Dice is what plugs into your car and the laptop to read the vehicle information, fault codes etc.
These laptops are loaded with Vida which is the software that interprets the data from Dice.

There's no pcmcia slot so if that's what you need, they're no good for you.

Hi Simon
I'm having some gearbox issues on a 00' V70 T5 at the moment and have been told to look into VIDA software to possibly diagnose the problem. I was pointed in your direction and was wondering if you could advise me on what will be required for me to get it up and running?? What software?? What hardwire?? I have an old Dell laptop running Windows XP so could I use that?? Many thanks Ben |

I've come into using Vida relatively late so have mainly used 2014d which is only for Windows 7 Professional. I'm sure there's a list somewhere of the Vida versions that run on XP and you would then need to check the system requirements for those. You would then need a compatible Dice unit that works with that version of Vida. The Dice units I sell have the latest firmware to run with Vida 2014d and I don't know if they can work with older Vida versions on XP. If someone has used a latest Dice on an older Vida, hopefully they will comment. If your XP laptop has 3gb ram minimum and 30gb free HDD space after the operating system is loaded, you could upgrade to Windows 7 Professional for £15 from these guys then load Vida 2014d There can be many variables with Vida and Dice so I only sell versions which are tested and definitely work together. This is why everyone who has bought from me has a fully working setup and can just get on with fixing their cars. See also my Dice thread here. Hope that helps.

I believe the laptop has a sufficient enough spec to run the operating software and the Windows 7, however I would have to dig it up and find that out for certain.
If all is well I would definitely be interested in purchasing the 2014d software and Dice unit from yourself!! |

No, the Dice unit is separate. Explained at the start of this thread in case you missed it.
