i am in need of help, i live in Europe/Norway, and i want to have vida as help to update the softwares on my car volvo xc90 t8 2017, but i have been in contact with the Volvo Car Bookstore and they have told me that i can`t have vida unless i live in either canada or the united states, is there a way that anyone can help me with this problem, i have talked to Volvo Car Bookstore but they said either canada or united states, i have orbit as well but that is not much help either,
Acquiring VIDA in Europe through an independent registration office is possible; I've already done so, however, it's limited, only allowing access to diagrams/services, reading DTCs, and simple activations. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow for car/module updates.
Now that kind of blows my mind. Why would it ONLY be available here? I thought Europe had all kinds of consumer protections in place and we get access, but no one else does? Does this mean a Volvo indy mechanic can't access Vida either? So you HAVE to go to a dealer for this kind of stuff?
thank you for understanding what i meant, at the dealer they pressure you to pay 600-1000 dollers just for small things that don`t need repairs and if you dont pay a heffty fine then they can`t help by updating the softwares on your car, i tride to work with orbite but i cant seam to update it, i have been trying to get vida for a Little over 2 years, but i havent found a way to do it, and i was wondering if there was a way for me to get it i woulde really apreciate it. or if ther was a way to do it on orbit i woulde apreciate if somone told me.
i don`t get why i have such a expensive car and i can`t even use a programm that can fix my car with, im not only talking about my self but worldwide,
thank you to every one that woulde want to help me
