P2 Pixel activation in N/A

[marinalin85]

No issues really -- programming the car with OrBit is a relatively safe operation (the software runs a lot of checks before actually programming). You can poke around the forums here / SwedeSpeed to understand the details.
The only thing to really keep in mind is to "Restore to OEM" configuration before going to a dealer (there's a button in OrBit); Volvo currently does not block cars programmed with OrBit, but best to restore just to be safe.

Hello,

I wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that I recently installed and used Orbit over the weekend. I must say, the entire process went incredibly smoothly and was surprisingly easy. It was like magic seeing everything work flawlessly, and now I can finally enjoy the Pixel  lights just as they were intended to be.

I consistently run on High beam (Type B) and to my pleasant surprise, I didn't get flashed by other drivers even once.

I do have to mention that the most challenging and confusing part for me was the Diagnostic test in Vida, but that's a whole different story.

I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone who assisted me throughout this journey. Thank you all for your support!

Hello A-P, I'd like to understand something better. I recently activated pixel headlights (AHB3) using orbit (per recommendations in this forums, 106 set to value 12 (Type B) and 109 set to 06 AHB3. The active pixel functionality works, but it is very shy: it only turns on occasionally, and quickly turns off if there are lights, road signs, anything really. So although it seems to work beautifully, it rarely turns on.

Question: when you say you run on High beam (Type B), do you actually force high beam on, or do you let the auto high beam functionality turn it on when it judges that it is appropriate?

Corollary: can anyone suggest a (better) setting (than 106/12 and 109/06) that maximizes the use of the active pixel headlights?

If you "force" the High Beam, you'll loose the adaptive function. From what I remember from night drive reviews, this was one of the complains from that. It takes to long to activate but it does stay on a lot. Not that shy
