REVIEW: WOW!!!! So easy!
Guys, I have been trying the different version of VIDA of the past years, mostly running on Virtual Machines, which sometimes did run fine, but also encountered problems and took a lot of time and reading and effort to get it working.
This makes getting VIDA a dream... it just worked straight out the zip file (I did have 3.5 Network installed already, not the one supplied with the ZIP). I also had my own drivers for the Mongoose interface installed. Running it on a Panasonic toughbook, i5, 16gb of ram.
I've also encountered many people selling their own easy install versions, and for quite a price too. Volvodiag offers a 5 dollar VM option, but again it's so much hassle.
Props to Zaan, this is what a good software tech can do, and in turn makes my life much easier. I don't want to spend hours figuring out if I have the right spec, right software, right verison etc. I just need the software so I can work on my car and get on with my life. This allows you to do that.
