Drivers Information Module (DIM) replacement
 

Whos Drivers Information Module (DIM) has needed replacement or is showing the signs of needing replacement?

Trying to see how big this issue is!

If you post can you indicate the age and mileage of your car?

Thanks

Touch wood!!!!! I have not needed one yet! But neighbour who has a V70 52 plate has had it replaced by main dealer at a cost of over £1,000.

Dim replacement
 

Mine keeps freezing, how did people over come there problem????

try resetting your car..take battery off overnight....and check wiring under seats..

Treid all that no joy, when I removed PCB from dim and twist it it works, new DIM I think

Is it worth it?..you cant even use 2nd hand ones and dealer prices are around £800+ mark..

No, its not worth it, but ive been looking for week for an second hand one, if the numbers dont match it wont work. Salvo sent me one but wasnt compatible. Sent it to a company in poole, they said there was nothing wrong, pluged it back in and its even worse now

Classic sign of dry joints, or a poor connector - get someone who can solder to repair it for you.
A decent TV repair man will have the needed skills. The worst it is is a crack on the board or on a track - these can be repaired too.

The DIM is Chassis/Car specific cant be placed in any car they have to be programmed by Volvo
