Having just baught a new van it's something I shall have to consider as well.
Seems a lot of Google searching is on the cards to find answers.
I fear dealers have as much clue as owners do at the moment.
I will certainly follow this tread with interest and post any information I find.

Does pin 10 offer power to the atc devise on newer vans?

Paul.
Caravan ATC is connected to pin 9 which is a permanent live, On my new XC90 there is quite a long delay from when plugging in to the socket to ATC activating, I thought my pin 9 was not connected or fused up at first as ATC activated when ignition was turned on instantly, I had my dealer check and pin 9 was live, Others on here have reported this delay so it looks to be normal for new SPA models. On my old XC90 the ATC activated instantly when plugged in.

I just wired both sockets on my xc90 2005 model but cant find any ignition lives to go to pin 10 fridge ignition +. anyone got any idea where a 10amp (at least) ignition live might be on the xc90. I spent a full afternoon searching for one but not found. Volvo wont tell you anything, I tried and failed

Are you using the Volvo cable harness and trailer module with software upgrade? If not, that might be part of your problem. If you are, it may be that pin 10 (you talk about wiring both sockets but pin 10 is on the single 13 pin socket) only becomes live once it senses a load on it, such as the fridge. So testing it with a multimeter won’t show any voltage.
