Had my laptop for a few days and it's been great, exactly as described and the VIDA program has worked consistently well. From order to delivery the transaction was very quick and easy and I would certainly recommend one of Simon's systems to anyone

Thumbs up

Hi all, Just been to deepest Cheshire to meet up with Simon. I already had Vida running on a laptop, which Simon had improved/corrected via email so purchased a Dice from Simon. Put it all together in the car & it worked straight out of the box, promptly demonstrated by Simon. At home again,tried it out &,of course, it worked. System is fine, it's me that needs training. Will surely get there eventually. All in all I recommend Simon as honest & helpful, & an all round nice guy. Am now going square eyed from looking at the laptop. Many thanks Simon,cheers,JDmac.

The last of the current laptops which are:

2 x Dell E6400 with 14.1" screens and 1 x Dell E4300 with a 13.3" screen.

Applicable to all 3:
Windows 10 Pro
Vida 2014d running natively not in a virtual machine
Intel dual core 2.4GHz processors
4GB Ram
100GB free HDD space
Ex business laptops in good used condition running Vida extremely well and quickly
Fully Windows updated with Internet Explorer 11 and the latest .Net Framework and can be used as an everyday laptop when Vida isn't required

Laptops are £145 each delivered to the UK mainland

£100 extra (£245 total) to add a fully tested and working Dice.

See my feedback of nearly 3 years on the forum.

Default Now with SSD included

All laptops will now be fitted with a 120GB SSD for an even faster experience.
The price will increase slightly by an additional £5 which is much less than the cost of the SSD upgrade.
Even higher capacity SSDs can be fitted for a little extra and for less than cost price.
240GB SSD + £15
480GB SSD + £35

Anyone who paid more for an SSD upgrade from me previously has been refunded the difference.

All laptops run Vida 2014d natively on Windows 10 Pro, have 4GB RAM and can be used as everyday laptops when Vida isn't required.

In Summary:
-New, tested and guaranteed working Dice with full installation support £100
You must already have a suitably specced laptop for this option

-Vida 120GB SSD laptop on its own £150

-Vida 120GB SSD laptop with a new, tested and guaranteed working Dice £250

These are delivered prices to the UK mainland.
Europe and the rest of the world cost extra.

1 x Dice and laptop combination available.

Laptop is a Lenovo T400 running Vida 2014d natively on Windows 10 PRO with 120GB SSD storage for a fast experience.
Can also be used for general laptop use when Vida isn't being used.

No setting up required, just turn on the laptop, plug in the Dice and you're reading your car within a few minutes.

£250 delivered to the UK mainland.

I now have available VCX Nano for sale.
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'm running an XP VM on my Macbook and wondered if you can do me a VCX Nano with appropriate version of VIDA (I think <2014A?) to work on this, please?

Cheers,
Rob

Is it possible to get a copy of VIDA and suitable interface to work with my Lenovo Thinkpad running on Windows 10.
Unfortunately, I cannot PM as I have insufficient posts.
Many thanks
