New to Volvo. Few questions.

Nope. That's the least technologically advanced thing I own, lol. I've heard people have done it, but not with a pirated software with zero support.

VIDA doesn't play well with Internet Explorer 10. It won't run under Windows 7 after IE10 is installed.

The reason for the use of the GM transmission in the S80 was simple; the gearbox had to be super-compact to be able to fit behind a straight six and GMs 'box was the only one with the torque rating and size to fit at the time. How many other tranversely mounted straight sixes were there out there in 1999? They are very long motors.
We later learned it was ambitious to use these behind the turbo variant let alone the naturally aspirated one. By the way the GM gearbox is only a four speed. It was replaced by the TF80 five speed in 2008.
