Hi OrBiters! 

I recently purchased and physically installed a "Hidden Hitch" with light control module on my 2018 V90CC so I could use a bike rack with a multi-function light bar as well as tow our kayak trailer that needs its lights operated to be compliant. It's not the electronically controlled factory hitch, it's manually operated, but the one I got does have the 2" receiver I needed vs the smaller 1-1/4" one that comes with the factory unit. Anyway, the hitch came with a Volvo control module that is supposedly "compatible" with my car (though the PN came up as the one for a P3??).  The instructions say the car needs to be "told" the control module is there to have the trailer lights work correctly and to not freak out and think I'm backing into a wall every time I throw the car in Reverse, LoL. I've looked through and "searched" the OrBit (and SwedeSpeed) forums but am not seeing if this is something I can turn on myself via the OrBit Settings list, or is it a dealer only update that needs to happen?  Anyone know, and if so what OrBit ID or IDs should I be looking at?

When researching OrBit I also came across a post that said you can use OrBit to turn on the car's "PoleStar" mode instead of its current "Dynamic" mode. Anyone know if that's true and if so what the ID or IDs are for that change?

Lastly, the following was unclear to me. Do I just need the $100/yr subscription and OrBit will allow me to retrieve the CEM PIN via the Expert Toolbox functions? Or for the 1st year do I still need the "Retrieve CEM" subscription for the Expert Toolbox function to be activated so I can get the needed CEM PIN? 

Thanks for helping me get started with OrBit!

PS: Is there a list or spreadsheet of OrBit IDs and what options are available under each ID posted somewhere?

Can OrBit enable this functionality? Would love to take a peek what hidden features are stored in the developer section of the infotainment system. On Android phones this mode is available but hidden and it's called Developer options.

Hello, I have seen in the configuration that there is an option to enable the heated wipers, if I would buy heated wipers how should I connect them and enable the option from the configuration.
Did someone managed to do this?

Due to some opaque restriction, the Volvo Developer API is not available for cars in the US market. Every API response with my VIN comes back as 404 "Does not belong to allowed markets". My hunch is that it's probably more complicated, but is anyone aware of a config setting that would change the "Market" associated with the vehicle?

Hi all. I recently bought a '24 XC60 (B5 plus variant, with some options) as my first Volvo and it didn't take long for curiosity to lead me here. I read a couple of posts about people wanting to track config changes, as did I, so I adapted BeachBoy's master list spreadsheet for this purpose and wanted to share for anyone interested. Column C is my OEM value from first Orbit connection. Column D is my current config setting, with a dropdown list of all config settings from the master spreadsheet. There's conditional formatting to highlight configs where C != D so you can easily see what changes you've made vs OEM.

Also thanks to user @lazy who developed this tool to decode .orb files allowing me to get plaintext OEM config.

0.9.7 is released. Mostly updated to improve ease of use and reliability

(Latest version of OrBit can always be downloaded here: https://app.spaycetech.com/orbitupdate/download)

New features:

• Installer updated. OrBit requires admin rights to install and is an "exe" file. The upside of this is the OrBit installer handles the firewall exception so you are not likely to ever have a problem connecting to the car because Windows Defender firewall is blocking the communications.
  
• OrBit detects when the car network is connected. You will see a message now "No car network detected" when you try to connect a car when no Volvo car network is actually connected. You will know to check your connections rather than wonder why you get a "timeout" from OrBit.
  
• Various improvements to speed and reliability. Very technical stuff but updated compiler and other low level packaging changes improve speed and reliability.
  
• DTC reading now defaults to "Confirmed" codes. This makes sense for the "default" option to read trouble codes, rather than the previous "Pending" codes. This is an interrim step as code reading will be upgraded soon to allow user control of the code status read from the car. (Note also: Although not part of the OrBit application, the database of ECU information OrBit uses has been updated massively with new ECU info including code descriptions. The incidence of "no description found..." for some codes should be drastically reduced!)
  

• Updated key programming to fix issue where the result from adding a key is "timeout error" but key is successfully programmed.
  
• ABS config clear has been adjusted once again for BCM2 cars. I think we got it right this time ;-)
  
• Updates made to "PIN Finder" to improve reliability and fix an issue of false return "no PIN info found" when PIN info is present.
  
• Various small bug fixes and changes for improved reliability of OrBit
  

I have a question for all of you knowledgeable people, my speedometer shows 5 km/h too little and I find that really annoying. Is there a way to calibrate it in OrBit?

Hi everybody, does someone know what kind of modem it's in a V90 CC year 2018? Is it 3G or 4G?

For those who would like to activate VOLVO On Call, 
There is a %10 discount at https://vip.steingoldvolvocars.com/ 
I just purchased yesterday night for $180 instead of $200 for a year and I can use the app. 
After the "Your order is completed" email, you may need to call VOLVO and get a new PIN if your complementary subscription has already ended. It takes less than 10 minutes.

Ok, quick question.

For those of you who have Adaptive High Beams from the factory, what is the default state of the high beams? Bending enabled or not bending?
