Default volvo vida

Hi today I helped a user today with a 2004 V40 , I tried to read with volvo vida
it would not read, so i tried the icarsoft 906 and it did read some of the modules,
I also have Delphi ds150e and that worked very well reading all modules ,
so you can not always use Volvo vida,
Dave

Did you try to read the car when you plugged it it, or did you maually enter the VIN on Vida. The S40 and V40 are the only cars that VIDA cannot automatically read and you have to enter the VIN manually

Yeap, I am afraid so. Maybe it has to do with the fact that our car is not 100% Volvo and has Mitsubishi and Renault influences.

Already replied to his thread. The problem is the SRS0001 code, which means faulty module. Only way to solve it, is to replace it with another one

OK thanks
Are they interchangeable with a s/h unit with no download, do you need to swap with same software number, like you do with parts on the
S60,
Thanks Dave

On the S40, V40, you can get a second hand unit and it is plug and play. No need for programming etc thank goodness
