Where/how is the OEM configuration stored?

I don’t know yet if they can or will do this, but I’m going to see if my dealer will remove the factory Polestar tune from my Polestar Engineered car. I’ve already tried changing 374 to “Without Polestar” and that didn’t work. Thanks!


I guess I missed this one a while ago. The short answer is don't worry OrBit handles things. 

The slightly longer answer: If something is changed on the car "officially" such as install or uninstall an accessory, the build equipment of the car is changed. That is done in a different place than OrBit makes config changes. Restore to OEM will reflect the correct config of the car, it always does. The only thing you need to be careful with is if you "load settings" to restore your modified configs after a dealer visit. You will see any configs that are affected by the changes made at the dealer. You'll just want to look for those rather than blindly accept the settings and write the config to the car. If you make any config changes manually there is no effect.

I'm struggling to figure out why one would remove the Polestar Engineered software, and if that is possible on a PE model, but anyways that install is more than just "config" there is ECM/TCM/DEM software depending on the drivetrain, a remove in VIDA would flash the appropriate "non-Polestar" software to the car.
