bloody hell!!! why dont it give you the option,its a uk market car...grrrrrrrr
and er...wots dice software????

Dice (if i spelt it right) is the software they use to activate/deactivate various features on the car as wrll as diagnosis and fault clearing. Not cheap which is why stealers charge 25-50 quid for it.
Perhaps the car has had some work done which upset the dim, maybe even a replacement dim OR the car was used/registered in Europe for a while.

I bought a DiCE in December off eBay. £150 all in, including Vida 2011a the latest software. I have got to get it to work on my computer. It runs on win xp & IE8. I don't have any of these installed. I think I will buy a cheap lap top with xp or research if win 7 pro will run the program. I have only got to use it 3 times to break even. Well worth getting one.

When I get it working it will always be taken to meets to see if I can help anyone out. Might take a month or so.
