not sure what x86 / x64 means...is this 32/64 bit?

VIDA wouldn't install on my XP Home 32 bit version; Vista Home 32 bit Home Premium; or Win 7 64 bit Home Premium machines over the weekend but did install today on work pc XP Pro 32 bit.

i've not yet connected Dice to the work PC, as i only bought the disc in today, not the Dice module. Will hopefully do an XP Pro install on my laptop over the next few days.

VIDA/DICE can do this for the 1, 2, 3 coding on my MY2003 D5.

XP Pro SP3 is required and IE8 will work. Keep clear of other software such as Skype and also some Antivirus programs.

Just to confirm. the software installed fine on XP pro. i partitioned hard-drive. installed xp pro on drive d: with 30gb space; (making sure there was still room on drive c: as that is where the software auto installs.

took about 45 minutes to install.

plugged into car last night at 11:30 at -4'c....works a treat.

i got mine from here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1208470120...84.m1423.l2649. ordered friday 3pm, delivered Sat am.

if anyone needs to use it the Swindon area just give me a shout. (i just need to now learn how to use it properly).

does it have bluetooth link to the computer like the genuine article or have you got to use the long USB lead ?

it comes with the 7' USB lead, but under the cap at the top, it has the memory card slot and micro USB connection, which i believe is where you can install a bluetooth dongle, however i've not yet tried that as i've read its a bit fussy on the type of dongle.
