Hi Simon
I am a new volvo owner and new forum user. Could you please enlighten me on what the VIDA software includes and what it can do. I have a MY16 xc70 and as far as I can understand it the2014d VIDA ( last non connected version) would not recognise my VIN no. Does this mean that your setup will not work on my car, at all, ie will it not even give fault codes of various modules (outside of the mandatory OBD stuff)? Does the software at least include workshop manuals, description of various software packages, etc.
Thanks
Andy

Honest short answer? For a 2016, don't bother.

Default Thanks for your help matey

Quick note to say thanks to Cheshired5

Its fair to say that I've had problems getting VIDA sorted and up and running correctly. Mine was an ex company laptop with lots of security and so on and has been a real nightmare to get sorted.

Simon patiently helped with a lot of email going back and forth until the issues were resolved, issues I may add that were 100% down to my setup, and not his stuff.

id recommend anyone thinking of getting VIDA to go this route, I've had great help and support from this fine chap. That help is well worth the extra few quid for the service he provides.

By contrast, the one I bought on eBay and sent back as it didn't work has still not been credited back to my account by the seller......

Its a no-brainer, Just sayin

right, I'm off to play out and send all my electric windows up and down a few times with my VIDA

Available again until further notice.

To answer the most commonly asked questions,

1 x Dice with Vida 2014d on a DVD is £100 delivered to the UK mainland.
You must have a laptop with 3GB RAM minimum and 30gb free HDD space.
My personal preference is 4GB minimum and a processor with a clock speed above 2GHz.

The laptop must have Windows 7 Professional as a minimum or 7 Enterprise or 7 Ultimate.
