Hi all,
I am wondering what are the common practices of official Volvo dealerships when taking the car in for service?
I've read a lot of contradicting info online, with some stating it's no problem whatsoever, that a technician really has to dig into the configuration of the car to find the governor speed has been changed, while others stating that it's an instant void of all warranties and denial of any service. Both sides sound a bit apsurd honestly, so I am looking for anyone with concrete experiences with this and a definitive answer.
Secondly, if you really need to reset the configuration to OEM every time before a service, it's not really "You could drive a new Volvo for $50,000. For $100, you can own it.", because if you plan to keep your Volvo for more than a year, you need to pay the $100 PER YEAR*. I have not yet purchased OrBit, so is there some way to switch between OEM and your desired configuration even after the subscription ends?
