Car Scanner Pro Android app will read a lot of Volvo specific ECU values and DTCs with the Volvo VEA plugin. If I were looking for a more advanced single make diagnostic and programming tool I'd probably have a look at the new dongles from Launch (ThinkDiag) or Autel that run in conjunction with phone software and are capable of a lot more than iCarSoft. I maintain several vehicles and bought a Launch MOT Pro a couple of years ago, just under £400 from a Launch Europe dealer as opposed to the nearly £900 that the UK distributor wanted, but those opportunities are likely to all end very soon with the B***** fiasco. |

Hi , Yes i use icarsoft2 on my XC60 D5, seems to do the job, easy to use, no problems so far, guess not as good as volvo official software, but at a cost of £130ish, plug and go, saved me time and money so far..good luck

You can simply extend VIDA 2014d to 2018 cars with database tweak:

So if you attempt to program or make adjustments to an ECU that does not operate in an exact identical fashion to the one on a 2014 car, there is a potential risk of unintended consequences, which could possibly be rather expensive to fix. |

sadly, you cant reset the under bonnet passenger safety airbag control electronics (ECU) with VIDA so we had to send that away to get reset quick cheap day turnaround NICE!!! Local Volvo Independent said NEW ECU needed at usual VOLVO MEGA COST plus their time :-(
