About a month ago remote start in Volvo Cars app stopped working.
When I click to remote start a car, spinner will appear and run for a long time.
Eventually it will fail without any error.
I've scanned for error codes, but there are none.
I've restarted VCM module using OrBit, nothing changed.
I've even changed SIM card.
Around the time this stopped working I've retrofitted alarm siren and interior alarm sensor (but I'm not sure if it's the exact same time this stopped working).
One thing I've noticed is that when I get into a car and start it, car doesn't have cellular reception.
It takes a minute for it to acquire it, as if modem was turned off while car was parked.
What could be the issue? What to try next?

| Successful Retrofit: Auto-Dimming Mirror + Homelink + Compass |

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my recent experience upgrading my interior rearview mirror and getting the Homelink system to work with my gate, in case anyone else is looking to do the same retrofit.
The Starting Point My car (V60 2020) originally came equipped with the standard manual-dimming interior mirror. Luckily, when I took it apart, I found that the wiring harness for the upgraded mirrors was already present and pre-wired from the factory.
Hardware & Software - New Part: I picked up an upgraded mirror with Auto-Dimming, Homelink, and Compass (Part # 32219072).
- Coding: I used Orbit to update the car's configuration. I changed the mirror type to "Auto Dimm" and enabled Homelink using Homelink Setting 7.
The Homelink Pairing Struggle Getting the Homelink to actually trigger my gate was a bit of a journey. At first, I bought an RX-MULTI cloning device hoping it would easily clone the signal from my mirror, but it completely failed. The mirror just wouldn't communicate with it.
The Solution Big shoutout to paunionutz for the help with this! At his suggestion, I bought a generic 433Mhz RF relay kit that came with two separate remotes. Here is what I did:
- Wired the new 433Mhz relay module to my gate.
- Paired one of the included remotes to the new relay.
- Used that new remote to train the Homelink button on the rearview mirror.
It worked perfectly!
A Few Notes / Quirks:- Button Press: You have to press and hold the Homelink button on the mirror for a second or two. A quick, instant tap isn't enough to trigger the gate.
- Range: The range is actually really impressive. It triggers the gate from almost the exact same distance as my original "Nice" brand gate remote.
Hope this helps anyone trying to get around Homelink compatibility issues after a retrofit! Let me know if you have any questions about the Orbit settings or the relay wiring.

Hello! I've got a couple interests in using Orbit to tinker with. Adaptive cruise and any performance options available to me. I want to set my expectations and was wondering if someone had a list of available parameters for my year/ model. I'm understanding Orbit will let me modify settings already available on the car, correct? For instance, if there's a performance upgrade available in the 2024 model, I may not be able to use it on a '23. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I’ve put together a small interactive Volvo XC40 wiring-diagram explorer and thought it might be useful to share here.
It lets you click components, connectors, wires, and pins; trace branches or full geometry; show wire colours; and follow ordered routes through connectors. It’s still a public preview, so I’d really appreciate feedback, especially if you find an incorrect pin, route, colour, or missing branch.
I should be transparent: I have limited coding experience, and this was built entirely with Codex. I hope it can still be useful for troubleshooting and understanding the XC40 wiring diagrams.
I built it mainly because I had to go from Peugeot/citroën/DS drawings which were fully interactive in Servicebox to PDF diagrams for my XC40, and I wanted something more interacttive for my projects.
Download / source page: https://github.com/igeorge39/XC40-Wiring-Explorer
Windows users only need to download and run the EXE, no Python or other installation is needed. Please read the README before sharing further, as the included wiring document has its own copyright/distribution notice.
Thanks, and I’d love to hear what people think.
