I first tried to use it with a VIDA installation I had already done using a virtual machine image obtained from the forums. I had to wait two months to receive the device from China, but this is fairly typical of deliveries during COVID-19 times. I chose to buy one of these rather than a DICE or DICE clone because (A) these are a bit cheaper than DICE clones, and (B) I have read that many people have had problems with faulty DICE clones. The device is claimed to be compatible with Volvo's DICE hardware. 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.
