Polestar/Volvo F*$@ed us over
#1
Polestar 2 as of version 3.6.4 ignores config changes
I just did the upgrade in hope to get usable bluetooth, physical buttons and steering assit...
Now I can chnge config to my heart's content, it has 0 effect on avialiable functions. 
bye bye adaptuve cruise control...
i guess they didn't put it in 5k "upgrade" pack to let some clever shmut get it for $343-ish Orbit did cost me with pin unlocks and cable....

not a happy bunny Angry
not only car runs on jokeware that makes windows Vista look like nuclear facility grade stability wise....now i can't even turn my prefered options on and off.
f*$@ck them , my first and last car from volvo/polestar, should've gone with KIA again !!! better build, better progrmmed and cheaper too!

I see you posted this yesterday, so I'm going to ask: having left the vehicle locked for some time, whether the above is still applicable. I suspect you may have been hasty here.

I have tried again today, car was locked and for 8h. Did OEM reset before commute to work, locked it for 4h, tried turning ACC on during lunch break. This time changing single option, not using config wizard.
Still no joy.
I may try factory reset and starting from scratch...I need to calm down first.

Im pissed at polestar, it's software is utter crap, orbit is most user friendly workshop soft I used so far.

A quick update, about not so quick solution. Complete car reset to factory defaults by:
1 restore to oem in Orbit
2 reset car from in-car sytem settings

then setting everything up again solved the problem of enabling paywalled option(s).

So in effect, you did what OrBit recommends you to do. Reset the car to OEM before flashing the new OTA (the new version of OrBit allows doing that). And restore your settings from OrBit after the car is flashed to the new OTA. 

That's what I have always been doing (bar one instance) and had always worked like a charm
