VIDA 2014D/2015A Windows 11
-
I am 70 and a chromebook droid guy. This has been challenging...I have had trouble identifying my operating system and by mistake, downloaded the 7 windows download thinking it would work. It did not although I paid for it. I now am pretty sure I have 11 home. Isn't there a link where one can just download the program, hook it up to the dongle or dice and use the program vida. V Dash appears to be very difficult for me in USA. It lacks what I would call normal intuitive links so much that I wonder what it actually lets you do, ( I want to get a remote working). So I am back to VIDA but its proving challenging. Can I just click download a program for my p2 2005 xc70, and then work through a menu and index?

@Mslacool VIDA is much more unintuitive and user unfriendly than Vdash. If you want an easy to use tool, you will need a Bluetooth OBD-adapter like a vLinker MC+ and mobile phone apps like "V-Tool" for modelyear 2005 and newer or "Car Scanner ELM OBD2" for 2004 and older. V-Tool allows you to read codes and access lots of service functions. Car Scanner reads codes and allows to reset the service reminder.

@T5-T6-Schnappi thank you for clarifying it to me!

Works perfectly so far with my 2008 Volvo C70!
Use case:
I was able to clear my "Urgent SRS Airbag" Warning I got from taking out the Seats which do have airbags in them, and then turning the ignition ON, the computer was not happy.Computer Setup:
I installed Windows 11 X lite 23H2 on my Dell Latitude E6500 powered by a core 2 duo P9700, 8gb ddr2 800mhz, and a sata SSD. The laptop is speedy enough with this setup and the minimalist windows install and VIDA has no trouble running here hardware or software wise.The OBD Cable:
Using a $40 USB to OBD II I got on amazon I have full access to the car with Vida! Here is the link to the cable I purchased. https://a.co/d/0d95zNGW at the time of writing it is produced by the brand "lydesor" on amazon. Although I believe any USB to OBD II J2534 cable will do the job, just make sure to pick up a USB version and NOT the ethernet version, that is for newer cars!Thank you Zaan for the quick replies and hooking me up with the installer same day!

@ButterMackrel basically any J2534 compliant adapter will work. The problem with cheap ones like the one you advertised is that they might not work at all, can even damage your CEM the first time you plug them in, or will fail after some time as they don't have the correct internals/are build with low quality parts. The original Atmel chipset which can be found in the Super J2534/Mongoose Pro sold by D5T5 and it's partners costs much more than 40 Dollars. If an Mongoose adapter costs less than that it's 100% low quality. Most of those low price adapters are not even Mongoose clones. Instead they are crap like Vxdiag/Vxnano or Scanmatic SMII inside a mongoose shell.

can u send me the software download link,please? tristao.igor@gmail.com

@ZaanTerror thanks for the Link
-
Thanks for the software. If you're using a newer version of windows 11 you may have to manually download the .net framework from here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/dotnet-35-windows-11

NA is right.
The newest versions of Windows 11 require a seperate installer instead of installing a Windows feature.I have not implemented this to my installer because the new windows 11 is still in development/testing phase.
-
@ZaanTerror Do you mean 26H1/26H2?
I have just set up a new laptop with 25H2 and your latest version of VIDA. .NET was installed without needing to download the installer seperately. -
Yes 26H1 and later the .NET Framework windows feature is no longer included.
-
@ZaanTerror thanks for clarification.
Info added to the install guides -
How did you diagnose a 2018 ... in the list is only 2015-2016?
-
@volvov70freak after login in to VIDA you first open computer settings in the "Start" tab of VIDA and disable VIN decoding.
Than you open the "define vehicle profile" menu, check that "VIN decoding off" is written in red next to the VIN box,
Don't click on the read button!,
manually enter your VIN,
select your model,
select the latest model year available,
select your engine code, transmission and so on,
click on ok
Click on the Diagnostic tab and read your car as usual.
This only works on some P1s and P3s but not all.
If your engine isn't listed, you need to select a similar one which uses the same ECM hardware.
1.5 liter petrol engines and 7-speed automatic are not supported.
It's also described at the end of the install guides you can find here.
