So an update..... my cable arrived today. I installed Orbit on my Windows laptop and copied in the CEM and VGM codes supplied yesterday via email.
The car connected right away (through my USB-C port replicator) so woohoo!
After retrieving the initial profile, the engine oil display still showed instead of my BEV (Polestar 2) SOC value. I pushed on nonetheless and the initial config programming failed complaining that the VGM wasn't accepted.
I disconnected and restarted the Orbit app. This time the profile applied properly and just to be safe, I re-copied the VGM from the email into the appropriate field in Orbit.
This time, all worked as expected. My goal was to get the Pixel headlights on my '21 P2 activated, and I thought I'd try the setting to keep them on between car cycles, too.
I got config setting 109 set to "06..." but was a tad perplexed that setting 106 wasn't present. Then I changed the list filter to "Show all settings" and there it was ;-).
I don't know if either worked yet as it's daytime, but there were no errors so we'll see. No error codes on the dash that I can tell, either. Here's crossing fingers that 1) the settings worked and my Pixels are now on persistently and 2) no errors due to the config changes.
BTW, to address the question in the prior post - I was referring to settings like the car's OPD mode, steering wheel "weight", door locking setting, etc... anything that is a driver's preference set in the car on the touchscreen that isn't set by Orbit.
The way I'm looking at it, and I could be wrong, is that there is a set of configuration changes that the driver can make in the car through the car's touchscreen without Orbit - I'll call these User Settings, and then a set of configuration changes that can only be changed via Orbit (and similar) via the Windows app - I'll call these Advanced Settings. What I was asking is whether the "Revert to OEM" command within Orbit will set both the User Settings /and/ the Advanced Settings back to factory defaults. Thus, even if I don't make a single Advanced Setting change within Orbit, doing the "Revert to OEM" within Orbit will essentially nuke all of my User Settings back to their factory defaults and I'll have to set everything back up in the car as if I just bought it.
