Vida download

nigxl · Jul 23rd, 2018, 07:12

Would like to download Vida as I like to have a tinker and have just installed a Towbar and electrics that need coding.
Don't want a dodgy version that needs to be cracked but want it to be able to code modules etc.
Anyone know where I can download this? Thanks

Just Google genuine Volvo Vida.
The package including Dice will be around £1000 plus subscription fees and additional car software costs so I hope you have a lot of other jobs to do to recoup your investment.

Ah, guess it's going to be the cheaper version then

Just went to the local specialist who couldn't code the towbar electrics for me as their Vida only did cars up to 2015?
Is there a newer version I should be going for as mine is a 2016 but an MY17 car?
Thanks

Why don't you just take it to local Volvo dealership, they can usually do the programming for about £55. Well worth it in my opinion.

My closest dealer is about 70 miles away or about a 4 hour round trip.
Plus it's nice to have your own diagnostic kit.
Driven mainly Audi/vw up until now and I bought the full VCDS kit for them.
Still clear the odd faults for mates with it now.
