volvo vida 2014d installation instructions

(The document was translated from Russian forum)

VIDA is a catalog of parts with a variety of instructions and manuals. Also, diagnostics, maintenance and adjustment of some parameters will be available using DiCE .īelow is a small example of working with VIDA 2014D and Volvo DiCE , and also described TWO ways of installing TWO variants (original and repack) of VIDA on Windows 10 (also installed on Windows 8.1). Additionally, added options for solving common problems with / after installation and some useful settings. With the vehicle details entered, the Diagnostics TAB activated and as long as the Ignition is in the II position, it will read all the onboard computers. This time the page also showed my DICE unit in the DICE configuration Box. When I opened VIDA up, I needed to enter all the car details in the Vehicle Profile section. Windows searched for the drivers and installed them. Once VIDA was proven to work, I then took the laptop out to the car and connected the DICE unit to the OBD2 socket and plugged it into the laptop.I then loaded VIDA following this Youtube video (You can check the version in the registry editor in Windows)ħ. I had read that if you are on version 4 VIDA doesn’t like it. I then turned off User Account Control (UAC) and disabled the Windows Firewall.Ħ. At this point I created a restore point in windows, so I could revert to this point should I have problems installing VIDA.ĥ. VIDA 2014D would not load with only IE8 in place.Ĥ. When mine was loaded and updated, it only had Internet Explorer 8 on it. You will certainly need to ensure that service pack 1 is installed.

Use WIN 7 professional 32 Bit and let windows do a full update (takes ages). I had read on the forums that there were some out there with only Blue Lights and seemed to give problems.Ģ. The VIDA unit has multicoloured lights on it. I purchased a VIDA / DICE unit with the latest 2014D software.

Is there any reason I can't buy a bluetooth adapter for a desktop, and use the bluetooth link instead of USB? (I already have a desktop in the garage with an SSD, 4gb RAM etc.)Ĥ.1. There seems to be a lot of talk about doing it with a laptop.

What's the best way to go about the software side of things? Does it come with software or do I need to download it from somewhere?ģ. There are a bunch of different ones on ebay, that all look similar. As far as I understand, VIDA requires Windows 7 Pro and semi-decent hardware, which shouldn't be an issue for me.ġ. I'm looking at getting a DiCE unit from ebay. Apologies if these are questions that have been asked before.
