A friend of mine got it from a file sharing site for me. All I know is you have to pay to be a premium member to access the high speed downloads and he is.

He gave me versions 2013A and 2013D in compressed(RAR) format, I have them both stored on a 16GB memory stick. I unRAR'd version 2013D and burnt it to disc to see if I could install it over the old 2013A version, it worked perfectly(so far).

EDIT.
They're on this file sharing site somewhere: http://letitbit.net My friend is a Premium Member.

If your ever in Wolverhampton make sure you have a memory stick with you, I'll give you a copy.

I have the vida software. Does it work off a bluetooth ODB2 dapter or do I need a cable link to the laptop and does it have to be a special lead and if so who sells just the leads

It has to be the Volvo "Dice" interface, which connects via USB (genuine ones can use Bluetooth, but it's Slooooowwww!)

You can get Chinese "clones" for around £80 on Ebay, I have one and it works fine, you can do EVERYTHING the Dealer can, apart from upload new software to the car, as this requires a subscrition with Volvo.

I have got vida 2013d working on my laptop but I can't seem to get dice working. It hooks up to the car and I can see it on the dice software but not on vida.

Check for installed updates, remove .net 4 and 4.5 if installed and then try again.
