I too have no affiliation to cheshired5 but I have absolutely no reason to doubt his integrity. He recently supplied me a new VIDA unit having fully tested on video first. A very helpful chap - thanks. (just look at all the U Tube "how to" videos for volvos)

I have had past experience of buying untested units from Chinese Ebay sellers. The first one didnt work at all and the second was so flakey the results could not be trusted. In both cases the seller would only replace the unit if sent back!!! Big problem - the return shipping charges are more than the cost of the unit, even IF you could write the address label in a Chinese typeface!

No VIDA unit will work unless you can correctly load it in a windows 7 professional environment or emulation.

The unit will pay for itself the first time you use it to diagnose a problem rather than take it to your local agent who will charge you heavily for the pleasure.
