Default to active high beams? - A-P - 05-24-2023
Hi all,
Is there a way -- via Orbit or another -- to enable active high beams by default when the headlights are in the "auto" position?
In my North American MY23 XC40 Recharge, I need to twist the spring-loaded stalk switch each time I turn the car on.
I saw a YouTube video by Bjorn Nyland, where it seemed like this was possible in a European Polestar 2 (https://youtu.be/BlUZfGMqv_g?t=160). Notice the active high beam symbol is present on the dash when he re-enters the car.
Thanks!

Ah interesting - thanks for confirming. I did a deeper dive into the available config options via OrBit and nothing stood out to me. Curious if anyone else has ideas?

But I think that they covered this and its not possible to just change the config without HCM. But I might be wrong(05-25-2023, 03:55 AM)marinalin85 Wrote: German V60 here. Its always on for us

If you change to ROW the active beams will stay on from start to start. Mine is like that now.

Thanks all. Indeed 106 was the answer! I changed it from :
11, LED, type A, Pixel Headlamp with HCM
to
12, LED, type B, Pixel Headlamp with HCM
Now AHB remains on.
Seems the headlights are still functioning properly, though both HCML & HCMR are throwing DTC "U2300". I tried a hard reset of both modules and clearing the DTCs, but they re-appear. Anyone know what they mean? I tried checking VIDA but the Bookstore site is down right now.
Thanks,
AP

U2300 - communication error. Could be because it doesn't communicates properly with HCM due to having a different configuration. But if you say they shine the same then I'll wait to see if they go away on their own
RE: Default to active high beams? - A-P - 06-07-2023
Thanks - that's helpful. Just for others who may stumble upon this thread -- in spite of the U2300 error, I just verified the full functionality of the US-spec Pixel headlamps under the Type B (106 -> 12) setting above.
Specifically,
- Welcome / Goodbye pattern (or whatever that is called)
- Side reflector lights (the orange ones, which I don't think are present on the EU spec, but still work)
- Matrix functionality
- Auto leveling
- Beam steering
I couldn't really see a difference in the above vs. when 106 was set to Type A (11).
I'll check again if the DTC shows up tomorrow, but either way seems like it may be more informational in nature given the Type A/B hardware seems fairly similar.
Cheers,
AP

I was about to run ahead and change the HW from Type A to Type B but stopped as mine is a lease :-P

Lease or not, you won't break anything
just revert to OEM before dealer visits.
