Volvo don't have everything stitched up because OBDII is a legal requirement across all manufacturers.
I use it on my 17 year old car, my much newer BMW motorcycle and it's still applicable to the fanciest of new cars.
This means that even the cheapest £4 ELM327 dongles should work once connected to a free app on your phone.
OBDII is only for engine and auto transmission codes though so don't expect the detail which can be obtained from using Dice and Vida..... Not that Dice and Vida would be of any use to anyone in this section as all SPA platform cars use a dealer only online version of Volvo's diagnostics software.
