Hi OrBiters!
I recently purchased and physically installed a "Hidden Hitch" with light control module on my 2018 V90CC so I could use a bike rack with a multi-function light bar as well as tow our kayak trailer that needs its lights operated to be compliant. It's not the electronically controlled factory hitch, it's manually operated, but the one I got does have the 2" receiver I needed vs the smaller 1-1/4" one that comes with the factory unit. Anyway, the hitch came with a Volvo control module that is supposedly "compatible" with my car (though the PN came up as the one for a P3??). The instructions say the car needs to be "told" the control module is there to have the trailer lights work correctly and to not freak out and think I'm backing into a wall every time I throw the car in Reverse, LoL. I've looked through and "searched" the OrBit (and SwedeSpeed) forums but am not seeing if this is something I can turn on myself via the OrBit Settings list, or is it a dealer only update that needs to happen? Anyone know, and if so what OrBit ID or IDs should I be looking at?
When researching OrBit I also came across a post that said you can use OrBit to turn on the car's "PoleStar" mode instead of its current "Dynamic" mode. Anyone know if that's true and if so what the ID or IDs are for that change?
Lastly, the following was unclear to me. Do I just need the $100/yr subscription and OrBit will allow me to retrieve the CEM PIN via the Expert Toolbox functions? Or for the 1st year do I still need the "Retrieve CEM" subscription for the Expert Toolbox function to be activated so I can get the needed CEM PIN?
Thanks for helping me get started with OrBit!
PS: Is there a list or spreadsheet of OrBit IDs and what options are available under each ID posted somewhere?
