0.9.7 is released. Mostly updated to improve ease of use and reliability

(Latest version of OrBit can always be downloaded here: https://app.spaycetech.com/orbitupdate/download)

New features:

• Installer updated. OrBit requires admin rights to install and is an "exe" file. The upside of this is the OrBit installer handles the firewall exception so you are not likely to ever have a problem connecting to the car because Windows Defender firewall is blocking the communications.
  
• OrBit detects when the car network is connected. You will see a message now "No car network detected" when you try to connect a car when no Volvo car network is actually connected. You will know to check your connections rather than wonder why you get a "timeout" from OrBit.
  
• Various improvements to speed and reliability. Very technical stuff but updated compiler and other low level packaging changes improve speed and reliability.
  
• DTC reading now defaults to "Confirmed" codes. This makes sense for the "default" option to read trouble codes, rather than the previous "Pending" codes. This is an interrim step as code reading will be upgraded soon to allow user control of the code status read from the car. (Note also: Although not part of the OrBit application, the database of ECU information OrBit uses has been updated massively with new ECU info including code descriptions. The incidence of "no description found..." for some codes should be drastically reduced!)
  

• Updated key programming to fix issue where the result from adding a key is "timeout error" but key is successfully programmed.
  
• ABS config clear has been adjusted once again for BCM2 cars. I think we got it right this time ;-)
  
• Updates made to "PIN Finder" to improve reliability and fix an issue of false return "no PIN info found" when PIN info is present.
  
• Various small bug fixes and changes for improved reliability of OrBit
  

I have a question for all of you knowledgeable people, my speedometer shows 5 km/h too little and I find that really annoying. Is there a way to calibrate it in OrBit?

Hi everybody, does someone know what kind of modem it's in a V90 CC year 2018? Is it 3G or 4G?

For those who would like to activate VOLVO On Call, 
There is a %10 discount at https://vip.steingoldvolvocars.com/ 
I just purchased yesterday night for $180 instead of $200 for a year and I can use the app. 
After the "Your order is completed" email, you may need to call VOLVO and get a new PIN if your complementary subscription has already ended. It takes less than 10 minutes.

Ok, quick question.

For those of you who have Adaptive High Beams from the factory, what is the default state of the high beams? Bending enabled or not bending?

Hi 
Does anyone know if there is a parametre to increase the distance the  ACC keeps to car in front ?

I believe it is maximum 3 sec normally and it feels too close, specially when driving in less dense traffic.
Compared to VAG cars where it is ~5 sec, it feels little too close for relaxed driving.

Seems little strange choice for Volvo that used to be for safety.

Pls, lets not start an argument thread is it close or not...

Pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but has anyone with an AAOS car successfully activated the passenger seat control? I use it sometimes in our V90, and if by some crazy miracle it's possible to use it in the Polestar 2, then that would be cool. However, I'm guessing the Polestar has no way to display a UI for that functionality.

I have a 2021 Polestar 2, so it doesn't have the interior particulate sensor(s), and as a result this code line is "off"/without, which makes sense.

However, I'm wondering if I switch it on, will the car then make the app available, and will it be able to show the exterior particulate matter, which it just pulls down from the web via the cell connection.
