OK, I've got the USB Redirector on my computer. I am at GMT-5. I am willing to get up early or stay up late to do this since you I am the one who's benefiting. The only times that would not be good for me are when I am at work or commuting. This would exclude 13:30 - 02:15 on weekdays in your time z...

Hi doublebug! I am now running 5.6.1 firmware on my DICE. My VIDA setup is 2010D and is running on an XP virtual machine. Let me know the next steps, and thanks again for your knowledge and assistance. Much appreciated!

Played around a little and clicked something that scared me to death (send prog). The dash suddenly went black and the car would not ...

I had the "Anti-spin service" message for months consistently. It always came on during the initial check shortly after ignition. I purchased a VIDA tool and read the following codes: BCM-0095 and DEM-0006. The first code usually means a dead DEM module and the second a bad pump. According...

Just a quick question about the "easier" drain and fill method mentioned earlier in this thread for anyone that's done it (find it at https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/tips.php#transflush2 ). It calls for draining the pan (approx. 3.5 liters) and then doing 3 or 4 successive drain and fill...
