Would this be a good tool for a service manual / code reader/ code reset device for my 03 XC70?

I don't plan on doing software upgrades myself so don't need online authorization. However, the price seems a little fishy to me. What do you think?

Seems like it's just a reseller for aliexpress or similar. I paid about $150 for my DiCE setup, but they are cheaper now. I've seen them as low as $90 on aliexpress.com recently.

With all of them it's a little bit of a gamble if it works or not! Provided you can test it right away aliexpress.com has some 'buyer protection' type deal, where it doesn't release money to the seller until you confirm receipt.

The price is 155 on it with shipping. Keep looking! Like coflynn said, same stuff on eBay for cheaper. I just searched and saw one going for ~75.

That's a ton of money. I just paid $135 delivered from what seems to be a reputable supplier according to forum lore.

It arrived in about a week and a half and works fine. They deliver the slightly smaller 'DICE Pro' version.
