Where/how is the OEM configuration stored?

Thanks for the clarification Andrew. My rationale for the SW change is that I do a lot of mixed highway driving and I’d like to be able to use Polestar mode for that (full power available, tachometer display, doesn’t favor full electric like hybrid mode), but the Polestar shift points are too high to make it practical. I tried a regular S60 T8 and Power mode is much better in that regard. The car has so much low end torque with the electric assist that short shifts aren’t an issue. 

Apparently it’s a moot point anyway as Volvo won’t do it. They tell me it’s because there are physical engine differences that prevent it. Sounds like BS to me but that’s what the regional tech rep says.
