Vida ReviewS:

1.The rub with VIDA on an old, dedicated laptop is that you must first charge up the laptop, then boot the laptop, and wait for VIDA to initialize before you can do anything. I have yet to try and run VIDA on a virtual machine on a faster computer.

That said, you really do need VIDA. VIDA on a cheap old laptop will pay for itself first problem.
Example: Anti-skid problem on the 2011 XC90. I could reproduce the problem repeatedly with the steering wheel, so I was 99% sure that the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) was the problem. Still, $250 part. Supposedly, another $200 for “software”. VIDA let me plot all of the signals in and out of the SAS. I could demonstrate without a doubt that the SAS was the problem. Furthermore, once I had the new part installed, all was well. I could then query the Brake Control Module (BCM) to be sure that the SAS was sending the data downstream properly. It was. Car was happy. No codes. No need for software. Furthermore, since the car was under a 30 day warranty, and the SAS is the airbag’s clock spring, I got the dealership (a Jeep dealership) we bought it from to cut me a check for the part… though I had to play a little hardball to get there. In short, what would have been a $1000 dealership fix was a $0 fix. Laptop was $300.

2.I am ending up trying VIDA, I follow the RickHaleParker thread (matthewsvolvo forum) on how to install it on Windows10. Was really easy and it should work fine as soon as my dice unit comes in. I’m ready to hook it up now.

Reviews:

I agree that VIDA/DICE is the best way to go by a very big margin. But like many, mine’s on an old laptop that takes awhile to boot up. A “lite” tool is handy.

Handy for the seemingly random P0420/P0430 codes that come up once every other month with the XC90.

Launch X431 Pro Mini Reviews:
1.I got myself a LAUNCH X431 mini. It worked perfectly on my XC60s. It basically can do anything that you may want to do as a DIYer. The unit is based on Android, the interface is very smooth and user friendly. The software got updated regularly so I assume it will work well with all the latest models of any manufacturers. You have 2 years of free update after registering the unit.

2.Package came fast. Called the customers service for TECH support and I was asked to offer them the serial number, country and language I would be needed for using the tool. after activation and downloading the sofware, found it is really a multi-function device with a wide car coverage list. I applied it to my Porsche, and it accurately solved the oil indicator and cleared the DTC. I also used it to troubleshoot problems of my wife’s AUDI, couple of problems was found and fixed without issues. A good unit indeed. The seller was fairly supportive and the product good as well, I bet this product can at least save me $2000 plus time and labor per year. Highly recommend.
