Polestar Optimisation on XC60 2026

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 21:01:16 +0000

Hello, is it possible to do Polestar Optimisation on XC60 2026? Also, the car doesn't have Driving modes, so in that case will the Polestar be active all the time?

Remote start in Volvo Cars app stopped working

Thu, 20 Aug 2026 08:59:50 +0000

About a month ago remote start in Volvo Cars app stopped working.
When I click to remote start a car, spinner will appear and run for a long time.
Eventually it will fail without any error.

I've scanned for error codes, but there are none.
I've restarted VCM module using OrBit, nothing changed.
I've even changed SIM card.

Around the time this stopped working I've retrofitted alarm siren and interior alarm sensor (but I'm not sure if it's the exact same time this stopped working).

One thing I've noticed is that when I get into a car and start it, car doesn't have cellular reception.
It takes a minute for it to acquire it, as if modem was turned off while car was parked.

What could be the issue? What to try next?

Understanding orbit

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 13:04:52 +0000

I´ve retrofitted a rear parking cam on my v60 2021 SPA momentum adv.

Why is the dropdown list in 154 with black text? Normally all options are with white text? What does black text mean? Is it software or hardware related?

Also, what does it mean when a symbol i greyed out and without the grey bar on the left side in the sensus menu? What does the grey bar mean?

Please see my images.

Successful Retrofit: Auto-Dimming Mirror + Homelink + Compass

Sat, 15 Aug 2026 10:14:29 +0000

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my recent experience upgrading my interior rearview mirror and getting the Homelink system to work with my gate, in case anyone else is looking to do the same retrofit.
The Starting Point My car (V60 2020) originally came equipped with the standard manual-dimming interior mirror. Luckily, when I took it apart, I found that the wiring harness for the upgraded mirrors was already present and pre-wired from the factory.
Hardware & Software

New Part: I picked up an upgraded mirror with Auto-Dimming, Homelink, and Compass (Part # 32219072).
Coding: I used Orbit to update the car's configuration. I changed the mirror type to "Auto Dimm" and enabled Homelink using Homelink Setting 7.

The Homelink Pairing Struggle Getting the Homelink to actually trigger my gate was a bit of a journey. At first, I bought an RX-MULTI cloning device hoping it would easily clone the signal from my mirror, but it completely failed. The mirror just wouldn't communicate with it.
The Solution Big shoutout to paunionutz for the help with this! At his suggestion, I bought a generic 433Mhz RF relay kit that came with two separate remotes. Here is what I did:

Wired the new 433Mhz relay module to my gate.
Paired one of the included remotes to the new relay.
Used that new remote to train the Homelink button on the rearview mirror.

It worked perfectly!
A Few Notes / Quirks:

Button Press: You have to press and hold the Homelink button on the mirror for a second or two. A quick, instant tap isn't enough to trigger the gate.
Range: The range is actually really impressive. It triggers the gate from almost the exact same distance as my original "Nice" brand gate remote.

Hope this helps anyone trying to get around Homelink compatibility issues after a retrofit! Let me know if you have any questions about the Orbit settings or the relay wiring.

2023 XC40 Recharge Parameters

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 19:47:14 +0000

Hello! I've got a couple interests in using Orbit to tinker with. Adaptive cruise and any performance options available to me. I want to set my expectations and was wondering if someone had a list of available parameters for my year/ model. I'm understanding Orbit will let me modify settings already available on the car, correct? For instance, if there's a performance upgrade available in the 2024 model, I may not be able to use it on a '23. Thanks!

XC40 Wiring Explorer mini app

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:16:57 +0000

Hi everyone,

I’ve put together a small interactive Volvo XC40 wiring-diagram explorer and thought it might be useful to share here.

Screenshot 2026-08-11 020944.png (Size: 308.96 KB / Downloads: 49)

It lets you click components, connectors, wires, and pins; trace branches or full geometry; show wire colours; and follow ordered routes through connectors. It’s still a public preview, so I’d really appreciate feedback, especially if you find an incorrect pin, route, colour, or missing branch.

I should be transparent: I have limited coding experience, and this was built entirely with Codex. I hope it can still be useful for troubleshooting and understanding the XC40 wiring diagrams.
I built it mainly because I had to go from Peugeot/citroën/DS drawings which were fully interactive in Servicebox to PDF diagrams for my XC40, and I wanted something more interacttive for my projects.

Download / source page: https://github.com/igeorge39/XC40-Wiring-Explorer

Windows users only need to download and run the EXE, no Python or other installation is needed. Please read the README before sharing further, as the included wiring document has its own copyright/distribution notice.

Thanks, and I’d love to hear what people think.

Auto-high beam change to EU/RoW doesn't seem to be retained

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 14:05:24 +0000

Hello, new user here of Orbit and liking the capabilities it opens up for my 26 XC60 T8 Hybrid. I'm in the US and wanting to get the Auto-High Beam to remain active after each restart so long as I have turned the ring to engage it. However, after setting it to EU/RoW through the Orbit software and engaging the feature via the ring rotation, it is not indicating it is still engaged after I restart the car. I used the programming wizard for this config change and everything indicated it completed programming correctly. Can someone please give some feedback on this process? Maybe the visual indication on the dash panel is now irrelevant as I haven't tried it out yet after dark but thinking it is not setting the config like it should be. TIA.

Incorrect VGM PIN error when programming?

Sat, 08 Aug 2026 17:45:39 +0000

Hi - I'm using OrBit with a Polestar 2 on the very latest version of its OTA software (5.1.17, which doesn't even appear on the manufacturer's software info page yet -- though it deployed OTA to the car two weeks ago). Shortly after that update, I was able to connect with OrBit and push some headlight configuration changes to the car. Today, though, I tried again as I wanted to change the version of adaptive that I had chosen. I was able to connect and get basic car info (e.g., battery SOH, 12V charge, and current config), but when I tried to push a change to the car I got a "VGM PIN incorrect" error repeatedly, and could not progress. I verified that OrBit is still set up with the same PINs as I had initially put in for the VIN. Anybody know what could be going wrong and anything I could do to fix it?

I had been running OrBit continuously on the ancient laptop I use for this sole purpose. Closing the app and reopening it triggered a software update check. After installing the latest version of OrBit, everything worked.

Can someone help P212300
