Wondering about the dice units on ebay and the vida virtual machines online.

Specifically:

1. Can you check codes and program keys w/ the 2014 and earlier version of vida that's online at places like https://volvodiag.com/product/virtualbo ... windows10/? Do you need to buy the 3-day access from Volvo to use these vm's?

2. There are tons of dice units on ebay eg https://www.ebay.com/itm/126818581543 Is there a way to determine if the units are genuine (or at least functional copies?)

If there was a way, bad sellers would simply adopt that in their descriptions or photos, and then there wouldn't be a way again.

Search here... I think there were some good posts about not getting ripped off on DiCE recently. Or email me - I've got a contact here in Denver.

google "boot and go"
he can also answer your tech questions, he sells vida systems, dice and the cheaper jrl cable which cannot program keys far as I know but the dice might.

I bought my dice on ebay, this was before there was a chip shortage and they started using hybrid chips that aren't good.
I would stay away from ebay today.
