Thank You Simon!

VXNano arrived yesterday and with your video guidance was quickly set up on Win7. Definitely recommended!

Now I can see the signal from my lambda sensor is there sometimes and then disappears..........

Hi. Will this VIDA/DICE system read codes on a 1998 940 LPT? It has the OBD2 port in the armrest but isn't OBD2 compliant. TIA.

The Vida software contains the parts catalogue, workshop manual and technical data but there is no compatibility for code reading.
1999 is the earliest model year for that.

VXNano arrived yesterday, and its working as it should.
Vida was able to recognize it after driver installation immediately.

Thank you Simon.

I stopped checking for an update, now I find you have an alternative.
I think my W7 Pro laptop should be compatible for DICE.
How do I get a VCX? (UK mainland) Paypal?

Just for info...I've had Vida and Dice on an old lappy for years......started playing silly buggers with USB device not recognised, so could not connect to the car ffs. Thought I'd fixed it by replacing the USB cable and seemed ok.
Needed to read the car on Tuesday ffs same problem. That's it new tool needed as the old Dice has paid for itself many times over.

Tuesday I contacted Simon........Thursday it's here and working as it should, VCX Nano......many thanks to the video link.

Very satisfied.

Cheers

Flawless delivery and support. I opted to use a spare laptop (was gathering dust) and was helped through the whole installation process.

Simon is professional and responsive. Any time I had a query he got back to me super quick.

Just a note for anyone having comms issues i.e. the icon not going green. I found disabling windows defender/ firewall resolved it for me.

Thanks again Simon

Because of the woeful supply of Dice, I've decided to go down this alternative route instead.

I've been using a VCX personally for a couple of months now and it has exactly the same functionality as Dice and is used in conjunction with the main dealer software Vida to read all available modules on your car.

As with Dice, I test every unit and weed out any non functional ones so you will receive a guaranteed working unit which will connect straight to your car provided it is within the 1999-2015 model years with some exceptions at either end of the range.

You will also need a suitably specced Windows 7 Professional laptop to run the Vida software natively or a higher spec laptop or Mac to run Vida as a virtual machine.

I've tried extremely hard to keep the price the same as the last 3 years so 1 x VCX Nano and Vida 2014d software is:
£100 delivered to the UK mainland
£105 delivered to Eire
£110 to the EU
£115 to the rest of the world (price may vary).

Fast and good spec Vida laptops are also available for an additional £150 delivered to the UK mainland so £250 total for a complete plug and play package.
Hi Simon

I’d be very grateful if you could contact me to arrange the purchase of a complete package (vida,laptop and dice/vcx)

Manky thanks

Paul

Ordered and received within a few days. I went for the plug and play option on a laptop as I didn’t want to risk dropping mine or getting it covered in oil etc. All seems to be working perfectly

Thanks Simon, a great service
