Dash language change using VIDA
I just can`t figure it out how to do it. I bought the volvo DICE and got VIDA 2011 program with it. It works great , I erased all the error messages from the driver information display, but I can`t change its language.
It is for a V70 2.4 TDI 2001 Has anyone done it yet? |

As Clan says this needs what is called a DIM Reload to be able to change the language. For most people the only place is a Dealer or a specialist indy with the proper 'Genuine Kit'.
I get what your saying and that you can get a subscription and pay for the software download etc... But you will need the proper VIDA Kit not an ebay special for this. |

Hi,
I have just imported a few volvos from Japan to New Zealand. The local dealer is wanting to charge $500/car to change the language from Japanese to English. That's crazy. Anyway I found this from his YouTube clip. volvodash.com Does anyone have any ideas how I can get a hold of the equipment, or does the latest ebay version of the DICE/VIDA do the job now? Thanks :-) |

Dash language - japanese to English
Hi Soarer, did you ever find out how to change the Japanese to English in the XC60? Keen to hear how you got on as I am in Auckland too.

The subscription to the download service is something like $3000 USA. So, no, as Clan says it's dealer or nowt.

volvodash.com This is the cheapest and safest way to change language on all Volvo car platforms, I used it myself. Volvo charges 135€ for DIM and ICM change.
