To be clear, there are two versions of V1DA. V1DA 2014D, is the cracked version, all us DIY guys (and some shops) use… as you don’t need to pay anything to login, scan, look up info, adjust settings, run calibrations, etc (everything except software updates.) Works for 1999-2015.5 cars. This is usually what folks are after. Computer systems that run just… Continue reading There’s two versions of V1DA? Which one do I use?

Yes, and no. V1DA 2014D…. no you cannot. You can do everything EXCEPT update software on the car. Don’t confuse this though, you can do a lot. Any calibration, setting adjustment, reset of this or that, or maybe run a fuel pump test, sweep the gauges, test the voltage at just about every electronic connection… Continue reading Can I do programming on my car?

Here’s all the programs you’ll get with our systems (BOOT&GO or a complete laptop):

V1DA 2014D is the last stand-alone V1DA that was made. It will not be updated. (NOTE: Some re-sellers out there are claiming they have V1DA 2015A…. this is fake…. there is no 2015A. What they have done is hacked the program and made it display “2015A” instead of “2014D”. But there is not extra usability… Continue reading Are there updates to programs?

Short answer: Not likely. This is factory software, built by V0lv0, to interface with 1999+ V0lv0’s. Something would have to go SERIOUSLY WRONG. Over the last several years, we have equipped over 1500 users with this system and have not heard of a single case where this has damaged a car.

Instructions for use are provided to every customer. These are summarized and meant to get you off the ground. Every system does include the very detailed user’s manuals (made by V0lv0) for both V1DA 2014D and DICE, if you choose to go through them. V1DA is actually pretty easy to use once you get the… Continue reading How do I learn how to use V1DA?

I was asked , “What is The difference between Initial State, Unselected CSC and Delivery when fault finding in V1DA?” Well… Initial State is a list of codes from the modules and they are stored in V1DA, if V1DA is not used correctly Initial State can be totally misleading. This is why most people ask… Continue reading In V1DA what is “Initial State” , “Unselected CSC” , “Delivery” and why should I care ?

This is of course the most common question for a new Volvo owner, and I’m going to limit this answer to 1999-2015 models supported by V1DA 2014D . 1st off, let me say there are some really good alternatives to V1DA  / DiCE . Icarsoft’s hand helds are great, Autell stuff seems good and cheap and… Continue reading What do I actually need to read and clear my Fault Codes ?
