Has anyone tried Vida2go
 

would anyone like to simply add to/answer the original question ?

its not needed and easy to loose. my vida boots up in less than a min and is ready to use by the time the dice is pluged into obd and the usb connected to laptop its ready to use.

Sorry Simmy, I didn't quite understand the above ?

it's not needed ? Easy to loose (or use?). Could you clarify for me please ?

I am (was ?) on the cusp of getting one of these.

easy to loose. small memory stick . you will still need the dice unit to connect to the car there are a few tutorials on you tube on how to work vida im a hands on manual worker with no computer skills but iv learned how to use it over some time . mat has a video demo of vida to go on his web site.:regular_smile:

Vida2go
 

I have this for my '04 V70 petrol auto and it's fine. (Vida itself is a bit of a curve). When ordering, they'll need to know if your bios supports one or the other type of usb. They established which type by knowing which laptop I had. The lead supplied was a Mongoose JLR (Which is a model of car I've never heard of).

mongoose is just the name of the interface cable

And.
 

Indeed. and JLR could be Jaguar Land Rover? During Ford's ownership of Volvo? Either way, I think the cable is not an original, but a good clone...

Vida2Go
 

Does anybody know if the Vida2Go will work on 2017 XC60? I have Veda and it worked on my 2014 Volvo but will not work on my 2017 model, can anybody make a printable suggestion please.

its unlikely that vida to go will read your 2017 car as i believe its the same vida 2014 programme thats on the stick to be absolutely Shure i would contact mathew leavsley as he is an expert on all things vida he will confirm any uncertainties.

I bought one a few months ago. Seems nice, although I have not actually connected it to the car yet.
