Its a 2011 v60 d3

Having had a decent look on Vida, I'm of the opinion that no it isn't possible to change your headlights on a V60 using an offline Dice and Vida so what I'm selling will be no good for that particular purpose.

Vida Dice purchase
 

Hello - Spoken before on this and thanks for advice.Windows 7pro now purchased and installed, laptop capacity fine, so can you please PM me with details for paypal payment and how I get my address to you for postage.
Thanks and regards,

Pm sent although it seemed to take a while to go through so if you haven't received it, let me know. :thumbs_up:

Hi CheshireD5 (I can't send PMs yet!),

I'm in need of a VIDA / DICE unit ASAP to diagnose an Engine Service message on a 2012 XC90 that I just bought.

I'm in Warrington close to M6 J22.

Do you have any in stock please, and is there somewhere we can meet in person?

Thanks,

Lee

The meeting options are in the first post of this thread although with my shifts and it being half term, I'm unlikely to be free for several days so the posting option is your best bet.
You would still need a suitably specced laptop setup correctly to load Vida so if urgency is key, meeting a local member with Dice and Vida would be better still.

Having said all that, you've just got the car, I assume it's been serviced so check the oil level. It may just need a little draining/sucking out.

Oil is on or slightly above max - seems like that might be the problem.

However the dealer I bought it from has said he'd pay for a diagnosis so I'm going to take it to Hallmark Volvo in Stockport.

I'll probably get back in touch at a later date - it would be handy to have my own VIDA/DICE for any future problems.

Thanks,
Lee

Oil should be 2/3-3/4 max so yes it's overfilled.
Check your seller will also pay for draining.

Hi,
If they are still available and likely to work on a '99 V70 tdi, I'd like one please. I'm unable to PM due to membership status so please let me have payment details, thanks.

I'd need your 17 digit chassis to check.

Do you still have any of these available, also I'm not sure if I have windows 7 home or pro, will it work on both?

Vida 2014d will not work on 7 Home and sorry but they're all sold.

Im surprised no one has mentioned making another partition and installing windows 7 pro. this would give you 2 operating systems. use your normal windows 10 but when you need to use Vida boot into windows 7 pro. :animal-smiley-037:

Hi
I have similar on my laptop and works well.
I also dual boot my mac. I can still run my older parallels VM on Mountain Lion with XP running inside for the VIDA.

I have the updates turned off for the OS running VIDA as well, to stop any problems

Iain

Any problems caused by updates are easily remedied so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
I use Vida on my fully updated day-to-day laptop without issue.

Hi I was wondering if you could send me your details if you still have these available

Hi - my name is Chris. We have XC70 from 03.2016 - end of production run. Will this VIDA software and Dice connector work with our car?

Thank you.

Chris

The great weather coming up will be perfect for car fixing but the double Bank Holidays restrict postage and delivery so I'd order sooner rather than later.
Dice and software £100 delivered.
Dice and laptop £245 delivered.
Both prices are UK mainland.

Hi cheshired5,
Is there any way I can print out a repair list direct from Vida so I can have it to hand when trying to sort a problem with a C70's windows?

When I try to copy and paste into MS Office/Word 2016 it drops the pictures. (NB I've tried all the normal past settings - it still drops the photos/diagrams.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Alan

Hi Alan,
My suggestion would be to copy and paste the words into the Word document as you've done then click on each diagram individually in Vida to open them then right click on the opened image and save as a picture to your pictures folder.
You can then insert the pictures at the relevant points in the word document.
Hope that helps.

Thanks cheshired5 - that's what I have been doing up until now - I just wondered if there was a faster more efficient work round that you knew of - thanks again for all the support over the last few years - it really is appreciated.
Thanks again
Cheers
Alan

Vida
 

Hi there I’m looking for Vida do you have any available? If so can you PM me details

Thanks

Hi I was also interested in the vida for the laptop please pm me

Hi, can I use vida to install applications on my car if I fit parking sensors myself?

Cheers

Do you already have Vida?

Thanks for the reply. I had it but had trouble sourcing a win 7 pro laptop sold it along with dice.

Looking to get it again as like to do all my own jobs on car so would come in handy.

Cheers

With an additional subscription (expensive), you can install software to activate a genuine Volvo parking sensor installation but the official installation itself is very detailed and unlikely to be a wise option DIY.
Vida contains the full process though.

Much as I enjoy DIY, if it was my car, I'd be approaching a main dealer.

Vida
 

Hi cheshired5 how do I go about buying a vida device and how many days for delivery.

Windows 7 pro 64bit
 

Hi does this work on a laptop with windows 7 pro 64bit?
Also can it calibrate a new steering angle sensor, I need to replace mine, thanks

Yes it installs easily on 7 Professional.

A new SAS needs a software download so I'd be leaving that to a main dealer.

Now with SSD included
 

All laptops will now be fitted with a 120GB SSD for an even faster experience.
The price will increase slightly by an additional £5 which is much less than the cost of the SSD upgrade.
Even higher capacity SSDs can be fitted for a little extra and for less than cost price.
240GB SSD + £15
480GB SSD + £35

Anyone who paid more for an SSD upgrade from me previously has been refunded the difference.

All laptops run Vida 2014d natively on Windows 10 Pro, have 4GB RAM and can be used as everyday laptops when Vida isn't required.

In Summary:
-New, tested and guaranteed working Dice with full installation support £100
You must already have a suitably specced laptop for this option

-Vida 120GB SSD laptop on its own £150

-Vida 120GB SSD laptop with a new, tested and guaranteed working Dice £250

These are delivered prices to the UK mainland.
Europe and the rest of the world cost extra.

Software/Unit
 

Hi chesired5,

Sorry, I don't have enough posts to pm you.

I was looking to purchase the vida software & dice unit only.

I will be installing it on a Acer dual core 1.8ghz, win7 pro 64 bit laptop with 4gb memory, clean install.

Looking for this asap, as engine service light (red warning) has come on twice in last 10days (it initially disappeared, now currently on). Car was serviced by Volvo 4 weeks ago & done 300 miles since!

Many Thanks

Hi, all done!

Vida and DICE success!
 

My srs light came on just before MOT time,joy. After searching this forum found this post.Cheshired5 supplied me with the full kit very promptly and provided with all the information to install the software on my computer and to use the DICE reader to read and modify the modules on my vehicle.He also provided me with extensive and effective support during this process.The software ran without any difficulty and the fault cleared, so now off for any early MOT. I can recommend this purchase to anyone, even those who are not wholly computer literate. Great service great product.
