Thanks for this gents.
Would this patch work with 2013A ?

And would anyone be kind enough to explain (exactly) what I need to do to apply the patch? Like in thick mechanic terms?

Cheers,
Cieran

Thanks everyone, after reading this thread I thought that I would check mine today and found that it was working perfectly but I only had 2 days showing as remaining.

That looked odd until I realised that my stand alone, old lap top used specifically for Vida was showing the date as 30/12/17.

I've altered the date on the patch file to a date well into the future and reinstalled it so now have over 4000 days showing.

It's working fine but I wonder ( bearing in mind that it is used for nothing else whatsoever other than Vida ) if I had changed the date on the computer to a date in say 2012 for example, would I have resolved the issue that way?

Anyway, much appreciated for people bringing this to my attention and instructions as to how to sort it.

SO, no one can explain how I go about getting this Vida system !! Do I need to get another scan tool? Can it run on Mac ? My son can change it if needed. So any help please ?

Sorry to bring this topic back again but came to use my Vida this week and of course I have also run out of time. Having read the other useful information I obtained a copy of WinRAR, changed the date on my patch and saved it. I then ran the patch again and was faced with a message as follows:
Windows cannot find 'C:\VIDA\patch\filldb.cmd'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.
Will someone please explain what I have done wrong or do I need to download the patch mentioned earlier in this thread?
Thanks in advance for your help
