| XC90 II Tail Lights Reprogramming to EU |

Hello,
I've noticed that some companies offer to reprogram US/Canada tail lights so that they blink in amber. Does anyone know how they achieve this? Are they physically replacing the LEDs, or is it just a software modification with OrBIT?

| Key Programming on T8 XC90 |

FYI for you folks with T8s - there's a known issue with key programming where the SRS system causes radio interference that makes it impossible to program new keys. I banged my head against the wall for quite some time being unable to program keys until some kind soul on Swedespeed pointed me in the direction of the following TJ:

Once the fuses in question were removed, the keys programmed easily. I hope this helps someone struggling with this like I did.

I imagine this might be a bit of a niche case, but here goes.
New Zealand takes a lot of second-hand Japanese imports, they're cheap(ish), well maintained for the most part, and allow access to models not available domestically.
I have a 2018 V90 Cross Country that is fairly well loaded with options - which is nice - but some of the features are locked to Japanese settings.
I was successfully able to change language settings with Orbit more than was possible from the menu options.
Also I was able to change the radio frequency range over to the right settings for New Zealand, and disable the TV tuner from appearing in the infotainment system (it doesn't work outside of Japan anyway)
I have been unable to turn off the Electronic Toll Card hardware. I thought option 205: DSRC unit would control this, but setting it to 01 Without, or 03 DSRC unit without ETC card reader did nothing. Every engine start plays a message familiar to owners of Japanese cars in NZ; "No ETC card is inserted".
I was also unable to get the wireless connection working - tried all combinations of 2.4ghz and 5ghz, but no success. Using another ODB software suggested that perhaps the whole wireless unit was dead, but I'm not sure. Oddly I was also unable to disable the AM radio.
The biggest issue remaining for me is getting the navigation system working in NZ, thinking that a GPS is a GPS is a GPS. However I can't see any obvious settings to change that region. I can turn it on and off via option 190, or 223, but without the wireless working even the internet map doesn't work. Reading many forums would suggest is that the GPS hardware for Japanese models is unique, but I don't know much beyond that.
Additionally when using Apple Carplay for navigation - which is fine, though I'd love to get the directions in the driver display - my GPS positioning is slightly off, which I am blaming on the Japan GPS hardware, and this messes up routing. Reading forums on Volvo GPS issues has troubleshooting tips that I have tried - including setting the clock via GPS (clock now set to Japan time) and resetting the IHU via battery disconnect. Neither has fixed this.
Summarising, will I need to buy replacement hardware to have working 'Sensus' Navigation in NZ, and is that hardware something Orbit can help configure?
My last resort now is one of those Android AI boxes that provide android and wireless carplay as they have integrated GPS in them.
Also, I'll be happy to provide ROW settings for some of the queries on park assist, lighting, cruise control if any one is interested.

Looking to replace textile seats for some leather ones. Today the seats are heated and manual. It’s quite hard to find manual leather seats. Are electric seats plug n play? Is it any problem to program these to the car at the dealer? Car is an XC40.

| Parking Camera Calibration |

I’m looking for some guidance on using the Parking Camera calibration feature in OrBit. I tried this on my XC40 Recharge (MY 2023) because I felt the cameras were badly calibrated to start with. But running through the calibration process made things a bit worse. So I performed the “Learning” process, and the result is yet a bit worse. Wondering if anyone else has tried this feature on their XC40?
Here are some details:
- From what I could understand, you first collect data by starting the monitoring process, then drive a straight as possible for “a while”. The system tells you if it’s collected enough data.
- Once you are done, you first stop the car, and you may actually have to turn it off entirely, otherwise OrBit will tell you the car is active and cannot perform any calibration.
- Calibration is used to tune cameras that had already been calibrated in the past.
- Learning is used to tune new cameras, or from what I understand, to re-initiate the calibration from scratch.
I’m not sure if I’m doing this right, but as mentioned before, the results on my XC40 were worse than what I had before, and I don’t think there’s any way to go back to factory settings. Any help would be appreciated at this point!
