Remember, all this work with VIDA requires the car be in key-position II (or “on”) so that every module in the car is powered, whether or not you’re actually talking to that module or not.

Then there’s a window of maybe 5-10 minutes of “moderately semi-safe” time, and after that, I’d say you risk a download not working properly.

Doing it this way, I get maybe 10 minutes of time with the battery at what I’d call a “safe” voltage for doing software downloads. I get away with this because I know the health status of my particular battery and because I’m a risk-taker. Then rather quickly, I turn the key back to (II, aka “on” but without engine running), re-connect my VIDA/DiCE rig, and then simply hit the “install” button to push the already downloaded software updates to the car. Aka, both seat-heaters, the radio, the climate control (fan on high), the rear-defrost, headlights, fog lights, etc… When I get back, I kill everything (fan, radio, lights, etc) before I turn the engine off. During this drive, I turn on absolutely every electronic component I can. Next, I take the car for a spirited ride around town, or even better, a 15-20 minute burn down the highway. Then I disconnect my VIDA/DiCE rig, but leave VIDA open and running on the computer.

Then with the car still connected, I pay for the software, and get it downloaded to VIDA, but I don’t install it to the car yet. Personally, since I’m cheap, and relatively poor, here’s my workaround: After driving the car for a bit, I do whatever diagnostic work I need to within VIDA/DiCE, and decide on whatever software packages I might need.
Vida dice not recognized update#
– If you download a software update that’s already applied (aka, not needed), you still have to initially pay, but you can get a refund afterwards as long as it wasn’t actually downloaded to the car (which it won’t be if you already have the latest) – You can manually enter a software part number not listed in the available software list, but don’t necessarily expect it to actually download to your car. VIDA cannot do it directly for some stupid reason. – On 2004 model-year Volvos (and perhaps other older models), to update the level of dimming in the rear-view mirror, you must download a software package called “Auto dimming contd. – If you plan on updating a number of modules, the “Total CAN Reload” is the most cost-effective option. But who cares, you paid, therefore, demand what you need and it’ll get sorted out. Again, they tend to only work with Dealers, and don’t seem overly keen about anyone else using their system. VolvoTechInfo support is also not very pleasant to deal with. I imagine so very few people use VIDA/DiCE on their own that they simply overlooked a few items. I had to specifically open trouble-tickets with VolvoTechInfo to get a few packages unlocked that were initially dealer-only. – Not every package listed in the available software list can be installed.

– I’m not gonna go into great detail here, as this PDF pretty much says it much all: …e_ordering.pdf – Open “Vida All in One”, login with the username/password you assigned to VIDA via the VIDA-Admin setup process

– If you haven’t already, reboot your machine (or virtual machine) to make sure everything is installed correctly and happy. Always make sure it’s updated to the latest version before attempting to download software. Aka, VIDA-2012D has at least 3-4 sub-revisions. – Allow VIDA to “eUpdate” to the latest sub-version. Also make sure your DiCE device is updated to the latest firmware with the DiCE firmware tool. – Make sure you have the DiCE software/drivers installed. (how to do this last step is not immediately obvious, but on VolvoTechInfo there are step-by-step guides to help) – Via the VIDA-Admin, enter your login details you were emailed, change your password, and authorize the VIDA installation you plan to use with the subscription package you purchased – Install VIDA (this may take some time, especially on older hardware) – Wait for your VIDA login details to be emailed to you – Either download the latest copy of VIDA from a torrent (making sure it’s a copy that doesn’t have a “crack” already installed) or wait for the official DVDs to arrive via snail-mail – Purchase a 3-day VIDA subscription from VolvoTechInfo (aka, Volvo Technical & Owner Bookstore)
