Now that we’ve changed the engine oil on a Volvo XC70 D40, let’s find out how to reset the service interval using VIDA software (i.e VXDIAG VCX SE and VIDA 2014D)!
Volvo can do a service reset with VIDA.
VIDA (Vehicle Information & Diagnostics for aftersales)
To reset the service, go to the menu below.
Select DIM module->Select Advanced tab->Reset Service Check Indicator (SRI)->Press Start and reset is complete!
Here we share one of our customers’ working experience of installing VIDA on Windows 10 and using the VXDIAG VCX SE Pro 3 in 1 device.
So, I used this pretty old laptop to install VIDA. It’s a 2012 HP EliteBook 8470p. To give it a bit of a boost, I swapped in a cheap SSD and did a fresh Windows 10 install. Yeah, the laptop is ancient, but after the upgrade, it runs smoothly. I mainly use it with Subaru Select Monitor (you know, Subaru’s diagnostic software) to diagnose Subaru vehicles.
When it came to installing VIDA, I followed some detailed steps that I found on a forum, and honestly, it went pretty smoothly. The coolest thing? Microsoft Edge now has an IE11 mode built right in, so I didn’t have to bother with installing any IE11 extensions. You just go into “Settings > Default Browser > Allow sites to load in IE mode” and boom, done! I even added an IE mode button to the toolbar in Edge to make it quicker to fire up VIDA next time. Super handy!
Before buying the VXDIAG device, I did a bit of research. Yeah, there were mixed reviews. Some people were like, “it’s great,” while others had issues. But, you know how the internet is—sometimes you just have to try it yourself to see what’s real. So, I figured, why not? Plus, vxdiagshop.com had a nice first-time discount, so I grabbed the VXDIAG VCX SE Pro 3 in 1.
When the device arrived… err, it didn’t exactly work right off the bat. Tried restarting the laptop, reconnecting the device a few times, but nope—no luck. At this point, I was starting to think I’d bought a dud.
In the end, I reached out to the VXDIAG support team. They got back to me pretty quickly and walked me through troubleshooting step by step. Turns out, I’d messed up the installation process. Whoops! But with their help, I got the latest version of VX Manager installed and updated the firmware. And finally—success! The device started working just fine.
Oh, and by the way, I also went through a bunch of tutorials on their website. They were super detailed, covering everything from setup to troubleshooting. It really left a good first impression and helped me understand more about the device.
There’s this one minor thing—every two months, the VXDIAG device needs its license renewed through VX Manager. It’s not a big deal though. You just press the update button, and that’s it.
All in all, despite a few bumps in the road, I managed to get everything sorted out with some help from customer support and a bit of hands-on troubleshooting. It really reinforced the idea that sometimes you just gotta try things out for yourself to see how well they work. And honestly, this whole experience turned out to be a pleasant surprise, kind of like a lucky dip that paid off!
Here comes the user review on vxdiag and Volvo Vdash software.
I got both vxdiag and cheap mongoose cable.
vxdiag: it worked really well with Vdash on win10 64bit and Vida 2014d.
mongoose clone: only works with VIDA 2014d (tested on virtual machine win 7 32 bits)
I use vxdiag vcx se pro which works good with vdash (slowly) on V60 2014.
The craking CEM pin number take too much time. 26H=9.5%. But it worked. If need a faster calculation, you might need a ENET cable.
No need for the expensive Dice unit like before. The software is free on D5T5.com.
Need to install Passthru driver in VX manager. Select interface as VXDIAG-J2534.
I was able to diagnose trouble codes on another 2018 S90. However, adding more features like navigation, video in motion, etc.. will require decoding the pins of the CEM and ECM (require VDash Pro dealer).

Today, I’d like to share some reviews on the VXDIAG VCX NANO for Volvo.
First of of, let’s check some VXDIAG VOLVO reviews.
Review 1:
Great device for connecting to VIDA to diagnose my Volvo. Only concern is in the ad it says it compatible with Windows 10. Which VIDA is not. Was able to install VIDA via bootable USB. Other than this inherent issue, nothing to do with this device. Works great. Connects everytime and installed via their software. Do recommend, much more cost effective option and delivers faster than a DICE unit.
Review 2:
The disc they provided doesn’t seem to work well but with some googling you’ll find a pre-setup VM or a easy installer that lets you install this on windows 10. Some people complaining about it not being detected. You need the drivers. Go and download VX Manager. It works like a charm and has already saved me a tone of money with diagnostics.
Review 3:
It’s great. Just be wary that while this will allow you dealer level access to your Volvo, little to no documentation is provided on how to get it going. You need to be computer literate and have great Google skills to get this working. It probably took me a solid 4 hours to get a laptop configured properly, but once I got it working it’s been fantastic.
Review 4:
I recently bought a VXDIAG VCX NANO device which can be used with Volvo’s VIDA software to communicate with Volvos from the early 2000s up to 2014 or so.
The device is claimed to be compatible with Volvo’s DICE hardware.
I chose to buy one of these rather than a DICE or DICE clone because these are a bit cheaper than DICE clones, and I have read that many people have had problems with faulty DICE clones.
I had to wait two months to receive the device from China, but this is fairly typical of deliveries during COVID-19 times.
I first tried to use it with a VIDA installation I had already done using a virtual machine image. It didn’t work, I just kept getting an error message: “ERROR: SDK GetProcAddress!”
Eventually, I decided to actually follow instructions and installed VIDA 2014D from the installation DVD that came with the device. It worked first go.
I later tried again to get it working on the VM but without success. I suspect the problem may be due to the VM running Windows 10 and being 64-bit. The recommendation for VIDA is Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.
Using VIDA I can connect to the car and read its details, fault codes and live data. I can also use the activate feature to turn on and off various systems for testing.
I have not tried any programming.
I also used the device with VDASH2 and it also works fine for reading information and fault codes. I have not tried any programming with VDASH2 either.
So aside from not being able to comment on programming, I can recommend the VX NANO as a cheaper alternative to a DICE clone. Just follow the instructions and know that it may not work on a VM.
