There will always be a demand for laptops which are already set up with the best software available for Volvos.
Thank you, could you tell me how much they are posted to mainland UK & do you have any in stock?

The tool and laptop is £250 delivered.
The tool on its own is £100 delivered.

I have VCX tools tested and ready to send out but just sold the last laptop.
I could have one ready to send out at the start of next week but it would need to be a definite order, already paid for.
In the current situation, spending money to stock up on laptops on the off-chance isn't really viable.

I have acquired a genuine Volvo DICE from a disposal auction, which has come with a CD with software on it - but I can't read the disc as I am a mac user, so don't know what version is on it :-0

But before I rush off and buy a PC - is there a minimum spec needed - and what version of windows will I need - or can I not tell that until I know what version of the software is on the CD?

This is a specific sales thread for working solutions which I sell.
Feel free to ask on one of the many general Dice and Vida enquiry/help threads or start your own.

Hi
Could you let me know when available please, I'd like to order from you. Also could you give me your YouTube channel as I can't get it through profile/signature. Also would I be better off getting an independent laptop like a think pad rather than trying running potential problems with a Win 10 chrome book, or do you sell the complete package already to go.
Thanks

I recently bought the VIDA software and VCX tool from Simon and I'd just like to say huge thanks to him for his patience and help in guiding me through getting it up and running on my laptop - certainly far and away above the support you'd get in buying something like this from a high street vendor.

I think VIDA will be a massive benefit to me in understanding and maintaining my car. I've already used it to turn up the heat setting on my heated seats, turn off the annoying seat belt reminder 'bonging' and it has pointed me toward the glow plug relay being at fault for my cold start issues.
