  Polestar 2 power tuning/change
Posted by: Sasquatch - 09-10-2024, 01:54 PM - Forum: Engine / Transmission - Replies (5)

I'm buying Polestar 2, settled on long range single motor. But I wonder what can be done using orbit.

Main options I'm interested in:
Power increase
ACC enable on plus model

I think ACC  is software enable only
Power change, I can't find any info, so probably not

  Polestar Digital Key issues
Posted by: jeffreyk - 09-09-2024, 04:22 AM - Forum: Retrofitting - No Replies

Hi:

Just got a new-to-me 2021 Polestar 2.  I only got 2 of the three keys when I got the car.  I used Orbit to delete 3 keys and re-program the 2 keys that I actually had with the car.  Those work great.

I now want to program the digital key pair with my Iphone. (14 Pro).

I download the app and it pairs.

However it says "Installing digital key, may take up to 2 min" on my phone with the little radar animation but then is stuck there forever.  I wait like 5-7 min 4 times with no luck.

The app works.  I can, via the app unlock the doors and adjust settings.

I cannot use it to unlock the doors via touch nor drive the car, like it did when I had a "guest" pairing of the phone before I did the key deletion/addition.  

I used an admin profile.  I created another admin profile and tried that.

I have reset the T-Cam, did a reset of the infotainment tablet.  I have removed the app and reset my iphone and tried again with no progress.  I tried my wife's phone - no luck.

I tried disabling the wifi and bluetooth on the car and my phone.   I tried enabling just the bluetooth.

My app is up to date, my OS is up to date.  The car is software 3.2.4.

One thing I did notice is the car connects with "Accessory" bluetooth connection not "PS2" like it used to.  Is this new?  This is in addition to the "Polestar PS2" that the infotainment connects with.

Any thoughts?  Did I mess up the Digital key thing with the Orbit delete/add?  Can Orbit "see" or re-program the digital keys?

Thank in advance
Jeff

  mechanical gear lever to electronic gear lever
Posted by: michel - 09-09-2024, 03:48 AM - Forum: Engine / Transmission - Replies (6)

Hi guys 
I have an idea to try changing the mechanical gear lever to an electronic gear lever through orbit。I tried, but failed. I will send you the process. If you are interested, we can discuss it.

I tested T8's EGSM and TACM on my V90cc, it was not work. So we took a XC40 T4 who has a shift electonique, and  used XC40's EGSM and TACM
as a comparison, give the result as follows:

On v90cc (GSM Original)   with 039 shift by wire type 2

      Scenario 1     T8's EGSM     *  T8's TACM        NO WORK
      Scenario 2     xc40's EGSM  *  T8's TACM        NO WORK
      Scenario 3     xc40's EGSM  *  XC40's TACM    NO WORK (the screen shows that low shift performance)


The screen always shows that the gear is not in P gear. That is to say, I have been unable to recognize the gear position (in fact, the gear position is actually P gear), Like the picture
At the same time, I can also start and stop the engine.


On XC40 (EGSM Original) with 039 shift by wire type 2 original

      Scenario 1     T8's EGSM     *  xc40's TACM     NO WORK
      Scenario 2     xc40's EGSM  *  T8's TACM        WORK
The above are our comparative experiments and results. Next, I will present our theory. As shown in the figure 1 & figure 2


We chose the XC40 with EGSM original mode because they are all T series and AWD22 series gearboxes, so we believe that this is a mature hardware solution that matches the v90cc.
We connected as shown in the following diagram.

  Invalid Key error when first trying to program
Posted by: WunderWagen - 09-09-2024, 12:27 AM - Forum: OrBit Q&A - Ask your questions here! - Replies (1)

Hello everyone,

Tried using Orbit for the first time on my 2022.5 XC90 T8 Recharge and kept getting an error of Invalid Key error 0x35. 

The CEM Pin seemed to be accepted okay. Not sure next steps to fix this.

  Volvo V/S90 front seats retrofit/standalone. - Working solution!
Posted by: oleelstad - 09-08-2024, 03:48 PM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (65)

Hello. 

I bought some seats from a Volvo S90 2018 modell a few years ago and was looking for a solution to operate these standalone. Together with all the great minds on this forum we have a working solution. 

This post has been updated with the working and final solution which have been tested and shown to work. 

You should remove the airbag that is in the side of the seat to prevent any accidents from happening. 

This solution is only for adjustment control of the seat. 

Heat, memory, Vented seat etc is not a part of this. This is a completely seperate system (LINbus) which we have yet to be able to decode.

Note:
If you are thinking of testing this solution before putting it in the car it is important to have a PSU with a battery. If the Seat control module dips in voltage you can experience the seat to cycle on/off when running the adjustment functions. 

Hardware:
What you need for the posted solution is a Lilygo ESP32 485:
https://lilygo.cc/en-us/products/t-can485?

Here you can find a neat case for the Lilygo:
https://www.printables.com/model/1251631...an485-case

Then you download Arduino, just follow the guide on:
https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/T-CAN485

Start the program in the zipped file, verify and upload to the lilygo and you are ready to go. 

Wiring:
For seat control you only need 5 pins. 12V for Seat Control Module, 12V to battery saver, ground to ground, CAN high and low. (Remember to add a 120 ohm resistor on the lilygo).

  Polestar 3 & 4

As the Polestar 3 and 4 begin rolling out to customers, I'm curious to hear whether they'll be supported within OrBit.

  3.1.9 "near" IHU hang while flashing, had to manually reset IHU
Posted by: LtYoung - 09-06-2024, 04:48 PM - Forum: Bugs / Feedback - No Replies

Hey yall,

I know we're supposed to be out of the muddy waters that is flash failures causing IHU to be stuck since P/V 3.1.9. Yesterday when I tried to reflash my config after taking the car from the dealer (still on 3.1.9, I don't even think they hooked the car up to VIDA to begin with), my first attempt failed. 

1. Orbits goes to check programming ready on all ECUs (all lights out and IHU fan spinning at max)
2. Almost immediately everything came to life like a flash has ended, but the CSD stays off and IHU fan stuck at full.
3. Orbits reports flash not ready and aborted.
4. Tried flash again (IHU fan still max), failed ECU programming ready checks, aborted.
5. Manually sent a reset in the ECU tab to the IHU, the fans stopped spinning. A bit later CSD booted up.
6. Flashed again and things went as normal.

Could be just a glitch for god knows what, but I have been kind of nervous since the 3.0.3 roller coaster. Figured it's useful to let everyone know try the reset command on the IHU if this happens to you.

  2024 S60 T8 Recharge and Orbit
Posted by: Ronin575 - 09-06-2024, 04:18 PM - Forum: Safety - Replies (2)

I have recently taken delivery of a S60 T8 Recharge, and I would like to activate the ACC as my vehicle has standard CC and therefore I assume the necessary spec to support ACC.

Has anyone else successfully achieved this using Orbit without any error codes being thrown- and if so has anyone run foul of a Volvo dealer detecting the change?

What is a "secret key" in Volvo's world?

This is in the list of items in the CEM seen in the ECU tools tab.
