#Which volvo vida dice to use for a s80 driver

A couple days ago I installed a linux driver that turned the ELM327 into a best effort CAN device. So I bought a cheap knock-off ELM327 OBD reader (not knowing it was not really suitable for CAN) and did some research. I am learning about CAN and the goal is to reverse engineer some CAN message so I could program some custom gagesВ or use steering wheel buttons in a raspberry pi based infotainment system. changed firewall to off and user account settings to off. Fussing with it for 2 days and finally figured out that since it was NOT my laptop i did not change notification settings. Got my DRL's turned off on the 05 V70R last night as well as SUM recalibration.Those are going to be for another topic. Your login info usually is in the readme file on the Vida disk you got.

Internet explorer will open up with Vida login.

You back from the read me file? Click on Vida-All-IN-One.

Once it goes green then follow the read me file.

You might also get a eupdate icon too, dont worry about that one.

Before you do what ever the readme files tells you to do, wait for the little vida icon in the task bar to go green.

You need to read the file that came with your Vida disk, usually a read me file

Once it reboots, here where you need to turn off the internet connection and things get sticky.

If it ask you to reboot Vida and Vida checks out.

if it does not error out it will take a good 15-20 minutes to install depending on your system.

choose the top choice that installs everything.

If you system meets requirements then it will get you to the three choices

there will be three choices when you get past the computing system requirements part.

I used 2011A, so i have no clue what other versions do or how they install. click on it and on the right you will see start up type highlighted on disabled.

Another window opens up and on the left it says SQL server Browser.

There will be two choices on the bottom Click on Services and connections.

Open Microsoft SQL Sever 2005, Configuration Tools, then open SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration.

Click next and next and next till it installs leaving everything default. Click on the 'X' for client components go down to 'Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive'. When it installed, the setup check for required files and once it past registration the next window was feature selection.

Install SQL Server 2005 Express another, i have no idea WTF it does.

Install MSXML 6.0, what it does i dont have a clue.

***NEW**** TURN OFF FIRE WALL AND USER Account Control Settings to OFF.

Load up a virgin Win7 Pro 32bit, dowsnt have to be a clean install, just something that never had SQL and XMl stuff installed before.

So you want Dice to scan your 99 and newer volvo? You want to disable the DRL's? You want to reset the SRS light because you remove the climate control unit in you 01+ S60/V70? You want VIDA so you can know how to repair your vehicle like the pro's do but in your garage at 2:00am? You just a tool whore? You have nothing else better to do and just want to have it just in case you may need it some day?
