Volvo has been tightening down over time on the use of US consumer VIDA subscriptions (volvotechinfo) outside the US and on non-US cars.
You will find it is not possible now. Over time Volvo has added more restriction to the process:
You must buy the subscription with a US credit card
If you log in to VIDA from a non-US IP, your VCC ID (The VIDA login) will be later suspended
If you connect a non-US VIN, your VCC ID will be later be suspended
You now cannot order software for a non-US VIN through US VIDA (using the volvotechinfo account to order)
Currently it's not possible to use the US consumer VIDA on a non-US car to order and run the config test needed to get the PIN. You'd need to get access to VIDA another way, very friendly dealership or independent shop with VIDA, I know that is hard to come by! We do offer the "PIN Service" for that reason.
