  Request to make OrBit field windows resizable
Posted by: quattro4awd - 09-14-2023, 08:18 PM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - Replies (4)

First off I would like to express my Thanks to all individuals involved in getting OrBit up and functional. without this software I would be pretty much SOL on being able to implement the modifications that I would like to add to the S60. It appears that the majority of the modifications I am trying/wanting to make for the S60 are "factory installed options" and not considered "accessories" which means that software like OrBit is necessary to implement their functionality (because it is obvious that Volvo is not a willing participant in helping individual vehicle owners implement such modifications even if all the necessary parts are sourced directly from a Volvo dealer). 

I have a few questions / requests that I hope can be implemented in a future build of OrBit. please see below.

1). would it be possible to make the fields inside the OrBit window resizable? (as you can see with certain line items in the configurator window - the descriptions are truncated and hovering above them with the mouse pointer does not pop an un-truncated visual description to help provide it's full details even when the OrBit window is maximized to full size)

2). the task progress window at the bottom is limited in what can be viewed at a glance, can this be made to be adjustable in size so that more lines are visible at one time without having to scroll through them all?

3). would it be possible to change font colors or some other type of indication in this progress window specifically for line items that have failed to be properly implemented?

[Image: AIL4fc8w1vZeHH1cU8LqjGA6ZDODQXAyiFW3rk6_...authuser=0] 

Thanks again, I do appreciate all your effort in bringing this useful tool to fruition and making it available to the masses.

  Tailgate switch
Posted by: Duffy - 09-14-2023, 01:21 PM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (4)

Hello everyone,

is it possible to activate the switch even if you don't have keyless entry? It annoys me because I only have the left button and that I have to lock the car with the remote control after closing it.

Thank you

  Meaning of CEM settings - Orbit list
Posted by: CarstenStange - 09-13-2023, 04:06 PM - Forum: Misc - No Replies

Hello Power6 and everyone else.

Can someone explain to me what function is behind the following CEM settings (Orbit list codes)?
                     SAFETY COACH 213
                     STOP IN SPEED VELOCITY 044
                     DSRC UNIT 205
                     RUNNINGBOARD, ACCESSORIES 213

At the moment i use 18 cem changes, some with hardware modification (Subwoofer, B&W, CompactDisc, Remote Start, central lock switch rear doors... for example). 
My car is a 2017 D5 Inscription. The changes works fine, also with functions that were not available in the model year, such as the curve speed assist. 
I try to find out more, what the software and the car can. There were a few errors when trying  to find out what work or not :-)

THANK YOU MUCH POWER6 FOR THE GOOD WORK AND THE SOFTWAR

  V90 D5 to V90CC Warning!
Posted by: CarstenStange - 09-09-2023, 12:50 PM - Forum: Misc - No Replies

Hello! I've already retrofitted some elements in my V90 and activated them first with Vdash (subwoofer, B&W) and now with Orbit (switch behind doors, video in motion and much more). I wanted to activate the off-road mode and HDC from the V90CC in my V90 D5. But that doesn't work. You can only activate the off-road mode if you change the vehicle from V90 to V90CC. Then you can select the off-road mode. However, this results in errors in the following systems:
Engine control (turtle shown), transmission, brake and all door control units. The problem and danger with this is that the vehicle could no longer be restored to its previous state with orbit, no connection could be established with the vehicle when it was tried. Not even after restarting, etc.
I was able to delete the error code information with Bosch Esi-Tronic and then program the vehicle back to a normal V90 with Orbit without changing the ignition. On the one hand, I wanted to warn before someone try to do it and ask if anyone has found another way to activate the off-road mode? It seems to be only released in the V90CC profile. My V90 has the drive-mode switch. Thank you very much and best regards

  Turn off radar calibration?
Posted by: HitTheRoadJack - 09-09-2023, 02:17 AM - Forum: Safety - Replies (3)

So I’m quite sure the radar is working and the Volvo shop ran the radar calibration as part of the service after replacing the windshield - now the radar calibration won’t complete!
Can I use Orbit to turn off the radar calibration?

  Direct device diagnostics
Posted by: Wevie - 09-08-2023, 06:35 PM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - Replies (2)

Hi all,

After years of experience in mostly German vehicles I recently started working on recent Volvo and Polestar vehicles. 

When I was working on specific vehicles in the past I was using a generic gateway from a donor vehicle, which allowed me to connect ECU's to (at the correct CAN Bus etc.) to do diagnostics on that ECU on my bench outside its host vehicle.

Would Orbit (and Volvo/Polestar) allow a similar setup? I.e. Can I use a donor VGM to connect to a different ECU like a IHU4?

Or is the pincode mechanism etc completely failing that way?

  Polestar Engineered for my 2018 XC90 T6
Posted by: Gan9LLL - 09-03-2023, 07:02 PM - Forum: Engine / Transmission - Replies (7)

Hi guys, I have a big doubt that both me and my brother own 2018 XC90 T6 and he subscribed to orbit and made modifications on polestar. When he did the modification I saw the following options: polestar optimisation, polestar engineered edition, polestar engineered car and polestar car. My brother chose "polestar optimisation", I don't know if this is the option that adds the most power to the engine. Also I am going to subscribe to Orbit and modify it as well, however I have seen people say that for the T6 engine, polestar on Orbit does not add HORSEPOWER, it only changes the shifting of the gearbox. If I want to add hp to the T6 I need to go to a dealer and swipe in the official polestar software. Is this true?

  025 Seat Heat Calibration
Posted by: Pau1ey - 09-02-2023, 03:42 AM - Forum: Misc - Replies (14)

Has anyone tried the 10 options yet? My 2019 XC90 has "06 Heat calibration 6" selected as the default. I'm curious snice they don't get hot enough for me. I'd also love to be able to have just the back heated and not the cushion. I saw an option of cushion or cushion and back under another config but nothing about back only. It's still too warm here in Atlanta to really test them and notice any differences.

Sad 2017 v90 - Stock IHU software
Posted by: ChrisO - 09-01-2023, 10:22 PM - Forum: Audio / Visual - Replies (6)

Hi guys! 

I have a issue with the sensus system.
It refuses to show the internet globe, doesnt matter if I try to connect using simcard, wifi hotspot or bluetooth hotspot. 

Read that some got Volvo to reflash the IHU or some databox for it. 

Possible to do using Orbit and does anyone got the software or is there any other way of getting the cars internet connection to work? 

FYI I cant download any apps etc. on the car.
