Volvo VIDA 2015A Computer Requirements

Volvo VIDA 2015A computer requirements:

• VIDA requirements for all vehicles EXCEPT the new 2016 XC 90*:
• Windows 7 Professional/Enterprise 64 bit or Windows 10 Professional 64 bit.
• VIDA requires Internet Explorer 11 or later.

in detail…

Internet connection

An internet connection must be available at all workshops. The internet connection is used for the communication between the VIDA work stations and the VIDA central servers.

Recommended Specification for VIDA Workstation

It is the recommendation of Volvo Cars Customer Service that computer equipment bought for VIDA should be possible to upgrade. If it is necessary to increase computer performance, it should be possible to increase RAM and replace hard drives easily. Furthermore, purchasing more memory will result in better performance since the use of virtual memory is minimized.

VIDA will be delivered as a desktop application replacing the existing VIDA on Web as well as VIDA All in One. Users of VIDA on Web and VIDA All in One will need to execute an installer package that installs the necessary software components in their workstations.

ITEM	Recommended specification for VIDA used for diagnostics and SWDL
Processor	Core i5 and above1
Memory	4 GB or more
Local free disc space	10 GB2
Connections	2 x USB 2.0 or higher3
Operating System	Windows 7 Professional/Enterprise (64 bit) or Windows 10 Professional (64 bit).4
File system	NTFS
Display resolution	Aspect Ratio Minimum resolution 16:95 1280 x 720 16:10 1280 x 800

Chrome, Mozilla and Firefox browsers are not supported and will not work correctly with VIDA.

1. Names of processors are frequently changed. These are examples of what to use.
2. This is the disc space that should be available before VIDA is installed. The recommendation is based on the increase of used disk space over three years. If you have other applications, allow extra space for these according to their requirements.
3. Additional USBs may be needed for other equipment, such as mouse and keyboard.
4. Windows Update must be enabled and all available updates from Microsoft need to be installed.
5. The application screen is optimized for wide screen format. However, the application design is “fluid” based, i.e. the application screen stretches to completely occupy available screen space. This makes it possible to use smaller screens but bear in mind that it can be difficult to read wiring diagrams and other features that contain a lot of information.

Browser setting:

To allow us to keep track of your order during the order process you must:

1. Allow temporary “cookies” to be accepted on your computer
2. Enable communication with secure servers

A cookie is a temporary file stored by the bookstore on your computer. It contains brief information about your order. Volvotechinfo uses Session Cookies, so they will disappear from your computer when you close your Internet browser, or sooner. Enabling communication with secure servers allows the order information you send to be encrypted so that only the bookstore can read it. The bookstore will try to alert you to possible problems with your settings. If you are alerted, or if you experience problems using Volvotechinfo, please check and adjust these settings.

ETHERNET CONNECTIVITY REQUIREMENTS

VDS protocol-based vehicles can be connected directly to a VIDA workstation with a standard Ethernet cable using network connectors for a peer-to-peer connection for diagnostics and software download.

The following components are required:

• Ethernet network input for each VIDA workstation. It can either be a PCI network card or a USB Ethernet adapter.
• Ethernet cable type CAT5, CAT5e or CAT6. There is a Volvo special tool available with part number 9513095. This cable tolerates a cold environment.

CONFIGURATION SPECIFICATIONS

Network specifications

The network related changes specifications are specified below.

Central systems

If a firewall is used, make sure that port 80 for http and port 443 for https are open.

Network cable type

Twisted-pair cables (CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6) shall be used for network connectivity.

Universal Resource locators

VIDA will use several URLs- all will be on *.volvocars.biz. Make sure that *.volvocars.biz is not blocked by a proxy or firewall.

Service	URL	Port
VIDA Installation Package	http://vidainstaller.volvocars.biz/client-installer	80
VIDA Admin	http://vidaca.volvocars.biz/AdministrationWeb	80

Additional software requirements

There are different plug-ins that are needed for VIDA to work properly, these are described below.

lsoView

IsoView is an image viewing plug-in, automatically started together with VIDA. IsoView is included in the VIDA installation and there is no additional license fee.

Adobe Acrobat Reader

Adobe Acrobat Reader is included in the VIDA installation.

Microsoft Windows user account

In order to install VIDA, the Microsoft Windows user account has to be set to administrator.

NOTE

It is not possible to run VIDA logged in to the operating system with a guest account. Try to avoid having a domain policy that will override the normal rights for the supported user accounts. Some restrictions might make VIDA not work. For example a user must have right to change the registry since VIDA requires that when adding a DiCE. It is strongly recommended that all VIDA users log in as administrators with full admin rights.

This is info quoted from the official site: https://www.volvotechinfo.com/

The requirement is used for the original VIDA software. Maybe work for the crack also.

If you have VIDA crack version like

http://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/volvo-vida-dice-2015a-software.html

This is your requirement:

1. Operating system: Windows 7 Professional 32 bit or 64 bit 
   2. Internet Explorer: 11 or newer
   3. Computer memory: core i5, CPU 4G RAM or up
   4. C: space: must have 60GB
   5. Location: software must install on C://
   6. Others: It must be NTFS format

It’s confirmed to work no issue on Windows 7 32 bit:

Review: Volvo VIDA 2014D on Windows 10/8/7/XP macOS

Here are all from users answering you guys: What is the best operating system to work with Volvo Vice VIDA 2014D? Windows 10, Win 8, Win 7, Win XP or macOS?

Here you go…

Volvo VIDA 2014D Windows XP

1. I’ve happily be using VIDA on my old Win XP laptop for a few years

2. I have an old laptop (currently with Vista) and an old ASUS notebook running XP SP3.

3. 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

4. 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

1. I just went back to a Win7 machine running IE9 and I’m very careful with the updates. 2014D is supposed to work with IE10 but it didn’t when I tried it.

2. While it says it works with ALL versions of Windows…it doesn’t actually.

However, it does have a GREAT setup instruction PDF that truly made setting up a VM super easy using Win7 Pro. Which then made setting up VIDA a breeze. I have it up and running and I even managed to connect to my older DICE unit.

3. I’’m on 2014d and W7 pro

4. I’m lucky in that I had an old laptop lying around that I could use solely for VIDA / DICE. Once I finally got it working (Win Pro 7 32 Bit, .Net 3.5), I turned off windows update, so that its configuration wouldn’t change. I assume that as long as I don’t change my car for a newer one, there is no benefit to an upgraded VIDA version (I’m on 2014D), or any further windows updates.

5. I used 32bit Win7 Ultimate. It all works now.

My only issue is my car battery running out being left on pos II for a length of time!

6. it must be Win 7 Pro ( or ultimate).

7. It won’t work on 7 Home

8. Vida 2014d will work fine with a fully updated Windows 7 Pro

9. On any 32-bit Windows machine, RAM in excess of 3 GB will be unrecognized by the OS

10. I have VIDA 2010D on Windows 7 Home Premium.

11. IE 8 and install on Win7.

12. VADIS on Win7 x64 with IE8 works like a charm

13. I run VIDA 2010D on Windows 7 professional 32-bit with Chrome Version 23.0.1271.97 – No problems

Good to know: Windows 7 32 bit is the only operation system that tested by real pros:

You can have VICE VIDA 2014D on Windows 7 with 100% success

2014D VIDA DiCE Windows 8

1. I had it working with Windows 8.1 until an unknown update broke connectivity to DICE and no amount of system restore would bring it back. I guess 2014D works ok, but be aware an update may blow it up in the future.

2. DiCE was working with Vida2014B and Windows 8.1, but stopped working when I upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday.

3. Need to uninstall the IE existed on the system, (probably IE9) first, then it should be able to install Win 8.

4. win8 & ie10 sure don’t play well with anything, can’t downgrade in win8 either, that’s what that compatibility mode is for.

Volvo VIDA 2014D Windows 10

1. Win10 with Vida 2014D and DiCE is now working. And I have connected to a separate ME9 and read some data from it.

2. Windows 10 is causing tons of compatibility issues across the board. You may have to VM until updates.

3. I have been using 2014D VIDA on my win10 tablet for few months and it even works via integrated Bluetooth!!!

Volvo VIDA 2014D Windows Mac

I run mine on a Mac using WinXP + VirtualBox VM without any problems. But UI is a little clunkier with a VM.

I have an old Win XP Dell that I use exclusively as a VIDA/DiCE box and I use VMWare Fusion/Win7 VM on a Mac for a VIDA reference source.

I have XP pro on my Macbook Pro in VirtualBox and that is working fine.

Have a walk through for the Virtual Box

Here i would describe details of the system, HD size, Ram amount, processor type, you’ll need to be running in XP virtual nachine, provided you have the size described above plus IE8, you may want to disable your firewall and antivirus during installation. at least 2GB of ram, more than 20GB hard disk, preferably 40GB + , I don’t remember the processor type but mine is pentium 4 quore duo works ok, IE8 when you have those, your installation will be okay.

VM Ware player is compatible with Win XP, Vista 32 & 64 bit as well as Win7 32 & 64 bit

I have it running on my main PC and it works!

Volvo Vida Dice 2014D Error “VIDA NOT OK” Customer Solution

My VOLVO VIDA Dice 2014D had “VIDA NOT OK” during installation. I get the ‘security – ok’, ‘Framework35 – ok, ‘VIDA NOT OK’ message. Then after reboot and run the patch it can’t find ‘VIDA Monitor’.

my laptop specs are:

Dell Latitude D630

4 GB Ram

80GB HDD

OS= Windows XP Pro SP3

core 2 duo 2.0GHz.

With lots of help from forum friends, I’ve actually managed to get my VIDA working!

To do this I went into Windows START button/ programs/ Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2/ Configuration Tools/ SQL Configuration Manager…(left click on it to open)

In the left hand pane left click on ‘SQL Server Services’.

In the right hand pane you need to make sure that ‘SQL server (SQLEXPRESS)’ and ‘SQL Server (VIDA)’ are both set to ‘automatic’.

Then reboot.

Then go back into ‘Add/remove programmes’ and uninstall VIDA only! Do not uninstall anything else. Its about 1.5GB from memory.

Then you must go into ‘My computer’, Local disc (C:\), and delete the folder named VIDA.

Then open ‘program files’ folder and delete the two folders ‘Volvo’ and ‘Volvo cars’.

Reboot.

Then reinstall Volvo VIDA 2014D using the normal ‘all in one’ option. (Be patient), mine took 45 minutes.

Then you should get the VCC Intranet / VCC Internet /Internet options come up. Select Internet and then let it carry on installing.

Reboot and then install the ‘crack’ without changes the field.

Its a dos programme so you will just see a couple of DOS windows open and close.

I did all of the above in that order and it worked for me after over 8 months of pissing about trying to get this sodding software working.

Now I only hope my Volvo DICE unit still works!

All of the above was done after a unsuccessful installation with the ‘VIDA NOT OK’ message after installing.

How to install Volvo Vida on Windows XP VMWare Player

I can confirm that Volvo VIDA 2011A will work in Windows 7 (Ultimate, BTW). But with the following conditions. You need to run IE8 not 9 (I have found that VIDA just won't go with 9), minimum RAM is 2G. Should be good to go with that; but since MSSQL, which VIDA requires is such a hog, other conflicting apps could create issues. Volvo obviously recommends that a VIDA box be used exclusively for that purpose with no other apps installed. Realistically, I have also installed MS Office, Adobe Acrobat and Lightroom, and some Nikon software without creating a problem.

Actually, running a VM is maybe a good solution to avoid collision with other parts of the installed software. As you know, a VM is like a dedicated computer with nothing else installed on it. Another benefit is to use it on your newish computer which is faster (of course VM will steal some performance but I've noticed no problems with VIDA level software which is not a very demanding software)

VM also adds a little more clunkiness on UI having to swing between 2 windowing/operating systems and deal with assigning the mouse+USB inputs between the 2 operating systems. But its not too bad really. Once inside VIDA, one is staying there to work for awhile.

My setup is a 2008ish Macbook Pro (not fast by today's standards) with VirtualBox Windows XP VM. I run both VIDA DICE and Toyota Techstream (for our Prius) on the VM with no problems. I actually just leave the VM always up and running so its like having my car diagnostic computer available all the time.

This said, VM does require a little more computer skills for setup. Probably about the same skill level to solve interference with other software installs. For someone with less computer skills, it seems a dedicate computer running Win XP is probably the easiest fool proof path.

Here is what I would do: Get VMWare Player (Free http://www.vmware.com/products/player/), which is a virtual machine software. VMWare Player does not allow you to create new virtual machines, just open previously made ones.

Next, find a Windows XP Professional VMWare image. This is more than just an install disk - this is a full already installed image of XP Professional SP3.

Open the XP image with VMWare Player, boot XP in your virtual machine, and install VIDA on that. You need to connect the USB DICE through to the Virtual Machine, see the help/tutorial to learn a little about VMWare player.

The huge advantage of this method is everything dealing with VIDA is completely isolated into that virtual machine. Thus you don't need to worry about what else you have installed that will mess up vida, viruses hidden in any of the SW you've acquired, etc. The only thing you are installing on your main PC is VMWare Player, which is very trustworthy.

You can even enter full-screen mode, which will make it seem like you are running the real XP.

The whole process should be very painless & simple, the only thing you are missing right now is a VMWare Image of XP Professional. If you want you can try installing XP from the installation disk you already have using VMWare Player, which requires a bit more work, see e.g.:http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2005/10/26/vmware-player-windows-xp.html .

-Colin

PS: VMWare Workstation (basically full version of player) is excellent SW, I've used it for many years now in a variety of environments. So I would have no hesitation using the player edition, but I honestly haven't tested the above with VMWare Player only. The Microsoft VM that comes with Windows 7 is a joke by comparison.

2 Ways to Install Volvo VIDA 2014D on Window 10

VIDA is a catalog of parts with a variety of instructions and manuals. Also, diagnostics, maintenance and adjustment of some parameters will be available using DiCE .

Below is a small example of working with VIDA 2014D and Volvo DiCE , and also described TWO ways of installing TWO variants (original and repack) of VIDA on Windows 10 (also installed on Windows 8.1). Additionally, added options for solving common problems with / after installation and some useful settings.

(The document was translated from Russian forum)

Volvo VIDA 2014D is the last (not the last) file version of VIDA available locally, i.e. installed and running on a separate PC. Accordingly, available to a simple user.
Since the beginning of 2015, the program is only online!

Temporary workplace is ready.

Example of using VIDA + DiCE – diagnostics and error removal

Start, enter 4 to enter the EUR region.

We read the car.

The Diagnostics section, the Details tab.

The Diagnostics section, the Network tab.

The Diagnostics section, the Troubleshooting tab.
On the Troubleshooting tab, the module with errors is highlighted in red (green – everything is normal, gray – missing / not installed). Select it with the mouse, below it will be a list of errors. Select the line – the information about the error appears. With a double-click – a window opens with the expanded info. Before erasing – carefully read. Go to the Delivery tab , at the bottom there will be actions – Erase everything and Erase

The existing CEM module error.

The window with the expanded information by mistake and recommendations on elimination.

The existing error is nothing more than the LED license plate lights that I have installed. So, while these lamps are standing – there will be a fault, it does not lead to the device and it makes no sense to erase at the moment.

The Diagnostics section, the Reference tab.

Diagnostics section, Maintenance tab.

How to install Volvo VIDA 2014D on a PC with Windows 8.1 / 10 Pro / Core x86 / x64

-This instruction for installing VIDA 2014D from an .iso image (or from a folder) on a PC with Windows 10x86-x64 of all versions and versions (as of 08.10.2016). Suitable for Windows 8 of all versions and versions.
In Windows 7, install the usual way – run \ Install \ DVD \ Vida_dvdheader \ Main \ setup.exe
-If you have an image without the Russian language (and it is needed) – unpack the image by any archiver into a folder (for example VIDA2014D), download the archive at the end of the post , create the folder ru-RU in VIDA2014D \ DB , put the downloaded archive servicerep_ru-RU.zip into it , you can start the installation.
-If the PC has 2GB of RAM, 20GB of hard disk space (3GB and 30GB for 2014D) and less, you need to unpack the image and make the appropriate changes to the file \ VIDA2014D \ Install \ DVD \ Vida_dvdheader \ Compinfo.ini , in the lines Win7MinValue = write 512 , in Win7 Recommend = write 5,000,000 (or erase one digit at the end), save.
-If the PC is shaken by unsuccessful attempts to install different versions of VIDA – it is necessary to prepare for the new installation, clean up the OS (uninstall the components VIDA, SQL, remove the remaining folders, remove the remaining keys in the registry).

Method 1

1 . Preparation.
There is nothing to install additionally, except as specified in this manual. Also, there is NO need to disable / stop any of the default components in Windows 10 (defender, firewall, etc.).
a ) Install the .NET Framework 3.5 from:
– Control Panel – Programs and Features – Turn Windows features on or off
In the Windows Components window , note .NET Framework 3.5 , then OK , the .NET Framework 3.5will be loaded and installed , you may need to restart. If already installed, go to the next step.
b) Insert the image into the virtual drive (in Windows 10 it is present by default) by double clicking on VIDA2014D.iso .
Open the explorer folder with the image.
c ) Run cmd from the administrator from the open folder with the image VIDA2014D:
– File – Open the command line – Open the command line as an administrator
Before finishing the installation DO NOT close the cmd window , we need it twice.

2 . Install and configure Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 .
Copy / paste into the cmd window and press Enter :

“3PP \ Products \ SqlExpress \ SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe” / ACTION = Install / IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS / ROLE = AllFeatures_WithDefaults / INSTANCENAME = VIDA / SAPWD = GunnarS3g3 / SECURITYMODE = SQL / SQLSVCACCOUNT = “NT AUTHORITY \ SYSTEM” / BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE = Automatic / TCPENABLED = 1 / HIDECONSOLE / ENU / QS

Wait until the installation is complete. You can check the correctness of the previous installation in:
– Start – All applications – Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 – SQL Server Installation Center – Tools – Installed SQL Server features discovery report
The default browser with the report will open. Look – there are two lines in the table (at the end of No, it should be), close the SQL Server Installation Center .

3 . Installation of VIDA 2014D .
Copy / paste OBE lines to the cmd window and press Enter :

set __compat_layer = WIN7RTM
“Install \ DVD \ Vida_dvdheader \ Main \ setup.exe”

Select VIDA All-in-one .
Choose only ONE language (install TWO languages ​​and switch them you can – see Method 2 ).
Accept the license agreement.
Choose the installation path. It is recommended to leave it as default.
Installation takes a long time. You can control in the Task Manager by the activity of the alba process . At the end of the installation, icons appear on the desktop.
Select in the pop-up window Internet , then Save , then Close , and again Close .
Refuse to reboot.
Close the cmd window .
4 . Treatment and first run.
Run 2014A-BD.exe from the administrator. If you changed the default VIDA installation path, change only the LETTER drive in the opened window (if you installed it to the root of another disk / partition). Select Install , VIDA Monitor should start after that , after some time its icon in the tray should have a green arrow instead of a yellow arrow.
In the pop-up window of the regular firewall, select Allow access for Java.
Start VIDA with the VIDA All-in-One icon on the desktop (or in the Start menu, or right-click on the VIDA Monitor icon in the tray).
If Internet Explorer prompts you to select and enable add-ins, enable it.
Enter in the fieldUsername : 4 for Europe region (others – 1, 2, 3).
Wait for IsoView to load .
Click the Vehicle Profile tab , enter the VIN code. There should be a car. If Write Access is denied – check and enter the VIN code manually (NOT through copy / paste).
Disable VIDA eUpdate in the Task Manager on the Startup tab , the Java ™ Platform SE binary line .
You can also disable VIDA Monitor from startup and run it as needed from the shortcut to Start – VIDA .
Adobe Reader XI, which was installed with VIDA, can be deleted (if you use another application for pdf or not needed).
Done, you can use.
* If the server does not start – after a while on the icon appears red “?”, The fault is the update KB3163018or 1607 AU . Download the archive with the folder jdk , unload VIDA Monitor, delete the folder jdk from C: \ VIDA , unpack downloaded to C: \ VIDA , then reboot the PC. Archive with the necessary, to solve this problem, you can download at the end of the post.
* If the Username field is NOT active– the tablet did not work, apply again (after unloading the VIDA Monitor ) carefully following all the conditions, then restart the PC. Another option is to unpack the contents of 2014A-BD.exe into C: \ VIDA by agreeing to the replacement. Start from the administrator C: \ VIDA \ patch \ filldb.cmd (previously unloading the VIDA Monitor ).

Method 2 (recommended)

– At the bottom of the post there is a link to the resource where you can download the ready version with the adaptation to the extreme update of Windows 10 and the ability to use two languages ​​- Russian and English. Contains an easy way to install with cmd files (nothing needs to be entered manually). Everything necessary for installation and normal operation on Windows 10 is already in the image.

Correction of the “cross” in the field “Communication tool”

If after starting, in the field “Communication tool” – a cross , you must run the reg.file from \ Install \ Utilson the image / disk with VIDA EnableIEHostingx86.reg or EnableIEHostingx64.reg (for x64 OS).
Done.
IE must be closed! Archive with the necessary files, to solve this problem, you can download at the end of the post.

Connecting and installing DiCE

If you plan to use Volvo VIDA DiCE:
– Connect the device to the OBD connector of the car (or supply it with power 5-12 V / 1-2 A suitable BP, dais does not get power via USB!).
– Connect it to the USB connector of the PC.
– Wait for the device to be installed in Windows.
– Start VIDA, make sure that DiCE is installed in the “Communication tool” field.
Done.
If you want to use DiCE on bluetooth (first necessarily connect via USB!), Run (corresponding to the bit depth of the OS) reg.file and search / add devices WT to the OS. The manual with the necessary reg.file for connection on bluetooth and driver for using DiCE without VIDA can be downloaded at the end of the post.
To check the device, use the regular DiCE Diagnostic utility in – Start – All applications – DiCE .

Installing EWD schemas in VIDA

To scheme EWD were available from VIDA , you must copy the contents of a folder Rus from the disc (image) in the EWD:
\ VIDA \ the jboss \ the standalone \ deployments \ VidaEar.ear \ VidaWeb.war \ wiring_diagrams \ Rus
When a disc / image EWD no folder Rus – copy the contents from, for example, US_Eng , in diagrams and in “English” everything is clear Copy it to the Rus folder , if VIDA is in Russian (if there is no such folder, create it). After restarting VIDA Monitor.
Done.
Are in the Information – Troubleshooting – Wiring diagrams .
– At the bottom of the post there is a link to the resource where you can download EWD .

EWD 2014D

Access to VIDA over the network

For VIDA to be available over the network, you need to stop VIDA Monitor, change the line in the file:
VIDA \ jboss \ standalone \ configuration \ standalone.xml
<interface name = “public”>
< inet-address value = “$ {jboss.bind.address : 127.0.0.1} “ />
</ interface>
to:
<interface name =” public “>
