How to Use Volvo VIDA DICE

Basic information on how to use the VIDA DICE system to read and reset fault codes, monitor your vehicle's parameters, and perform maintenance tasks. I also have examples of how to reset the maintenance warning and engage the parking brake service mode.

[@gavin9038]

This is the best VADIS tutorial on KZbin, I just learned a load of useful tips. Many thanks and all the best for 2018!

[@michaelbresnahan3696]

Thanks! Awesome video on how to use VIDA. Very useful, learned more about VIDA in the 9 minutes of this presentation than the previous 9 months of having the program!!

[@902TJ]

Thank you. Very helpful video for the first time I used ViDA.

[@a1scratter]

Excellent tutorial thank you!

[@TheDIDSBIAK]

thank you for sharing. I did purchase the VIDA DICE a short time ago. After installing and trying I actually didn't know how to operate this at all. Now watching your vid makes it all clear. Thanks

[@tobybull6574]

Fantastic video, now I can change the rear brake pads and rotors 😁

[@russturri6442]

[@izyfication]

Great video thank you for sharing that 👍🏻

[@1506pinkers]

Great stuff! Thanks very much.

[@SUPERSONICCULEBRA]

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing.

[@orjaneriksson394]

looks nice but impossible to install :(

[@delboynz1]

Not impossible - just tricky. NEEDS Win 7 (can be made to run on 10 but thats even trickier) and needs sufficient disk space. If you have a good install of Win 7 Pro it's not so difficult.

Very Helpful

[@timosan2020]

Love it thanks! Can I ask for a vid on upgrading something for example upgrading headlights from halogen to xenon? Or adding a towing hook?

[@wintgensdidier4714]

Thank you for this very interesting video. I was interested in the possibility offered by the service mode of the PBM to change the brake pads (explained from 07:05 of the video). I bought the equipment for my V40 D2 but unfortunately, this car doesn't have the PBM module :(. On the other hand, with the BCM module, it's possible to interact on an individual brake piston with inlet/outlet valves and on the master cylinder. Could a geek tell me if it is possible to use these features to facilitate the change of brake pads wheel by wheel ? Thanks in advance for your tips.

[@eomutlu63]

Thanks for useful video. With vida dice can I check if there is any electricity leakage in the car?

[@georgestrang1599]

Hi I've just bought one of these to help with a low fuel pressure issue. But when it's plugged in it doesn't rad vin or engine number. Just wondered if you had any ideas?

[@DZAntiSioniste]

Good And loVe VolVo

[@worldexplorerPL]

does this program support the functions of adding a new remote control?

[@yeahbuddy6852]

Hey Great video man! Do you know how to force vnt arm on turbo from vida?

[@Volvoamazon62]

Hi, why is the fault frequency of the mass airflow sensor 'high'. You unplugged it for the video only right?

[@pauljohnsson2927]

Sir i was wondering since I have a 2006 v50 and I've added front fog lights because it was pre wired and i replaced the light switch box to the incl button dedicated for this front fog light. Still the button would not activate, I was then told I need to have software upgraded also for this feature to work. So my question is will the vida dice clone and software activate it permanently, or temporary for diagnostic purposes only? Sry if I'm being confusing with my question, hope u understand. Thanks!

[@viliuzk]

@Rob Smith can you show how to check your real mileage with vida dice ? when odometer has been manipulated.

[@florinf8472]

Hi there from Europe. Nice video. Any idea why on my Vida on Diagnostics -> Vehicle Communications -> ECM, on the list of things there, its missing A/C Compressor and A/C pressure?

[@okamorah8251]

I just replaced my door speakers (for now). I plan on connecting the speakers to a new after market amplifier. My question is, can I disable the car's Audio Control Module (AUD) with VIDA? Since I replaced the OEM receiver with a Kenwood, many of the Error Faults I get are audio related. My goal is to have an independent sound system. Thanks, and you all stay safe enough.

[@Pelinas]

Great video, and very informative, the only reason I am looking to purchase one Vida, is to enable remote engine start, my car is 2012 Volvo xc60, from your experience, do you think i be able to ?? Thanks

[@piotekivideos]

Is it possible to unlock some software functions in my volvo xc60 2018 using vida? I am especially interested in unlocking active cruise controll. I have all of the hardware sensors etc. but this option in unfortunately locked in software so it doesnt show up in drivers menu.

[@muddskipper]

Could I use this to modify the ECU’s effect on A/F ratios?

[@MTL_Rider]

Is there a way to first get all the latest firmware for the modules and do it through Vida. I was told it can be expensive to go to the dealer to get all the modules update?

[@123bernave]

can you use this Vida Dice by pass relearn the etm in v70 Volvo you know ?

[@bryencass8260]

Hey, I picked up some OEM fog lights at the local junk yard for my ‘05 S40. Will Vida Dice be able to “activate” these?? What about software? Dealer wants $189 plus $89 software purchase.

[@rolandsun3516]

Hello, can "injector confirmation" software be somehow added to Vida?

[@neculaiflorea3468]

Can you programming the CEM on a Volvo S40 T5 2004 2.5 turbo petrol?

[@CIA_Is_aTerrorist_Orginization]

the caliper piston can be retracted with a tool but this works too

[@jonpulicicchio5000]

A question. Id Dice specific to the model and year? Vida only reads FT232R USB VART when the dice is plugged into the usb port. I have a steady red light on the firmware section of dice. Any help would be appreciated

[@highvoltage12v]

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the wheel diameter size within Vida? For a P2 S60.

[@dmillerfamily]

can you program keys with this for a 2007 xc90? or is there another step?

[@dougtredy856]

Are you able to determine if 1 of the cams are off?

[@ehjones]

Can you activate the trip computer with VIDA DICE?

[@jessedorsettii9988]

Where did you purchase yours. Seems all of them online are from China and the forms say the discs are clunky or the machine is burned out, etc. Could you direct me to a place that has quality, not junk?

[@philippm2356]

Thanks! Now I just need to figure out why my car won't be read in vehicle read or diagnostics even though the dice test was positive...

[@maticsorn2784]

ok now this is awosame.. i neven knew there is any program better than vcds... how much does it cost (i had vw and im buying a volvo v70 ..and first thing i need to do is instal usb port in it.)

[@davidck1]

is this the same system for new v90 and how much does it cost

[@user-uy1ng5kr1n]

Good.. May I inquire from you.. Does this OBD work on Asian Korean cars... Thank you

[@biringen]

What is the system recuirements and how do you get a user in vida

[@kingprimeXL]

What about interior lights cause mines does not come off at all

[@iliasmardakis2714]

One question. Am I able to change the car language from swedish (imported to the Netherlands) to US english? I would like to avoid the ASO... The question refers to the item you sell, and I think I will purchase.

[@vass5856]

please make a video how to register a battery. very important i cant find anywhere else. thanks

[@swright6784]

Hi Rob, good clear video and information. Where do I get hold of the device/software? Would rather buy from a recommended source. Many thanks,

[@rob_smith]

There are several sellers on ebay, as long as they have good reviews you should be fine. There isn't a store to buy the hardware from as it is a Chinese ripoff, the real hardware would cost a fortune from Volvo as it is intended for dealer shops.

[@Rieju05mrx]

i did buy this vida dice 2014D but i cannot choose communication tool Its just a blan space there like thers nothing conneted? any thoghts on whats wrong ? Sorry for bad ENglish i am a swede

[@pattanakit]

To fix this, make sure you use IE8 and Net Framework 2.0. your PC may have later versions installed.

[@jlagant9]

Can you use this to reprogram the ECU? Perhaps squeeze out a bit more horsepower?

[@g1243902]

Not on the clones as far as I am aware.

[@kevinfitzpatrick2625]

can i use this on a 1998 volvo v70

[@rnguy350]

Where do I buy one? Take my money!

[@piotrpytkowski1542]

Do you know how to change langage the car usin vida? - my car spoke in geramn langage...

[@josebellvis8892]

I have a DICE unit and Volvo vida 2014D, I select off in the seatbelt warning options and click on the programming button but nothing happens, my car continues yelling at me if I don't have the seatbelt fasten. Do you know what I am doing wrong? With the system I've been able to read fault codes, to move certain actuators, but it can't switch off this warnings... Please help me!

[@meconlimited3896]

Just use your seatbelt if you curl your car around a tree with no seatbelt on you will be thrown around as if you are in a blender the crash won't kill you, but the airbags will

[@svtguy02]

What cable to use??

[@cornishrob123]

Silly question do you need a Internet connection

[@macromaker]

Hello, I'd like to know if with this device is it possible to make unavailable configs to be available, I'll explain: my Volvo C30 (2007) does have power door mirrors, which can be folded/unfolded pressing the button. The 2009 model has the option of "Automatic folding", which says: When the vehicle is locked/unlocked with the remote control or with the optional keyless, the power door mirrors with automatically fold in or out. This function can be activated/deactivated in Personal settings. In the menu system, go to Car settings Fold mirr. when locking. My question is, is it possible to enable this option in my 2007 C30 with the DICE system? At the moment, this option does not appear in the menu. Thanks!!

[@rob_smith]

macromaker No way to know without connecting the software and testing, I don't have a C30 available. My guess would be no, as there is probably a different version of the software running on the new car which enables the option.

[@jasper_north]

Where do I download this?.

[@bryencass8260]

Hi, Can I use this software to add the fog lights to my 05 S40? I picked these up at the junk yard and was told I need to go see the dealer to update CEM. Wondering if I can skip around the dealer by using this tool?

[@ToxicwasteProductions]

is there a way to remove the low beam error message when running led lights?

[@pattanakit]

Do you need internet connection during diagnostic modules?

[@rob_smith]

Thanat Pattana No, an internet connection isn't required.

[@pattanakit]

Thanks!

Es posible encontrar esto en Español??

[@angelgrazdani29]

Where do you buy this program? And well it work for 2016 volvo xc90 ?

[@jameseaston9201]

Vida dice is designed for Volvos made prior to 2016. I think 2015 is the latest. After this they introduced a new system. Try Vdash but may not get all functionality as it’s Volvos newest software.

[@AndyO1965]

Where could I find the regeneration cycle from my particle filter?

[@rob_smith]

Sorry, I don't have a diesel to check. Just search through all the component menus and that information has to be somewhere in the software.

[@SB-yc4kv]

Hi! Can I enable/disable DDM or PDM with this software? Volvo v50 D2 2011... The DDM It doesn't work at all. The left rear door is completely locked. I can only open the windows with the key. I checked all the fuses and cables. Nothing... Nobody knows where the problem is... Thanks!

[@meconlimited3896]

I am pretty sure you can, funny enough the dealer told me that it can be replaced (of course) for a shit load of money with out knowing the diagnostic. Get one of the dice and install it on your PC or laptop and have a play with it a world will open up for you

[@merazjam12]

What about programming volvo remotes or keys?

[@amthevision8931]

+1 I'd like an in depth tutorial on required purchases and walkthrough for this

[@mrconta]

how can i get this program?

[@vargurlord]

You cant shut the seatbelt reminder totally, you can just disable the loud sound.

[@carlosmartinezDP]

can i connect this program through obd2 wireless device? thanks in advance

[@deerhunter8533]

Any j2534 compliant interface will work

[@cruzanbum3108]

Is this also Mac compatible?

[@steamtrainrollon2060]

Does anyone know the software he uses?

[@macromaker]

Hello, Does the engine have to be running to diagnose or does it work with all the systems running but before turning on the engine?

[@rob_smith]

The engine does not have to be running, but the ignition needs to be in the on position (not just the normal accessory on, by fully on). From personal experience, this will drain your battery really fast if you don't have the engine running.

[@ABRROB2008]

My car is been sitting for 2 years due to NO crank NO start and the dealer saying CEM is bad /key not stored in CEM is there a way to reprogram my keys using Vida dice?

[@PiotrK2022]

+macromaker No, you need only turn on computer, so you have to set key on ignition position and you're in...

[@ABRROB2008]

***** how do i turn on computer please i need help. ...i'm not a mechanic

[@PiotrK2022]

+ABRROB2008 I wrote you how... Set key on igition position and that's it...

[@JosephYoussefOfficial]

Can I install software updates on my 2015.5 S60 with Vida?

[@nyc1dxo537]

Joseph Youssef You must go to the dealer.

[@eddmax_dj]

How do I change the language on a Volvo?

[@Psqwall]

So wait does this mean you can't change your brake pads or rotors without this software ?

[@rob_smith]

Using this software is the official way to do it. There are work-arounds to release the parking break without this software. For example, you can manually connect 12 volts to the motor and get it to back off the brake. The Volvo forums have different options people have used.

[@Steindalen]

Anyone who knows if this can DTC and reset the Webasto heater on 2006 Volvo XC90? Or any help is appreciated :-)

[@lakelandcarkeys]

Does vida work with j2534?

[@couldmehaveop3989]

Yes I have the same cable I did have to install a driver for Vida to communicate with the car tho

[@MrTaliz]

I have a V60 2014 D4 and I plug DICE in, load up VIDA, and it read and finds the car etc. I can go to diagnostics and update, and it reads everything. But it says fault on engine, gearbox etc. When I click on fault trace VIDA becomes unresponsive and doesnt show anything. Any ideas why this could be? I'm running VIDA 2014D

[@MrTaliz]

Nevermind, it started working when I went to some other tabs like "network" before going to "fault trace".

[@mandragora2012]

Hi. I have problem . After start program I haven't window " communication tool" . I have only words " communication tool" but I haven't window with name of tool. Some one can help me, please?

[@lonetraveler5660]

Go to control panel, program, turn on off program features, unclick internet explorer 11, then go to installed updates, uninstall IE11. Restart. Now it should be IE8. And your problem should be solved

[@venomtailOG]

The "erase all" codes made my codes dissapear however after a few seconds of clicking continue, all of the codes appear back again.

[@troo_story]

That will be because the faults are live and recurring.

[@amthevision8931]

It's a permanent/hard code meaning it won't go away until repairs are done. Be glad, you know that your device is functioning properly and codes are coming back.

[@pawelp9864]

where did you buy this from?

[@PiotrK2022]

+Pawel P Hi, u can buy it via chineese shop, ie ebay,alliexpres, etc... But remeber - Vida needsWindows 7 Professional 32 or 64 bit and you have to install it on C drive, so you need 30GB of free space on this partition. I tried install on Windows 7 Home Premium and installation returned an error... On Windows 10 probably doesn't work too.

[@iitywyswm]

Pawel P I'm not positive about this but my guess would be if you right clicked on setup and chose run as administrator. it might work with the home version of win7. There is also a command you can run that will enable the the administrator account.

[@jonesgerard]

I bought it today, fully installed on a DELL laptop on swedespeed forums, $180. Bought the DICE interface $90) from Amazon and just plugged it in, it works. Runs in win7Pro. I have an Autel handheld scanner, its ok but VIDA is the only way to fly for volvo's.

[@zabihussaini07]
