Hi all,

I hope you're all keeping well!

Ive been looking at the software section of Vida Dice and wondered if it's possible to manually install the software update for ETM,ECM? I see where you get them from but I'm using a questionable copy from eBay so don't have credential to access the Volvo servers to buy said updates.

Has anyone had any luck with updating components using Vida using a uhummm copy?

If so does anyone have these files (updates) and if so I presume you can manually install them into Vida?

On another note I have read lots of posts online and here about reprogramming the CEM and some say it can be done with Vida and other say not as you need a PIN although it may be possible to clone the CEM??

Can anyone give a definitive answer if this can be done using Vida?

Thanks and if anyone has any good guides for the software process using Vida them please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Simon

My understanding


A full up,VIDA subscription from Volvo, yes. Too expensive for most of us, $1000 or so

With the bootleg version ypu buy from eBay, No.

Via Henry or Yagger here over internet, yes...for a nominal fee, approx $100
