Hello there, I have a 2016 Volvo XC90 T6 Momentum. My maps one day started going wack and couldn't find me. Took it to the dealer and they couldn't connect to the car because the VCM was bad. Which also does maps etc. from my understanding. I bought a used one from Ebay and installed it matching part numbers. I was going to try to update it via VIDA but it's like impossible to get working on my laptop. Orbit looks so much easier to use, and I can activate things like adaptive cruise with it. Will Orbit also do software updates, and can I flash my VCM? Dealer quoted me over $2K for a new VCM and reload. I can try to get VIDA to work again but after downloading and creating an account it won't even let me sign in. Thanks

Woohoo!! OrBit is no longer a Beta ;-)  Version 1.0 is released (v1.0.9.5 specifically). There are many updates, the gestation period was too long, but necessary perhaps for many of the major revisions that needed to be done at the same time. I hope you all find it useful!

(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:

Config Wizard replaces Config Presets - New Tab "Config Wizard" has a graphical configuration for popular items. The graphical config is focused on safe and known config settings managed by OrBit for the specific car. The Config Wizard is linked with the Configurator tab, all changes to the car config from the Wizard can be seen in the Configurator table. All features of the old Config Presets are covered by the Config Wizard. Additional settings will be added in the future to expand the utility of the Config Wizard.

Service Procedures - New "Service Procedures" module is added. The goal is to offer service procedures through a real time published catalog, rather than released only on application updates. Service procedures are accessed through a dropdown on the Service tab under "Additional Service Procedures". All service procedures are shown here and can be filtered by search. The same service procedures are shown from the ECU Tools tab, filtered to individual module selected in the Active Diag ECU dropdown, as a handy way to see only Service Procedures that apply to the module. Service Procedures are filtered by what is applicable to each car by modules present, chassis, model, etc. There are many SPs available on release, and feel free to send me feedback on what else you would like to see added sooner rather than later (I will work to get them all into OrBit eventually).

ECU Info reports - ECU Info can be viewed from the ECU Tools tab for each ECU found in the car. This provides a quick way to view and save all useful info from an ECU: Module part numbers, installed software and specific additional info for some modules. The stored ECU Info is updated when "Update Profile" is run from the main Shortcuts tab.

New DTC reading and reporting - OrBit now reads all DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) from the car, all status of codes (except "test not completed") are reported, with time stamps. Code resolution is massively improved. The code report defaults to confirmed codes, and the view can be changed with, with full time stamps and status displayed.

New Status: Odometer and Air Suspension - Added status shown on the main tab when connected to the car, show vehicle odometer in mi or km according to the car units setting (click on the display to switch between mi and km). Air Suspension status is also shown for cars equipped. When Service mode is shown, click on the disaply to bring up a dialog to cancel Service and take the suspension back to Normal mode.

Add VINs to OrBit license - Additional cars (VINs) can be added to your OrBit license immediately, via the Add VIN button on the Expert Toolbox tab. Credits must be purchased ahead of time (contact orders-at-spaycetech<dot>com to add license credits). This is useful for shops that need to work on customer cars right away without waiting for a VIN to be added through the current email order process.


Updated Features:

Update Profile: existing ECUs option - When running profile update, OrBit will now ask if you like to "find new ECUs" in the process. This was the previous default, now you can answer NO to this prompt, to update existing ECU info only. This option is useful when you want to quickly update ECU info without the need to search for newly installed or missing ECUs, it dramatically reduces the time to complete the profile update.

Parking Camera Calibration: Monitor while driving - OrBit now releases the usage mode control on starting Parking Camera Monitor, so the car can be started and driven while monitoring the parking camera calibration status.

ECU Flash - Flashing software files to ECUs is improved, IHU and DIM are now added to flashing over previous version. PBL flash is now possible, supported for modules that load software running on the Primary Boot Loader rather than loading a Secondary Boot Loader(SBL). ECU Backup also supports PBL mode as well. Numerous improvements for reliability have been made.


Improvements and Fixes:

Splash Screen startup - OrBit now displays a splash screen on start-up, with task status for cache loading, update check, config files update etc. before the application main window is shown.

Speed and reliability - Many improvements have been made to the efficiency of OrBit loading data and reading from the car, as well as unnecessary waiting time has been removed. Overall speed of navigating, running processes, flashing config etc. is improved.

Car Connection - OrBit now supports "Entity Request" active method to find and connect to the car, to improve the reliability of connection.

Flashing/Programming reliability - The flashing process has been heavily revised to improve reliability, recover from local connection issues, minimize residual codes and messages in the car, and provide more useful error messages to the user. Only critical issues will stop successful programming. Usage mode check is now done before programming starts, prompting the user to take the car out of Driving mode.

Preserve OTA updates - When "Restore to OEM" is run on the AAOS(iCup) car, the user is prompted to decide whether to preserve OTA Updates. Preserving the OTA update allows Restore to OEM after a system OTA update is queued, without cancelling the update, so it can be installed immediately after Restoring to the OEM config. Default behavior previously always cancelled the queued OTA update on Write Config or Restore to OEM with OrBit.

SRS airbag status faults - An issue was found, that DTCs can be seen after programming, for "passenger airbag status" indicator, on the SRS and CEM modules, and an SRS fault error can be seen on the dash display. These codes could not be cleared through the normal code clearing process. OrBit DTC clear process has been adjusted to successfully clear these fault codes.

Air Suspension Calibration feedback - When the air suspension cannot be calibrated due to the disabled status of leveling control, OrBit now returns the specific reason leveling is disabled from the SUM (e.g. "Door is open"). OrBit also takes the air suspension out of Service mode when preparing for calibration.

Key Programming workflow improved - OrBit now informs the user when the Security PIN is incorrect and allows the PIN to be cleared, so the user can re-enter or perform extract from the car. This will reduce the confusion that some users have when they save the CEM PIN as the Security PIN, and also allow the problem to be easily fixed with guidance in OrBit.

PIN Finder update - updated for new VIDA log formats and compatible with some USB captures from wireshark.

Send Cmd update - Sending raw commands to ECUs can now be done in programming mode, and after loading an SBL


Many more improvements!! - OrBit 1.0 is a comprehensive update from the beta version, many components re-written with the benefit of feedback from now thousands of users over time. I can't possibly cover it all, there is so much, but the above is the bigger stuff. Thank you everyone who has been here since the OrBit Beta era ;-) We've come a long way!

Changed road sign from usa to europe, signs are now detected but the car still thinks speeds are miles and not kilometers like i have my speedo in km’s. What option do i need to change car to think it’s not in US anymore? I have attached the photo where you can see the detected sign and red mark on the speedo.

Hi,

I strongly suspect one of my door midrange speakers has failed - however, finding it difficult to 100% confirm that due to the speaker's close proximity to the tweeter (which
works). I would love to avoid disassembling the door panel as that is not really something I am comfortable doing.

Does OrBit have the capability to verify connectivity/functionality of all the speakers in the car? I have been poking around the IHU/AUD ECU funtions, but have not found anything relevant.

Car is an '18 S90, so Sensus with B/W, if that matters.

Appreciate any assistance!

How can I register VIN in the BBS unit? I didn't find any work with the BBS module. Can this be added?

Hi I have an motor problem on the air heater damper motor to the front windscreen, error code B1085, and I would like to know if the orbit software can try and get the actuator to try and move to see if the flap can be freed up.

If anyone knows if this can be done would you let me know how to do it please.

Thank you.

Hi! I decided to install a towbar on my XC40. I bought a set: 

Folding towbar (13pin socket) with fasteners and wires (original, but used. In perfect condition) 32270801

Towbar control unit 32386674 (brand new. The store indicated the number 32369968 as a replacement 32386674 . After the actual order, they sent a notification that the part number 32369968 was changing to an even newer number 32414268)  The kit includes: modul TRM, adhesive tape for fastening, fuse 40A

Three-row button 31453060 (brand new)

All wiring was already prepared at the factory. Fuses F41(25A) and F42(40A) were also installed at the factory. Voltage is present on the large connector.

Problem: After installing and checking the connection, I decided to change the configuration with Orbit. I turned on:

051 TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST (With)
110 REAR FOGLIGHT TOW FUNCTION (Foglights shut off when towing)
211 TRAILER MODULE, AFTERMARKET (Trailer Module 13-pos socket,Semi-el retractable towbar)

Programming is successful, but the towbar does not work.When you press the button, the hook does not fall out.
There is no backlight on the towbar button (the folding backrests are illuminated) and the hook indicator does not light. Can someone tell me what the problem is???

Recently bought a used 2022 Polestar with only Plus.

Got my CEM/VGM pins with no issue, and managed to enable Pixel Headlights.

I had to fuss with the VOE ethernet driver settings (particularly any driver settings having to do with green/energy savings) to fix some odd Write to Car issue, but I managed to figure it out with enough fussing.

However, when I went to use the Orbit preset to enable level 1 ACC/PA, I had a problem. After a successful Write to Car, the ACC/PA icons were now present in the IHU and the dash, but when I would attempt to engage ACC via the steering wheel, the dash would simply report "Unavailable".

After some tinkering, I discovered I had to set Adaptive Cruise Control Version 314 to "Version 2". This allowed me to successfully engage ACC. I street tested it with both follow and stop/go both performing as expected.

Since I had to change 314 to "Version 2", which is not the preset, I'm curious if anyone knows what the different versions are for?

Hello everyone! 

I have a Volvo XC60, 2019 (Sensus) and I would like to enable navigation or map on driver's display. Not sure if this is important, but my car has Internet Maps and one USB port. Which options do I need to enable in Orbit so I can see the maps on my drivers display, and are any additional actions required? 

Thanks in advance
