Pre-Purchase Questions...

[twiki]

I own a 2021 Polestar 2 with Pixel lights and want to turn ‘em on.

I have ordered the needed cable to connect a Windows laptop to my car, and am waiting until it arrives before paying for my Orbit license (the $325 version).

While I’m waiting for the cable to arrive (should be a few days), I have a few questions:

1. Do I need to connect Orbit to my car (via cable) to have Orbit (the $325 license) get my needed PINs or can that be done by supplying my VIN separately?  If not, I guess I can pay for the license while waiting for my cable to arrive to save time…
   
2. How long does it take to get the two PINs?  Should I start this now while I wait the 2 days for the cable to arrive?
   
3. I understand the ability to Save and Load configurations, and also to restore to OEM before service visits and potentially before OTA updates to be safe.  But what about all of the settings made via the in-car options?  If I change settings in the car via the on-screen options, will those be reverted to defaults if I use Orbit to restore to OEM?   IOW, when I do a Save Configuration in Orbit, will it save those settings as well, or only if I use Orbit to make similar settings via Orbit?w days), I have a few questions.  BTW, I registered for the forums so I could post there, but apparently I’m not activated yet (email is confirmed though), so I figured I’d ask via em
