I just read my V50.
in which file is PIN the CEM .
At what address, is it explicit in the binary ../?

That's your answer to everything ....can it be done with Vida? I fixed a burnt circuit on the board. It's running now so I may do a CEM reload or upgrade...xemodex wanted 650$ basically, when your done with shipping, so that wasn't in my friend's budget..

Software updates can be done with a VIDA subscription from Volvo using a compatible DICE unit. Pirate VIDA can not update or load software. There is a lot of noise on the forums about clone DICE units no longer working with a VIDA subscription, but that appears to be a problem for some clones with some chipsets. There are many posts on other forums where users are successfully using clone DICE units connected to Volvo-VIDA.
The discussions around the forums cite the warning on the Volvo Bookstore site about not allowing clones, and Volvo cites the Service Manager Bulletin dated back in 2010
Here's a thread where a user tried to update the whole CEM package and ran into difficulty because the battery died. He was using a non-DICE interface that worked as long as there was battery power.

Volvo is going to discontinue "allowance" of the pirate DiCE units altogether, soon.

That's very unvolvish: get something done, yet complain =) Drink some cold brännvin and enjoy your successful experience.

Actually, if you download VDASH, For around $20.00US it updates the firmware with a serial number so it appears as an authentic DICE to VIDA.

I'm sorry I came across as complaining. I'm just really glad it works so nicely. I was just wondering if maybe I was wrong about a setting, why it was slow. because I saw people talking about 15 min cracking time. I thought I'd done something wrong.
thank you for your effort

SAMPLES directly affect the time it takes for the algo to crack the pin. Numerous P1 people reported successful cracks with SAMPLES as low as in single digit (maybe even 1 or 2, I forgot). 15 minutes is SAMPLES=30. Your time is most likely SAMPLES=100.

I cracked a CEM-L on SAMPLES=2 but it was not reliable.
