I hope you are well.

I would like to introduce myself as a new member of the community. I recently joined and I’m glad to be part of the group.

I currently own a Volvo XC60 Sensus (2018, D4), and I am considering purchasing Orbit for my vehicle. I have a couple of questions before I proceed:

  1. I would like to activate Android Auto, but my vehicle has just one USB port and I don’t currently have wired Android Auto.
    • Is it possible to use Android Auto with this setup?
  2. Can Orbit work via Bluetooth, or would it require a cable connection?
  3. I also have an OBD connector such as vLinker FD+—would Orbit work through this type of OBD interface to enable Android Auto or any related features?
I would appreciate any guidance, feedback, or recommendations you may have regarding compatibility, required accessories, or user experience with this configuration.

Thank you in advance for your support, and I look forward to your insights.

Best regards,

1. Single USB port is absolutely fine ?? I've run it this way for 3 years. 
2. Only tethered Android Auto or Apple Car Play - need USB cable. 
3. Cable only again - requires DoIP. Any BMW enet adapter will work. Can be found on likes of Amazon for $10. You do not need a specific Volvo adapter, anyone who tells you that you do is trying to sell you something Wink

thank you so much for you reply.
Glad to hear the configuration process is straightforward and safe. I’m going to take a look at the options and get the car configured over the next few days. Looking forward to getting it sorted!
