OrBit Beta v0.9.7 release notes - Power6 - 01-13-2024
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

FYI, on top of running as administrator, you must disable/pause your antivirus. I had eset running and it threw an error.
