VADIS

Post by anbran »

Could anyone recommend a source for me to purchase a VADIS cd. I've noticed them on Ebay, but I don't know which ones are legit?!

'98 V70 and '99 XC70

Thanks

None of them on eBay are "legit" but they are all the same. There has been a torrent on Pirate Bay and bittorrent for years and the eBay sellers just download the program and then burn the DVDs.

Oh yes, very informative. How to Install and Use VADIS.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Hi Mike,

I'm just south of Kitchener. If you are ever out this way, drop me a PM. I have a VADIS DVD set I purchased from Ebay a while back that you are welcome to try out.
