Contact the Moderators and ask politely if they will allow you to send Personal Messages (PM's), then contact cheshired5 (Simon) a long standing & extremely helpful Member here who sells the Volvo Vida interface including fully set up laptop if required. It will be the best money you have spent for a long time!

I have a Dec 2014 ( 2015MY) V70 and vida 2014D works on my car no issue. Don't know about 2016MY but as per Reggit I don't think it works on later models.

Cheers

Volvo is still using VIDA software. For new models and all cars after 2015 they created new VIDA system which can be used by main dealers and approved garages. It’s not free to use. I work at Volvo Specialist in Brighouse and we can use this new system to read codes, install softwares etc.

Unhappy New Volvo Owner

Hello everyone.

I don’t know if I am using this correct as I am not just a newbie to Volvos. But a newbie to forums in general.

I would like some help if it’s not to trouble:

I have just bought a Volvo v40 D2 se 2013.

I am looking online and I can see that it should have satellite navigation. But there is no print on the button where it is suppose to be, the button clicks but nothing.

Further more there is no camera on the screen When it reverses and no beeping noise when reversing.

Could someone please help with this. Am I right in thinking that this should be fitted as standard? Is there something I need to do?
