Not sure about the dial sweep (I doubt it,) but the mirrors cant be done on the XC90 via VIDA.

Mines a 2005 S60 D5. I don't recall seeing any options for it but if any1 can advise where it might be then i'll plug into it and have a nose.

To see the needles sweep on the dials, access the Driver Information Module(DIM) and follow the instructions(see screen shots below).

I think a lot of what this box does is probably attainable on a 'one-off' basis via VIDA, but the trick is that this programs it in via macros for whenever you want.

Adding the reverse lights to the marker lights for when pressing the yellow button on the fob is also a neat and useful trick

Not sure what can and can't be activated in VIDA but I will check soon as the wife gets back with the car.

The impressive thing about this device is it can do things that non of the other nodes are able to do, like the welcome note when turning on the ignition.
