  Developer mode for vehicles with Google built-in
Posted by: Cro - 01-15-2024, 02:51 PM - Forum: Misc - Replies (3)

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.

  Heated Windshield Wiper Blade
Posted by: Denis371 - 01-15-2024, 08:59 AM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (4)

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?

  Any way to change vehicle region/market?
Posted by: sivlmuse - 01-14-2024, 08:27 PM - Forum: Misc - No Replies

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?

  Tool for tracking config changes vs OEM
Posted by: sivlmuse - 01-14-2024, 07:41 PM - Forum: Misc - No Replies

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.

  OrBit Beta v0.9.7 release notes
Posted by: Power6 - 01-13-2024, 07:24 PM - Forum: Releases - Replies (1)

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!)

Fixes:
  • 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

  Speedometer

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?

  VOLVO ON CALL Subscription.
Posted by: IMAY2023 - 01-08-2024, 10:46 PM - Forum: Car Connectivity - Replies (16)

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.

  Bending high beams?
Posted by: Partridge - 01-08-2024, 01:50 AM - Forum: Lights - Replies (14)

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?
