Re: 2008 XC90 with door locks gremlins

I would like to revive this thread. I have this exact behaviour on my 2008 XC90, just as described by poster, on both front doors. Only minor difference is that mine self locks mostly when I get down and shut the door after a drive. Only on one or two occasions has it occurred when getting in. I ass...

Re: Using DiCE/VIDA with Volvo subscription in countries without Volvo representation

Thanks for the feedback, mrbrian200. Connecting through a VPN/US IP address only solves part of your problem. You're probably going to have a tough time finding someone with a US billing address to purchase a subscription for you, as that would be effectively disclosing their personal or business cr...

Re: Using DiCE/VIDA with Volvo subscription in countries without Volvo representation

Thanks SuperHerman. I have actually been in contact with Volvo regarding this. Their response was that they cannot provide any sort of support because they are not officially represented in Nigeria.

I see you are pretty knowledgeable on volvo engineering. i am particularly interested in the remote programming you did with Yagger. I sent you a PM on some issues i am currently dealing with on my 20...

Re: Using DiCE/VIDA with Volvo subscription in countries without Volvo representation
