From the link above provided by Rick Hale Parker: "Charges apply for new software required as part of a repair or accessory installation." Also: "If you had an aftermarket control unit installed and it was not the correct part number for the specific build date of your Volvo this will affect the software. If it were available you would be back to trying to foil Volvo's security measures.

You can't do software upgrades as an independent person with 2015 because it's not available to the public. There is no way to get VIDA 2015- working without a VIDA subscription which is too cost cost prohibitive for DIY. In 2015 Volvo moved the database from a local server (localhost) to a internet based server. It won't hurt to read all the way through the thread, there are a few tweaks in there that are not included in the RePack. Your find everything you need here on page 1 and page 6. For your 2002 V70 2.4T your best path is use the 2014D_RePack.

The RePack is script based install that is the accumulation of all or most of the hacks that where done in the past.Ģ014D was written in 2015 and does include at least the first quarter data for 2015 cars. Back then there where a lot of issues due to the issues of IE11 being written for Windows 8 and VIDA 2014D had installer setting that would only allow it to be installed on Windows 7 pro. The community figured out hack the local server settings so that it run without any external connections or a VIDA subscription. If not, will the knock-off DiCE units be allowed to use the subscription service for 2015?īefore 2015 the VIDA database was distributed on DVD.

If I do order one of the knock-off DiCE units from ebay/amazon/AliExpress, is it possible to still get subscription to download software for my 2002 V70 2.4T via using 2014D?. If I am understanding correctly, 2014D is the last "offline" installation, and 2015 is "all online" and requires a subscription. I'm considering getting VIDA and a DiCE module, but before I jump in, I'm trying to make sure I understand the difference between 2014D and 2015. I'm actually an IT Director for a large IT services company here in the US, and before that I was a senior infrastructure engineer.so installing and troubleshooting PC software doesn't bother me. Let me preface this by saying I'm a computer geek - I fully understand Windows and VMware (for those of you familiar with the posting about running VIDA as a Virtual Machine).
