Polestar 2 ACC "Unavailable"

[superxpro12]

Recently bought a used 2022 Polestar with only Plus.

Got my CEM/VGM pins with no issue, and managed to enable Pixel Headlights.

I had to fuss with the VOE ethernet driver settings (particularly any driver settings having to do with green/energy savings) to fix some odd Write to Car issue, but I managed to figure it out with enough fussing.

However, when I went to use the Orbit preset to enable level 1 ACC/PA, I had a problem. After a successful Write to Car, the ACC/PA icons were now present in the IHU and the dash, but when I would attempt to engage ACC via the steering wheel, the dash would simply report "Unavailable".

After some tinkering, I discovered I had to set Adaptive Cruise Control Version 314 to "Version 2". This allowed me to successfully engage ACC. I street tested it with both follow and stop/go both performing as expected.

Since I had to change 314 to "Version 2", which is not the preset, I'm curious if anyone knows what the different versions are for?

Hey buddy, thank you for this. I had to check on the status of it, I was aware some cars need that item set with enabling PA/ACC. I confirmed it's included in the next update, OrBit will set this properly for the car that requires it.

I've had success with my MY2021 base spec (no Pilot) using the standard config preset with stop and go, awesome!

One thing not functioning is the stop and go with a car in front, I just come to a stop. But reading the Polestar manual I think this actually needs the creep mode to be enabled in the car (which I have off).

As an update to this the new config wizard is super cool and I tried "Level 2", pretty sure from a seat of the pants test that "Level 1" was better so reverted.

Also, the traffic assist needs a vehicle to follow, so if it slows you and the vehicle in front turns off, and nothing is in front of that, there is no "target" vehicle any more so it will disengage. So my bad, mis-understanding of the feature.

I had a good conversation with Andrew regarding the L1 vs L2, and it seems to be a market difference, so most likely differences that arise from regulation. One of the key things in China seems to be around "time off wheel". In fact, it's completely illegal to have any system that allows this, so even L3 systems being developed technically require hands on wheel and they just "flout" the rules a bit for how long they can do it. I think when I was on L2 it did feel a shorter time that the car allowed me to be hands off, and it was more sensitive to my hands being off/lighter on the wheel. Just anecdotal, but that's my theory!!
