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.

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).

Default 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...

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.

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