Hi George, I'm a new Volvo owner myself and bought a Mongoose OBD device just like this to couple to an old laptop with VIDA on it which was an ebay buy as well; it works well. You would be able to do resets and also measure the oil temperature of between 50°C and 60°C before draining to set the correct fluid level at the last flush.
I saw these sellers when looking but managed to buy the Mongoose for a little less via a Volvo owner who'd sold his V70. The laptop and VIDA was around £140 or so. I plan to be using the kit in future and think it a worthwhile purchase. Hope this helps.
Peter
