I must have tried innumerable combinations of things and I was about to give up. OK so back to the forums to see what people did about that. I then started VIDA, but it would not see the DICE unit.
When I plugged the DICE into the computer it searched for the drivers and eventually recognized the device. I then rushed out to my car to try it out. (No instructions came with the device at all).įollowing along, I got VIDA 2014D installed OK. I then followed a YOUTUBE video for installation. Luckily my son had a large desktop / laptop with it on and he let me do a fresh install and update. my first challenge was to find a laptop with Win 7 professional on it. Once I got the VIDA/DICE unit I set about looking at the numerous posts that had been put on various forums, and I realised immediately that this was not going to be as easy as most software / hardware you buy off the shelves. I know that VIDA/DICE is a big issue on the forum and has been covered many times, but I wanted to put down my experience while it is still fresh in my mind, and that it may help any out there who are struggling or are wondering whether to get a unit or not. Unsure of what faults may be laying in wait and in order to clear the SRS alarm, I ordered a VIDA/DICE unit from EBAY.
A couple of weeks ago the car suffered a spurious DIM fault which left me with a SRS alarm standing.
