Cool

This bit of the description is a bit worrying:

FAQ:
Q:I make a test of X431 diagun full pack & the report as below:

Fiat punto 2007 work
ford fiesta 2006 work
bmw x5 e70 2006 work
renault scenic 2005 work
saab 9-5 2005 work
mercedes w203 2002 work
volvo s80 2001 not working
volvo v70 2001 not working
why?

A:We suggest using volvodice on volvo,this product is not that suitable for volvo


It is advertised as Volvo Dice but "is not that suitable for Volvo", sounds a bit dodgy to me.

Grant

PS. And this makes it a none starter for me "Postage: Doesn't post to Scottish Highlands" that'll be the Scottish Highlands located in deepest Siberia where there is no post - what a load of tosh...... Grrrrrrrrr

That links to the same sellers as I have been considering- "bestobd2shop"
is that where you got yours ? If so does your dice have all blue LED's or multicolour ones

What's the significance of the difference between "blue" and "multicolour" LEDs - apart from the colour?

When I was looking at various threads on here and other web sites trying to find a fix for my busted DICE, I became aware of for want of a better phrase were "Different types of DICE" being sold.
In the US it appears that there is a PRO dice version what the differences between it and a "normal" dice are I'm not sure, but its more expensive.
I also discovered that where as all the "old" dice had multicoloured LED's certain sellers were now supplying dice which had all blue LED's.
If you read the VIDA/DICE threads it would appear that there are problems with all the types of dice coming from overseas, but to me at least there appeared to be more problems associated with DICE that had all blue LED's

If you think about it, the prices of these units have come down almost 30% in a few years, and I think that reducing quality is how much of this cost reduction has been achieved. It would also appear that there are far more "sellers" of this equipment than there used to be, and therefore manufactures. Hence my request for multi LED's not the newer all blue type of DICE.
That said it's the Multicoloured LED's Dice I have thats failed.

Hope that makes some sense

Cheers

Bob

Hi guys,

Quick question. The central console with stereo and dashboard can the language be changed via Vida/Dice? I just bought recently an S80 MY2011 from Belgium and in on Dutch language. Difficult to understand. I was wondering if could be updated in English language. Local Dealer ask £300 for this job.
