  Retrofit vs Orbit vs Dealership
Posted by: estorsky - 08-13-2023, 02:34 PM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (10)

Hello all,

I am considering to upgrade my Volvo with a few options. 
However, I am still connected to local dealership and I would not like to get my vehicle banned by Volvo.

Suppose I add something( 360 cam, BLIS, park pilot assist, whatever).
Obviously this is some hardware that needs to be added + software to be loaded (let's imagine I can do everything with Orbit).

The question is - when I want to go to a dealership, and I revert all the software back to factory settings via Orbit, what should happen with the hardware?
My guess is that there would be a lot of faults and error messages if some hardware is present while software is not.
So the dealer might see it and understand my Volvo is not quite factory set.

Does anybody have such an experience?

  Enable Pilot Assist while towing?
Posted by: tomasz - 08-09-2023, 10:33 PM - Forum: Misc - Replies (1)

Hey all, I searched through the master config codes and didn’t see anything that applied to this.

I just had the tow compute module added with a stealth hitch on my ‘18 XC60 for a bike rack that has lights. When plugging in the lights, the car thinks there’s a trailer attached and disables BLIS and Pilot Assist. Is there an option to have the lights work without disabling Pilot Assist?

Thanks!

  DAB Radio
Posted by: Duffy - 08-07-2023, 04:30 PM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (3)

Hello everyone,
Has anyone retrofitted DAB radio? Is it enough to buy the module used? if so which one is it? And does an antenna still need to be retrofitted?

  XC40 P8 EV Battery SOH
Posted by: pugger - 08-07-2023, 11:03 AM - Forum: Misc - Replies (19)

Just wanted to see if there are other XC40 P8 users here to compare notes on the Battery SOH numbers.

I have had my P8 for over a year and driven 25000km. The Battery SOH readout in orbit was 94.55%.

  2016 XC90 Carplay - No option in Orbit
Posted by: Thiefsie - 08-07-2023, 12:35 AM - Forum: Retrofitting - Replies (11)

Hey There,

I'm a new Volvo owner (2016 T6 XC90), and love to tinker, so after chasing my tail with Vida and finding it's impossible to access even with a bulletproof VPN (VIN approval needed regionally), I've purchased Orbit with a CEM unluck which has been great.

I've unlocked adaptive cruise which is nice (but haven't tested it on the road yet), enabled permanent memory on start/stop (again awesome), however I was really hoping to get Apple Carplay going.

Within Orbit - there appears to be no option to enable Carplay, which I understand should be:
"224 - 04 - With Carplay & Android Auto"
That variable is just missing from the config list.

As a bit of context, my XC90 is Australian and appears to be one of the earlier ones, without the mode settings (next to handbrake) and only the single USB port with AUX to the console glove box.

Does simply ordering the double USB enable the carplay option I'm looking for or is it a waste of money to do this? I don't want to go through the effort/cost of ordering the double USB (and AUX) parts to find out that Orbit is still unable to unlock Carplay.

Does anyone have any idea why the option above isn't appearing?

Thanks.

  Polestar 2 ACC & Pilot Assist
Posted by: sags95 - 08-06-2023, 11:02 PM - Forum: Safety - Replies (11)

Copied some settings that I found on another thread for the XC40 Recharge, since the Polestar 2 and XC40 Recharge have near identical software stacks and specs I figured the exact settings would also apply to the Polestar 2. 

I have a MY23 with no packs, so I applied the following settings and it's worked wonderfully for me after some testing.

023 Cruise Control: 04 Adaptive cruise control stop & go level 1
314 Adaptive Cruise Control Version: 02 ACC version 2
145 Traffic Jam Assist: 05 With Traffic Jam Assist, Level 4

  Do I need to lock the car and let it "sleep" after write config with OrBit?
Posted by: Power6 - 08-02-2023, 01:46 PM - Forum: OrBit FAQs - No Replies

Sometimes folks ask if they need to lock the car and leave it for a short time, until the screen "goes to sleep", after they flash a config change with OrBit. The short answer is no, you do not need to do that.

I think the need for this comes from using other software to change Volvo config. When you change configs in the car that change the menus or buttons that show up in the (Sensus/Android) center infotainment screen, the infotainment unit (the IHU) needs to read the config changes and apply them. When OrBit flashes the car, it always restarts the IHU in the post-programming step, just like VIDA does with every software flash. Changes to the Sensus/Android system menus and buttons reflecting a new config should take effect right away with the IHU restart. 

You should only need to do the "lock and sleep" for troubleshooting a config change where you don't see some expected menu, button, or display show up in the screens in the car. It is a good step to try leaving the car locked for a bit, before assuming that your config change did not work or is not compatible with the car.
