ITP / MOST security – and it’s removal!

Join the most reactive Vida/Vdash support group on FACEBOOK CLICK HERE

So, Volvo kindly added security to the infotainment system on certain models so that you can not swap in donor hardware.

Certain markets this security is off by default , usually USA, but you can use Vida (any vida) to check if its on or off.

On P1 and P2 Models this is called MOST security (Media-Oriented Systems Transport) also know as SOM (Security on most, or “Security on Media-Oriented Systems Transport” ) .

On P3 its called ITP (Infotainment Theft Protection).

Essentially if you swap in any part of the infotainment system from donor hardware to replace a dead part or to make an upgrade, the system turns itself off after a few seconds.

So which models have it and how can we bypass it.

P1 – All models!

P2 – XC90

P3 – All models!

Here is a list of the software part numbers that you would use to switch it off with a genuine Vida Subscription.

SW P/N to turn ITP/SOM OFF:
P1 C70 30667249 NO LONGER AVAIALBE!!
P1 C30 30667249 NO LONGER AVAIALBE!!
P1 S40 30667249 NO LONGER AVAIALBE!!
P1 V50 30667249 NO LONGER AVAIALBE!!
P3 V70 30786292
P3 XC70 30786292
P3 S80 30786292
P2 XC90 8696093 NO LONGER AVAIALBE!!
P3 XC60 31268617
P3 S60 31268617
P3 V60 31268617
P3 V40 31382168

So, as you can See Volvo have F***KD P1 and P2 XC90 owners in the A** . The only way Volvo can help now is to sell you NEW parts and install them into the car. Which would be more than the value of most P1 or P2 cars. #megadicks

But all is not lost, there are always ways. So lets break down some of them.

P1 & P2 MOST delete with VDASH

P1 and P2 , Certain reloads with VIDA reveal critical information like CEM and immobilizer pin codes. The IMMOB pin is required for programs like VDASH to be able to turn off MOST security.

P1 platform, VDASH can calculate the immob WITHOUT the CEM pin in minutes.

On some P2 models Vdash can calculate with immob pin just like on P1 platform, but there is no clear model guidance currently for P2. You just have to try.

See this article for more detail (its not much more detail lol)

On some P2 CEM types, Vdash can calculate the immob pin from the CEM pin code. Assuming you already have the CEM pin code, log into Vdash, then on the front screen there will be a button for with either DECODE immob or Add Immob. Obviously it changes according to if Vdash can Decode or or if you have to add the pin.

Once you have the immob pin, you can go to Security in Vdash then Choose MOST off.

Car electronics experts can read this information form the car’s modules on the bench. But thats above most peoples abilities. Defiantly mine!

So, the easy route is to get In touch with a Vdash Pro like myself to help get the immob pin , so we can feed it into Vdash then Vdash can do the MOST off.

P3 ITP off (Excluding V40) – with Vdash

On P3 platform cars (excluding V40’s) , Vdash or ModUnlock can decode the CEM pin code, from there Vdash can decode the immobilizer pin. With the immobiliser pin Vdash can disable the ITP security. Wooo! Same for P3tool.

Of course, you can ask a main dealer, independent or Vdash pro to use VIDA to do the Job.

P3 ITP off – V40’s

This is the same as P2 platform. Unfortunately, It is NOT possible to calculate the immobiliser pin code form the CEM pin with VDASH, however P3tool can calculate V40 immob and then disable ITP security.

To use VDASH we have to do a module reload that has the immob PIN to capture it. then we can feed it into Vdash to do a ITP off. Such as CEM reload, ECM reload.

So, the easy route is to get In touch with a Vdash Pro like myself to help get the immob pin , so we can feed it into Vdash then Vdash can do the MOST off, or use P3tool.
