibration- Fixed multiple bugs preventing calibration of the front facing camera, corrected allowed distance measurement range etc.

Update diagnostics support for 2026.5/2027 models - Handle the update CEM security. Note we can still not support config on these secured new models.

Connection quality warning - Adjusted limits to warn less frequently about connection quality when the risk of a problem is low.

Mounted ECUs/faster profile updates- OrBit now keeps track of the ECUs (modules) that should be mounted in the car, to process profile updates faster and deal with missing modules better. 

Service Procedures- Results handling is improved to reduce the instance of false positives, i.e. procedure successful but OrBit still displays an error return.

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