Front fog light installation
Hello
I just ordered all the parts required to install the front fog light into my 2011 S40 (all are used original parts). I do not expect any difficulties with the mechanical part of the process, however I know that the fog light will have to be enabled in the software as well. I have Volvo vida dice. Does anyone know how to enable/install the fog light software? |

Just follow the installation instructions in Vida.
If software is required, it will tell you in the instructions along with the software part number.

I only found a very basic guide in VIDA on how to do this (attached), am I doing it wrong?

By the way, since it is not a simple enable-disable current option, does this mean that the fog lights will have some extra functionality, like light up in the corners? |

It might well be just a simple enable so the software allows the network to "see" the fog light installation just like installing drivers with new hardware on a PC.
Why not negotiate a service deal with the main dealer as most include general software updates in the service package and they may include the fog light software too.

but I ts most likely "pay up so the car can 'see' the installed hardware" exactly as cheshired5's analogy. Update for car is always welcome, if there is any - you probably should go for it (unless your car is mapped then I think it will overwrite the map...?)

Hi AndrasL, did the fog light installation require a software update in the end? if you just added the lights without the software update would they function in any capacity? Thanks for your post.
