If you plug the DICE into a USB 2.0 port it needs to be USB 2.0.
Make sure you set the USB setting up to match your machine. Things like number of cores dedicated to the VM and how much RAM you want it to be allowed to use. 
If you want to adjust the VM image settings now if the time to do so. You may be asked if you copied or moved this. Locate the file ‘Service Machine.vmx’ and double click on this file. The password is V0lv02RuleYou can run it from this location or move it to another location. 
Extract the 7z image file you downloaded to a contained folder. Advanced users can use virtual box with minor modifications I believe. Once you have everything downloaded, install your hypervisor of choice. If you are on Mac OS, you can use ‘The Unarchiver’ available via the App Store. I believe most Linux distros support 7z files out of the box or can be easily installed via the Software Centre. If you have Windows but don’t have 7zip. This will depend on which OS you have running. Download VMWare Player or VMWare Fusion. Download the virtual machine 7zip image. This is a copy of the post I made on reddit. The oldest car i could find on the software was a 1975 240 so if your car is newer than that this software is probably useful to you.Īnyway, here's the link if you want it. I checked the list of cars this version supports and I've put a list below any cars without a date by it I can only assume the software has information about the car for as long as it ran or for all the years up to 2014 but I'm sure some of the information will be the same if your volvo has the same engine/chassis/electronics as one of the previous years. I'll also supply copy of the digital e-manual i have. I've almost finished reconditioning a 2007 Volvo S40 1.8 and this software has been an utter godsend. It also features software to speak to the VIDA compatible diagnostic tool. I know there are quite a lot of copies of this already available but I couldn't find any that are just VM with it on so I thought I'd post here to see if anyone wanted a copy.įor those who have no idea what I am talking about, VIDA is a piece of software that has information on most repairs on many volvo cars, exploded diagrams of most parts on volvos with a list of part numbers for purchasing the parts you need. 
I picked up a copy of VIDA 2014 with one of those bootleg diagnostic tools for volvo and I stuck it on a VM as it doesn't play well with Windows 10.
