Default Tech data & diagnostics

Hi all. With my XC90 becoming ever more imminent, thoughts are turning to maintenance. Can you suggest the best options for tech data? Also looking for diagnostics options, I'm seeing VIDA Dice options for around £50 and they look to be a laptop interface. Is this tve kit to go for?

Thanks in advance.

Vida gives dealer level diagnostics and has repair manuals built in. But as you’ve said runs on a laptop and is quite fussy over the hardware requirements.

Use the VM Vida image. Works amazingly well and dodges the hardware/software requirements.

Default Vida dice

Hi, I'm looking for advice on which VIDA DICE laptop hardware to buy for my 2007 XC90. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers.
