Re: Move Vida to Chrome to avoid conflicts

IE Tab became a paid subscription ($39 USD per year) which seems like a lot of money for such a simple addon. Will this method be updated in the near future so we don't have to pay for IE Tab?

Adjustment of pre-tensioning piston on a steering rack of a P2 volvo

Hey guys, I've been doing some research on the adjustment of the pre-tensioning piston on the steering rack, also called the yoke damper. I have a 2001 S60 T5 with the SMI branded rack. I tried looking through forums and I didn't find much, especially for Pre ZF rack cars. Only thing I found on yout...

Bosch Alternator frankestein?

I have the opportunity to buy a 140A Bosch AL0854X for a really good price because of a customer that backed out. Only issue is, it's made for 05+ cars with the ECU controlled voltage regulator... If I remove that ecu controlled voltage regulator and install my original 140A self regulating bosch vo...

Re: Volvo VIDA J2534 Cable vs DICE?

Just found this "ford" mongoose clone and I thought it would be the same as the volvo one but after looking at the ford pinout from drewtech's website, it probably wouldn't work. It would've been cool though, almost half the price of the JLR clone. Screen Shot 2022-03-15 at 11.34.48 PM.png...

Re: Volvo VIDA J2534 Cable vs DICE?

I was on windows 7 pro & vida 2015A when I wasn't able to communicate with the ECM. Was your W7 in a VM too, also what browser / level? All a bit academic I suppose, but might be useful for future reference. W7 Pro VM/Vida 2015A tried it with IE and Google chrome. Just follow trixeo's step by s...

Re: Volvo VIDA J2534 Cable vs DICE?

From Rick's screenshots it looks like he uses the IETab extension to make it work. You need IE Tab in Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Rick I happen to find your isoview solution for higher res screens (https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=83834&start=80) but the isoview link is do...

Re: Volvo VIDA J2534 Cable vs DICE?

Update, after making another Virtual machine with windows 10 pro following Trixeo's tutorial on Swedespeed, everything is working. Only thing I'm dealing with right now is the weird aspect ratio :lol: I'll swap it over to Google and see if that solves it. Great news, glad that you got it working! S...

Re: Volvo VIDA J2534 Cable vs DICE?

Anyone near you with a p2 you can try? I would offer my fleet but I’m down here in the deep south of Ontario. OrangeX is near Montreal I believe. Yeah I have a buddy that wanted to buy the second one I got so I'll let him try it out with the same virtual machine I made and then let him try with his...

Re: Volvo VIDA J2534 Cable vs DICE?

So I tried both V160's and I also tried using Vida through IE to make sure it wasn't my chrome addon, I still have the same issue. ECM is not responding. I pulled out my Foxwell scanner and was able to connect to the ECM, read codes, even read the ECM software number, etc. I really doubt that I have...
