VIDA DICE Diagnostic Tool a new OBD2

Post by Jot »

2000 S70 GLT
Has anyone tried the "VIDA DICE Diagnostic Tool" ? My OBD2 reader doesn't read the ABS faults . There appears to be two versions on DVD a 2000A and 2000D. Some sellers show only the 2 dvd's $60 while others show hardware with usually the 2000A disk $200. Does one need both disks and the hardware ? Is it easy to use ?

You can buy just the DVD but without the hardware device you can only use it to see diagrams etc.

To navigate the diagnostics and system configuration, you need to buy the whole VIDA DICE setup

A good way to read and erase ABS codes is with an Autel Maxidiag scan tool. You need to get the US703 or JP701 or EU702 model, they are all the same unit just different files preloaded, you can load the Volvo files on to whichever model you buy. I bought one of these last week for $150 on amazon but now they are $220, not sure what is up with that.
