Vida and model year 17 cars
I have a Dice and Vida 2014B which has worked perfectly on the Volvo's we owned but my wife has changed to a 2017 XC60 which has thrown a "engine service required" warning. Just to check it was not something urgent I hooked up the Vida but although it correctly read the VIN it would not identify the car or perform any diagnostics.
Will Vida 2014D perform any better or is Vida no longer any use on later vehicles. Any help would be appreciated. John

No.
Like any program, it only contains the data available at the time of the version being written (approx 2013/14). It's impossible for it to contain information from the future nor is it possible to update it.

Wonder if snap on 18.4 diognostics would work on it.
Many garages use snap on generic diognostics devises and their current up to date OBD2 software is 18.4 so April 2018. Paul. |

A very good reason to not buy a new volvo in my book then.
Having the choise wether or not to use a Volvo dealer to maintain your car is fine. Being forced to use a Volvo dealer because no one else can get the information is quite another thing in my book. This policy has just devalued any new volvo as the secondhand market has now become very restricted , once that car is on to its third owner very few will willingly pay dealer prices.. Paul. |

As for 7 to 10 year old cars being worthless, my 26 year old landrover is an appreciating asset and going up in value with 205 000 miles on it. It's horses for courses of course and many will take what's on offer and suck it up, while others whom know what they want will find someone to supply it. Paul. |
