  Critical Issue After VIM Activation – Turtle Mode + DTCs Triggered
Posted by: SebiC98 - 07-01-2025, 08:19 PM - Forum: Safety - Replies (3)

Hi all,

I tried to activate Video in Motion (VIM) on my Volvo XC60 2021 with Sensus, and I set the option to "no speed" (so video could play even while driving).

Right after applying the coding, the car went into turtle mode (reduced performance) — I can't drive faster than 10 km/h. Also, several DTCs appeared, including ones related to:

  • Battery/voltage problems
  • Braking system (CMbB)
  • Master cylinder piston position
  • H-bridge / electrical circuit intermittent

The errors appeared immediately after changing the VIM setting. I’m guessing it either conflicted with safety systems or triggered a voltage/communication fault.

Has anyone seen this before?
Could it be a wrong value in the VIM parameter? Should I revert to "stationary only" and clear DTCs again, or do a full ECU reset?

This was the flashing steps: From 03 Speed dependent -> 01 Never -> 02 Alway(All speeds) and now back to 03 Speed dependent

Any help or advice would be appreciated  I’d like to have the VIM option, I already reverted and removed the DTCs but I am wondering why is this happening.
Thanks in advance!

  Front Camera Retrofit is it possible to Activate via Orbit?
Posted by: SebiC98 - 07-01-2025, 03:26 AM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (1)

Hi everyone,

I’m considering a front camera retrofit on my Volvo XC 60 2021 and I’m willing to buy all the necessary parts (OEM camera, harnesses, etc.).

Before I proceed, I’d like to know:

Is it possible to activate and configure the front camera functionality using Orbit?


If anyone has experience with this retrofit or knows what’s required from the software side, I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks in advance!

  Orbit Works Great On MacBook Air M2 Chip
Posted by: InfraMan - 06-29-2025, 02:43 PM - Forum: Car Connectivity - Replies (4)

Thanks to Andrew I was able to get a program called "Parallels" working on my 2022 MacBook Air M2. It costs like 99 bucks to buy it and it runs Windows 11 great on the MacBook, or you can get a 14 day free trial, code your settings and cancel. They don't require a credit card. I attached a screenshot for those interested in what it would look like.

  Can Anyone in Los Angeles Help Me?
Posted by: InfraMan - 06-27-2025, 06:49 AM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - Replies (4)

Hey everyone,

I just purchased the Orbit software and have both my license and passwords ready to access my 2025.5 XC90. The only thing I’m missing is access to a Windows laptop.

I tried using my wife’s work computer, but the WiFi doesn’t reach the driveway. I urgently need to disable the auto start stop feature because every time the car stops, the AC shuts off completely and in this heat, I’m genuinely concerned about the impact on my toddler’s health.

If anyone in Los Angeles or the San Fernando Valley has a Windows laptop and would be willing to help me out, I’ll gladly pay you for your time. Please comment below or send me a DM. Thanks in advance.

Thanks
Jon

  XC60 2022 Back-up Camera, 360 Camera settings
Posted by: jawful - 06-27-2025, 04:26 AM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - No Replies

Hello. First time user and poster. I'm a new driver of a used XC60 2022 model with the Android Auto infotainment system. I purchased and used orbit for the first time to erase my missing 2nd keyfob and re-register the one in my possession so I could reset the system and register the app. It worked flawlessly. Now I'd like to dive into the other settings. 

There's one thing I don't like much that I'm hoping can be changed. 

1) When I backup, it shows the 360 camera view by default (I'm in Japan). I can switch it to rear-facing manually, but then the upper half of the screen is just black. I saw that in recent model software updates, they started showing both cameras? Is there anyway to use Orbit to add this to my 2022 XC60? If impossible, then I'd prefer the default to be the rear facing camera and not the 360. 

2) When driving and coming to a stop at traffic lights or moving slow in a traffic jam, the 360 often comes on automatically when other cars or I'm near the side of the road, etc. I'll be completely stopped at a red light, it'll switch to 360, I'll back out of the camera and a few seconds later it switches to camera again! This is really annoying, especially when I've got videos going for my kiddos. I don't need an automatic switch to my camera when I'm in drive mode.  And I certainly don't need it to switch back over and over even though I've backed out of it. Is there a setting I can disable to prevent this?

If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks in advance!

  Orbit... Which Package?
Posted by: Robotack - 06-26-2025, 07:59 PM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - Replies (2)

Hi Folks,
First post here. I'm about to purchase an Orbit package but I'm totally lost as to what I need.

Like like to experiment with settings in general, but my main goal is to activate a drive mode switch that I've bought for my V90 Cross Country which came from the factory without one. 

Any help much appreciated!
