VIDA 2012, 2013A or D version software should be installed on Win XP or Virtual machine. But 2014A and new 2014D requires Win 7 O/S ONLY. That’s a huge development for VIDA DiCE kit. Leave alone WIN xp or VirtualBox. I also run my VIDA in a XP virtual machine. No issues with mouse or USB, if you are familiar with VMware. Volvo 2014D VIDA Windows 7. When ordering your VIDA Subscription - be sure to select 'VIDA' from the VIDA Product drop down. If you are purchasing your FIRST VIDA subscription: After placing your initial subscription order you will receive an email once your VIDA Partner ID (Company ID, 8USXXXX), VIDA user name (J-DOE1) and temporary password are established at Volvo Car. Yep, pretty sweet. I used 2013A and made a Windows VirtualPC image for it (Win7 Ultimate, x64, MSIE 11 - got it all to work). I had set it down to 1MB RAM and stuff so anyone could start it and tweak the VPC settings to fit their performance requirements. For direct installs, just download the file 2014D Installer.7z. This file contains everything you should need to install including patches and updates. VMWare Virtual Machine Setup: 1.Download the virtual machine 7zip image. 2.Download VMWare Player or VMWare Fusion. This will depend on which OS you have running.
I know that VIDA/DICE is a big issue on the forum and has been covered many times, but I wanted to put down my experience while it is still fresh in my mind, and that it may help any out there who are struggling or are wondering whether to get a unit or not.
Once I got the VIDA/DICE unit I set about looking at the numerous posts that had been put on various forums, and I realised immediately that this was not going to be as easy as most software / hardware you buy off the shelves. However. my first challenge was to find a laptop with Win 7 professional on it. Luckily my son had a large desktop / laptop with it on and he let me do a fresh install and update. I then followed a YOUTUBE video for installation. (No instructions came with the device at all).
Following along, I got VIDA 2014D installed OK. I then rushed out to my car to try it out. When I plugged the DICE into the computer it searched for the drivers and eventually recognized the device. I then started VIDA, but it would not see the DICE unit. Just a box with a Red X in it.
OK so back to the forums to see what people did about that. I must have tried innumerable combinations of things and I was about to give up. As a last ditch effort I dug out an old Toshiba Laptop I had. This only had Vista Home Premium on it, but it was a 250GB drive, 4GB of RAM and an Intel Core DUO processor (P8600) which was way below the spec of my sons laptop, but adequate for VIDA. I searched on the WEB for the cheapest WIN 7 professional license I could buy and got one from Software GEEKS for £19.
I loaded the 32 BIT version as this is all the laptop could cope with. Followed some of the tips I had picked up on the forums, and loaded VIDA back up again. I went out this morning in the pouring rain to try and connect it to the car - hey presto - it worked. I have checked and cleared down the faults, including the SRS alarm. I am a very happy man. So below is the setup I used which worked for me and I hope it helps someone else out there who has been struggling.
1. I purchased a VIDA / DICE unit with the latest 2014D software. The VIDA unit has multicoloured lights on it. I had read on the forums that there were some out there with only Blue Lights and seemed to give problems.
2. Use WIN 7 professional 32 Bit and let windows do a full update (takes ages). You will certainly need to ensure that service pack 1 is installed. When mine was loaded and updated, it only had Internet Explorer 8 on it. I had to download and install IE9. VIDA 2014D would not load with only IE8 in place.
3. Download the latest version of JAVA
4. At this point I created a restore point in windows, so I could revert to this point should I have problems installing VIDA.
5. I then turned off User Account Control (UAC) and disabled the Windows Firewall.
6. Check that the only version of .net that you have is .NET 3.5. I had read that if you are on version 4 VIDA doesn't like it. (You can check the version in the registry editor in Windows)
7. I then loaded VIDA following this Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vel17o0RQW8
8. Once VIDA was proven to work, I then took the laptop out to the car and connected the DICE unit to the OBD2 socket and plugged it into the laptop. Windows searched for the drivers and installed them. When I opened VIDA up, I needed to enter all the car details in the Vehicle Profile section. This time the page also showed my DICE unit in the DICE configuration Box. With the vehicle details entered, the Diagnostics TAB activated and as long as the Ignition is in the II position, it will read all the onboard computers.
Why didn't this work for me the first time I tried it? I think it might be that VIDA / DICE didn't like the 64Bit version of Win7 Pro, although others may have got it working on that platform. I also think I got in a mess with the .net 3.5 vs the .net 4.5.
My thanks to all those on various Forums who have posted up their solutions. Most are for earlier versions of VIDA, and I didn't see many for the 2014D version that I bought.
It has been a long week messing around with this, but I am currently walking on air.
One final tip - while messing around with VIDA on the car the ignition is on. I would put the battery charger on while in this state as the battery soon runs down. I'm currently waiting for it to charge up so I can start the car!!!
Good Luck!!

If you are purchasing your FIRST VIDA subscription:
After placing your initial subscription order you will receive an email once your VIDA Partner ID (Company ID, 8USXXXX), VIDA user name (J-DOE1) and temporary password are established at Volvo Car Corporation in Sweden. This step is mostly automated but could take a couple of hours to fully process. You must wait for this email before trying to log into VIDA or VIDA Admin.

The email you receive will look similar to this:
Your Web Single Logon has been updated with the following information.
WSL: J-Volvo*
Password: rbX2(m6Go
The password above is a temporary, pre-expired password. You should NOT try to log into VIDA or WSLX without first changing this password. You MUST follow the link to change the initial password above: https://vccidm.volvocars.biz/
It is recommended to Copy and Paste password information when resetting.
*Note: Your Username and password for the volvotechinfo.com website is separate and different from what is provided for your VIDA subscription.
For first time Users - after you buy a 3 day subscription you will be emailed a VIDA User ID. It can take up to 3-4 hours for your User ID email (but is usually quicker). You MUST reset the password in the e mail RIGHT AWAY. Do not attempt to log into VIDA with the password from the email. Follow the DIRECTIONS in the email. Once you reset that password with your own new one you can wait as long as you want to activate the subscription. Follow the directions to install VIDA: Installation Instructions.

Activating the subscription in VIDA Admin the first time:
- Log into VIDA Admin, click onto Subscription tab, then your subscription name.
- Under the Properties tab, check the Activated box and Save **.

Note: If you are having a problem with a new subscription you buy, ordering another subscription does NOT correct the problem. Open a help request in VTI to resolve the issue.
Once you have purchased a bulletin or wiring diagram subscription, you can access the information via the PDF Viewing Library. Once you are logged in, hover your mouse pointer over Account in the menu bar at the top of the screen and click on the Viewing Library option in the sub-menu.
