I intend to do all the possible work myself, like on every car i have owned. I also don't want to be forced to go to the stealers every time it chucks some stupid error message. This means that I need some sort of diagnostic cable and software. Looks like Vida Dice is the way to go, can be bought quite cheaply. Are there any other options?

No, I am not buying a genuine one. You know you can get those as cracked copies?

Yes, but you don't mention that on public forums... Why? Because Volvo can read here without registering and the VIDA system is like any other company software: (C) by Volvo - no Fees, no Use!
