"I was able to clear the message. After replacing the VCM battery, I performed a factory reset on the center display (twice). Then I disconnected the battery ground cable for about 30 minutes. After reconnecting the cable, the message disappeared."
Good Luck!

Eles estão cobrando 75 euros só para conectar o VIDA ao carro, sem falar em fazer qualquer coisa. E aí eu vejo essas baterias custando entre 120 e 160 euros (originais da Volvo), enquanto a solução poderia (e deveria) ser uma bateria de 20 euros e uma simples reinicialização do software.
Enfim, espero que exista uma solução que não envolva a concessionária. Detesto o fato de não podermos usar o VIDA na Europa para uso pessoal.
Send me pm ! I have solution.

There is an OrBit function to do the reset, no need for this battery disconnect-wait cycle.

I believe he is referring to ECU reset procedure, not battery life reset, PIN is still needed...
RE: VCM-U105000 - Backup battery lifetime exceeded - BeachBoy - 03-03-2026
Yes need PIN, but there is a specific VCM battery reset function
Once you get the level 11 PIN:
Under ECU Tools
Select Active Diag ECU --> VCM
Select Set PIN on the left
Select PIN Level 11
Enter PIN
Click Save
-----
After that you reset the VCM battery life:
Under ECU Tools
Select Active Diag ECU --> VCM
Under Related Service Procedures
Select VCM BuB - Reset Backup Battery Lifetime
Click Run Service Procedure

yes, and it worked, I still plan to replace the battery.

Still no way to get VCM PIN for reset?
