Now have a box with DICE VIDA .... and a disc.

Will Win10 Home, support VIDA? or MUST it be Win7Pro?

Bit tricky if its only win7Pro!

With thanks, Richard

Some have managed to install on Windows 10 but for a straightforward installation it's 7 Professional only.

Simplest solution is to make a 7 Professional partition then load Vida on that.
That's how my Windows 10 laptop is set up and it works perfectly.
Then you just have to hope that your Dice isn't one of the many which don't work.

OK ... got my laptop made a Win7Pro partiton, so all good.

Loaded the VIDA software, which opens in IE11. Login OK and it finds the car.

However I cannot access the DIAGNOSTICS tab, its greyed out.

Anyone got an idea how to get to the diagnostics?

Or is the DICE faulty?

Many thanks again Richard.

You'll need to fill in the boxes on the front screen that ask what transmission, body type etc, then diagnostics should be available.

Search "how to use vida" - plenty of good youtube guides.

Ah right.....I'll fill those in. They were blank so that'll be the reason. Will have to look up what my vehicle has fitted.

Many thanks 👍 👍

Ahhhh .... SR looks like Sunroof.

Mine'll be W/O SR then, as it doesn't have one.

DICE and VIDA ... now up and running with Diagnostic tab accessible.

But goodness me what a load of information to get to grips with!

So far have reset the DPF mileage, not sure what that really does other than tell you to buy a new one.

Also learn how to open a window and turn the EGR valve on/off.

Just need to learn how to clear codes to see what is really going on.
