Drive Mode and Steering Personalization without Switch

[jontyb]

Hi

It definitely is odd.

So if I set:

057 With Glass button 
337 No Lin
452 No Drive Mode knob/switch

then I lose ECO and HDC and dont get the personalisation

If  I set 

057 With Drive mode 
337 No Lin
452 No Drive Mode knob/switch

Then I still lose ECO and HDC, but get the Individual modes

BUT.  twice I have had the Drive mode selection randomly pop up, when in the individual settings, long enough to select individual, but then it is gone.

Thinking I will get the physical button and live with the pain of getting it installed.

Unless anyone with and XC90 Sensus has an orb file with the settings

---

Is anyone with an XC90 who activated this without having the hardware button?

I didn't activate this feature, but I have an XC90 with the individual profile and Polestar optimization as part of the original spec configuration. No hardware button here either. Let me know if you want me to pull any of my config options and their respective values to compare.

Hi

If you did have the settings or an orb file to look at that would be great - in this thread I have spoken about the drive modes randomly popping up after flashing, but no button.  Which sort of implies it should work.

I did wonder if it is the button position - ie is there something else in the way.  I have aligned all my buttons, but dont know where this one would appear by default

thanks

Hi

Ok so, the Drive Mode switch on an XC90 - as opposed to a V/s90.

I tried every option but could not get the button to show on the screen.

It does enable the settings in the profile - ECO/Dynamic etc, but they do nothing as  the "individual" mode needs to be selected.

In the end I gave up and bought a Start/Stop with the knob.

It took two attempts to fit - gave up the first one after hours.  It is different to a V90 as the centre console is taller and there are some air ducts underneath.

I meant to take photos, but....

1. All Side panels off - the upper rear have screws front and back - you need to detach the rear section with the cigarette lighter to get at those
   
2. rear Air vents off - and (if rear a/c) then the control panel
   
3. there are screws underneath
   
4. four bolts - two at the back and two at the front that hold the alloy chassis in place
   
5. front section with the volume knob - pops out - disconnect
   
6. Two screws either side of the main to part just under the volume knob section
   
7. screws, screws, screws.  underneath the trim there are loads - you can either do this from underneath - which is not that bad or wait until you have turned it over.  When these screws are out you can, almost, remove the top trim.
   
8. You need to remove the centre storage cover - pop off the trim and 4 screws - nice touch it has clips to keep in in place.
   
9. there are 3 screws at the front - one on the 'cushioned' trim and two either side - this is under the volume section.
   
10. there is one connector in the space behind the Volume section - this i pulled with no issue
    
11. There are some clips towards the rear - then the whole section comes off
    
12. Now you will see 5 screws that hold the trim with the drive mode button - at this point you could almost be done if they just had two clips instead of screws - but these must be accessed from below. 
    
13. Gear linkage off - this is easier than you think - the yellow connector pops off, then, when you have detached the whole thing it slides out
    
14. You DONT have to disconnect the two electrical connectors at the front - just pop them off you mounts - this is handy as i was thinking of having to disconnect the battery which would then make it really awkward as the seats need to be moved a lot!
    
15. Now you need to get the drivers seat as low and far back as possible and completely flatten it.  Put something on the seat to protect it
    
16. You now will be able to lift up the whole console and be able to rest it sort of sideways on with the underneath facing tghe passenger side (move this seat as far back as possible - making sure not to crush all the bits of trim in the process)
    
17. There is a black air duct that runs front to back - this has two screws keeping it in place - bit awkward to get back in so careful!
    
18. remove those and then you will be able to get to the two screws that keep the rest of the drive mode trim in place
    
19. once off - 5 easy screws and swap.
    
20. Test it works before putting it all back together - hopefully without screws left over (i managed just!)  Bear in mind there are 3 different lengths of "standard" screws and 4 x 8mm bolts and various bigger screws.
    

Once all back together, time to program.

I was a little disappointed, as initially the menu showed just as it did before - ie around 1 minute after the car started and  then briefly, although the scroll worked

However, I changed the settings to:

1. 057 02 - with drive mode switch
   
2. 337 01 - without LIN communication
   
3. 452 02 - with drive mode knob/switch/regulator(display)
   

All good - and so much better with it.

You do "lose" the ECO and HDC on screen buttons - but that is because they are replaced by the knob.

So far I have:

• activated ACC and PA
  
• Enabled Android auto (with single USB hub) -- although i have just got (brand new and boxed for £19.99) a dual hub
  
• Enabled steering personalisation
  
• changed the Heated seat calibration (just wasn't getting hot enough quick enough)
  
• Enabled seat massage - this does a little gentle thing - low down  - i realised it would be new seats to make to work properly
  
• Memory on the Start/Stop
  

This is on a 2016 XC90 Inscription - no Air Suspension (big regret there).
