Hi everyone, a few years ago I posted a document on how to change configurations in a Facebook group for C30s. It allows you to activate features like cruise control, DRLs, trip computer etc on P1 Volvos (probably can be used for other platforms too but I have never worked on them). I was recently activating some features in my V50 and decided would make a video tutorial while I was at it and have posted it here:
You need a programmer like Xprog, VVDI or orange 5 but for anyone who likes tinkering with P1 Volvos its a but of fun and handy if you've a low spec model like mine! I know this thread is heavily CAN based unlike this method but decided I would post here to contribute something back to the excellent work being done helping people customise their Volvos.

Need a bit of help here, cant find pin 8 to connect the resistor.
I have 4 pins on one end and 2 on the other. Aslo the labling of the 4 pins doesn't correspond with the schematic. So should i follow the schematic or the lables.
When i follow the schematic and put no resistor on R1&R2, i get no output.

121 is 12*10^1 = 120 Ohm
103 is 10*10^3 = 10k Ohm

You should see a popup window with Teensy's programmer.
