    Vida login

    I had got Vida installed and running on a pc I bought for the job, but it has been in a cupboard for months.

    Come to use it now and popping in the Username as admin (from the read.me file and the Chinese video) to login does not work!!!

    Username:

    Problems with log in?
    Please contact your local helpdesk

    VIDA Version: VIDA2014D


    Any idea. How do people ever use this stuff. Endless posts on the web with people giving up with it!

    And I had it working...............

    Jon it sounds like your Vida is out of date. There is a patch that you can download and this changes the date of expiry. All details of this are on the Volvo owners club forum.

    Ah thanks Anthony, I did see one post on a forum saying this (it said see below link to thread on that, but then no link!).

    Found this on Swedespeed. http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthr...iration-123117

    32bit:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WyR...oUGzhlhKp/view

    64bit:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZFv...bMfkOdRrs/view

    I presume my old Dell Win 7 pc will be 32 bit.

    I presume I just run the respective exe and then start Vida again using the same old admin userid. See how that goes.

    Might drop you a PM on something else.

    Now get Unknown Error; Please contact you Helpdesk.

    This was after I tried the REGISTRATION GUIDE FOR SUBSCRIPTION and popping in ADMIN and admin.

    This really is a ££££ing joke.

    downloaded both, and ran the 32 bit one, the one with 2030 in the title, get a dos pop-up quickly. Retry, seems to take longer (the green bars), but ultimately the same, no joy. Rebooted post running the exe patch and the same again!

    When I said my VIDA was working, I meant I could log on (reloaded the whole thing from scratch). But never got to the car with it with the DICE USB unit.

    When I do that it will not see unit / car when I do read car. The blue USB light is not coming on.

    As I reinstalled maybe there is a step to make this sync?

    Need as car now developed a bizarre idle issue and does not seem quite right when driving (not far off, but not right). Idles at 1300-1400 no not 800 and slow to come down to that when lifting off or stationary.

    Occurred after changed out a new TCV (on next drive of it a day later), but think coincidence as plugged original back in and doing just the same!

    Any ideas? To get Vida to see DICE unit?

    Have you installed the USB drivers? This is done seperately by searching the VIDA directory after installation.

    Hi Lee
    gonna do that now. I had to uninstall the Vida to get it working again and then run the patch (license runs out end of 2017), get it started but did not see the DICE unit.

    So hopefully I'll find in the folder. Thanks.

    tried that. Found the exe, ran and then reread the read me and once more run as admin, neither made any difference and when plugged into car and hit read vehicle the blue light is never on!

    Maybe the DICE is stuffed!!

    Think I plugged Anthony's into my pc / vida one time and his worked!

    Right. When you open VIDA, does the VIDA icon (next to the clock) turn from yellow to green? It needs to be green. Takes about 1 minute to fire up.

    Once it's green, plug in the USB cable to the laptop (You need the DICE powered up by plugging it into the EOBD port). Do you get the windows noise, when you plug in a USB device?

    If so, then Windows is seeing the device but the drivers, if not installed correctly, will mean the DICE won't work.

    Once it's plugged in, go into the Device manager in Windows and see if you can see the device. It should say 'DICE USB device' or something like that. It should also not have an exclamation mark next to it. You can check in Device manager to see if the device is working. If it is, then it should work!

    If the device is not recognised by Windows, then you need to install the drivers from within Windows Device manager. Search the folder for the correct USB drivers for your laptop. Make sure your installing the correct ones - 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64).
    Your system will need more than 4GB RAM for it to work on a 64-bit systemand VIDA will not work unless more than 4GB.

    Hi

    Im just bumping this topic up as I went to the cars today to run the VIDA on the D5 I just bought that has a cruise fault. I plugged in the laptop as usual booted it all up, went to LOGIN put in the code............NOTHING??

    recorded a video on the iphone but cant seem to upload it here?

    Anway the progress bar starts to load maybe three bars then jumps back to a blank slot again or I get "unexpected fault contact your helpdesk"???

    The DICE is flashing the right LED's but thats as far as I get?

    So Im stuffed - NO DIAGNOSTICS

    The same as the OP mine WAS working perfectly now nothing? Its just been sat in the house in a safe place since last use battery kept charged - I reckon they put a 'time destroy' on these programs at a certain time they ALL stop working?

    (Going to try a few things Lee has listed!)

    If you haven’t done so, you need to patch The Vida software.
    Then it will work.

    Found out last nice that the laptop doesnt appear to even be SEEING the Dice?? When plugged into the car the LED's are all dancy happily but no software link LED?

    Where are these patches found online please? I am the same as the OP bought a pre-programmed laptop with all the gear on it including wiring diagrams, you name it! I wonder if its the SAME person selling these laptops knowing they will work for maybe 1 or 2 diags THEN totally go FUBAR??

    Now that's the synical in you

    I'm going to speak to someone I know next week and I'll ask if you can have a 'one to one'. Cos you ain't gonna fix your issue here mate.

    Jellison, have you fixed your VIDA/DICE yet or would you like help too?

    When you plug in the DICE to the laptop, is it recognised in the device manager?

    No I put the device manager up and no sign of it in the list! So more wrong than I thought. As I bought the laptop preloaded I cant delete windows and do a reload as I dont have the original Windows 7 disc. I do have the disc for VIDA though.

    There is nothing else on there except VIDA. Im getting a green light on the 'traffic lights to say VIDA is running but I cant login?
