Big Grin SW MINOR VERSION
Posted by: jasonatepaint - 06-15-2023, 03:10 AM - Forum: Misc - Replies (3)

I recently upgraded the Volvo 2.9 OTA upgrade (from 2.7).  After that upgrade succeeded, all of the configuration changes made (via orbit) were reverted/set in the 2.9 update. Not a problem, I had saved my configuration settings.  

However, once loaded and I was about to push the changes, there was another setting that is tied to the software's minor version:

Code:
Setting: SW MINOR VERSION
Current: 09 Minor Version 9
New: 07 Minor Version 7


I canceled the programming since it didn't seem like a good idea. [Image: biggrin.png]  It seems that setting is part of the saved orbit settings file; the file is not text-readable and it doesn't show in the U/I, so there was no way to fix this. I reloaded the settings from the car and then set each setting manually. 

I wasn't sure if this was a bug or expected, so I figured I'd start here.

Thanks!

Question Seat belt reminder deactivation?
Posted by: traveler - 06-14-2023, 10:23 AM - Forum: Safety - Replies (15)

Hello,

hope i post in right subforum, my q is as subject says, how to disable seat belt reminder, i know most of you will ask why i do that, but simple i'm tired of saying every co-passenger "please use seat belt, to avoid audio warning" , as some of co-passengers don't like use seat belt, even i use it always, that's why need it?

So, is there any way to disable only passenger seat belt warning sound, i saw some ids in .xls file for config options, that can be disabled first row or second row, but didn't see option like at VAG cars for ex. where is possible disable driver seat belt reminder only or passenger seat belt reminder only?

And what's difference this config USA , EU seat belt reminder?

Thanks!

  OrBit Beta v0.5.3 release notes
Posted by: Power6 - 06-13-2023, 07:17 PM - Forum: Releases - No Replies

NOTE: When you start to use OrBit v0.5.3, you will find connecting to cars you already have a "profile" stored for, will prompt you to update the profile. You should do that. But you can cancel it if you are in a hurry, OrBit will ask you to update the profile each time you connect the car, until you do. It won't cause any problems for now to cancel it until it is more convenient time to update the profile. Additional information on ECUs installed software parts is added to the profile, for future use of new and exciting features ;-)

v0.5.3 has been released. This is a major update for a lot of things people don't get excited about, like stability and security improvements. But also there are some new features. This one got too big and took too long, but I think the important notes are below ;-)

New features:

  • Cached login - Yes finally you don't have to get a code every time ;-) As long as you log in successfully with a code, OrBit will now let you log in with the same cached user up to 20 times on the same day. For most that means you only need to authenticate one a day.
  • Changed Items filter on config table - A new checkbox on the config table allows you to filter only changed items. This is useful before you write a config, you can check all the items that are changed from the current config (and highlighted, now with more yellow!). Useful to review or modify the config before you start the "Write to car" process. When the "changed items" filter is checked, "show everything" checkbox is disabled, as the "changed items" filter will always show all current modified items.
  • Config Presets - A new way to "save" and "load" settings is introduced, as the current settings files are limited, they are specific to the car so you can't share them, and they can be confusing to load and get unintentional changes as the state of the car changes (Dealer visits, software updates, accessory installs). OrBit now allows you to save a "presets" file of the settings you change, from the confirmation window when you write a config to the car. The presets file *only* contains the settings you change, in a text file that you can save, and edit at any time. The format is pretty simple to follow. You can make your own files of settings, or share them with others, use them however you like. The "Load Settings" button in OrBit will load both the old settings saved file, or the new presets file format. I will make further guide on this either in a forum post or a video, to explain the use.
  • Built-in Config Presets - The configurator tab now has a "Config Presets" button. You can click this to bring up a dialog to choose from various presets, to apply to the config table. Applying them changes only the config table, it does not write them to the car. This is intended to be a helpful tool for the "config changes" that require multiple individual items to be changed. For example TPMS system and Pilot Assist settings. These have been confusing for folks, or they need to find the information on each setting to change. The presets have been built to be extensible, they can be updated outside of OrBit application itself. There are only a few items there to start, but will be expanded over time. I hope to make some sensible presets for Pilot Assist, which requires some research to be done, so look for that in the future.
  • (For advanced users) Headlamp HCM Config string write  - When you flash software via ECU Tools tab, to an HCM, OrBit will prompt and ask if you want to write the HCM config string. OrBit takes the inputs from the headlamp sticker, to learn the headlamp adjustments to the HCM. This also includes, via the config string, the ability to correct the "side" on an HCM i.e. change the used HCML to and HCMR and vice versa. Various improvements were made to support flashing HCMs successfully, they are now supported.


Fixes and Improvements:
  • OrBit is updated to better handle slow back-end access or outage, on startup
  • OrBit updated to handle "SA 11" security access PIN properly, when reading secure DIDs and future key fob learning functions.
  • DID Results with Volvo part numbers in them, now display correctly (ex; "32345656 AA")
  • Improvements in flashing software to ECUs that OrBit supports
  • Improvements in "backup ECU" process. Where the data block is longer than the possible maximum chunks of data from the ECU, OrBit will submit multiple requests together and back up any size data block that is possible to upload from the ECU.
  • Too many bugs fix or stability improvements made to detail. Basically Orbit deals with weird situations better like CEM not responding, unable to read car config, or other strange situation etc.
  • TPMS display corrected and marked with proper locations (FL, FR, RL, RR) of the sensors
  • Bug fix for earlier bug fix - "SW Version" items are not loaded into the config table with saved settings, as they are not written to the car, to preserve the system version written by Volvo through OTA updates and Total Upgrade.

Known Issues:
  • There are a number of new "disabled" service page buttons, for future features. These will be added with time ;-)

  Video in Motion possible forPolestar 2?
Posted by: Sodertalje - 06-13-2023, 02:33 PM - Forum: Misc - Replies (10)

Hi,
I know Polestar used a different approach to disable Video in Motion for Polestar 2. Is there a way to work around this with Orbit and get Video in Motion working?

  Over the air Volvo update 2.9
Posted by: tyrion70 - 06-13-2023, 08:49 AM - Forum: Service Functions - Replies (3)

I made some changes with Orbit a while back and now my car installed update 2.9 (EU) I didn't really think about this before but after this upgrade at least some of my settings were reverted (noticably the speed limit).

Now my question is:
- is it actually safe to run the over-the-air updates on the Volvo car if you changed settings with Orbit? Or should you always revert back to defaults before doing so?
- Do these over-the-air updates actually revert back everything to default settings always? IE if I take my car to the shop now, do I still need to restore any settings to default? 
- Is it even safe to restore to a saved default after a Volvo update since things might have changed in those settings by Volvo itself?

  Glass Drive Mode CSD Button in AAOS Recharge
Posted by: smallfish - 06-04-2023, 09:03 PM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (3)

Has anyone tried to install the CSD from a XC40 with the ‘Drive Mode’ glass button on the far right into a AAOS Xc60/90? I‘ve ordered one and is on its way, I’m more hopeful this will work since it is still equipped this way in the latest xc40s.

Does anyone know whether the CSD button commands are sent using LIN or CANBUS?

  Seats are ventilated and fitted
Posted by: iamyxy - 05-31-2023, 01:39 AM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (1)

1. You need to use OrBit to change vehicle configuration.

2. Remove the seat cover and spring cushion. The seat cover needs to be punched and then restored.

3. Install hardware and wiring harness.

  Breakdown/emergency service from Volvo no access to orbit
Posted by: Dodd - 05-28-2023, 12:34 AM - Forum: Misc - Replies (13)

I am strongly considering purchasing orbit. Seems like much to explore and experiment with. My only concern is that if you need emergency service from Volvo with no access to Orbit you may have issues with them. Is this correct? Would I have to find a way to change config back to OEM before being towed to a Volvo dealer? Don't mean to play devil's advocate but I do have a 10 yr extended warranty. Don't want to run afoul of Volvo just yet as they will be doing most all repair work. Looking forward to experimenting with Orbit but looking for some sort of assurance also. Thanks.
