VCX diagnostic tool £79 inc p&p. Offers?
5 Attachment(s)
Hi all. As many of you will know, my health is poor due to an idiot of a surgeon who mutilated me (and others!!) in January last year. Since then I have been treading water waiting for some sort of surgery to bodge a repair of sorts. Meanwhile, my life hangs in the balance and things are likely to “kick off” in the next few weeks, if the hospital keep to their word. (Debatable) My future is very much 50/50 if I survive the summer.
Anyway, I bought a VCX diagnostic tool From Cheshired5 on this forum, in the hope I might use it one day. However, it was not meant to be as I was never healthy enough to use it. I have never used it and it is as received from Cheshired5. So the first offer of around £79 (incl P&P) can have it. You will get a VCX diagnostic tool which plugs into the car diagnostic port, the lead to connect the VCX with the laptop. Cheshired5 is a great guy to deal with an no doubt help with the software links or I can forward what he sent to me. See the pics. If you are after one of these, no doubt you will know how useful it can be and what to do with it. Kind regards to you all and happy new year. |
Sorry to hear about your health problems, that sound awful and we all hope your surgery goes well.
Out of interest does this VCX diagnostic tool provide any advantages over VIDA? |

Thanks and kind regards. |
Vida is the main dealer software.
The VCX plugs into the car and interacts with Vida the same as a Dice tool. |

2016/17 would need VDash software and this tool or Dice. |

DICE (or any other "dongle" that works with VIDA, like the VCX dongle) is the tool you need, to speak with your car, it is the physical device to make a connection. VIDA is the software, to make any sense of the data, that comes from the car. It is, simply spoken, the translator for your instructions to the car and for the answers the car gives to you. The advantages with a VCX compared to the "original" (or China clone) DICE are a few:
All in all if you can get your hands on a VCX for a good price, take it. If you have a running DICE, stick with it until it brakes or you win the lottery :D EDIT: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=300171 :D |

Borrowed an angry jester tool for the weekend to do EPB and have a play with some features on other cars it’s wireless and easy to use but has far more capabilities than I could ever need the accompanying documents in Vida are really useful does vdash have these. |

Vida is the offline version of the main dealer software and models from 2016 still use it but it's online only for them via dealers so not available to the general public. VDash is a very good but non official program so doesn't have the same content and functionality. Still worthwhile in the absence of anything official. |
