How do I turn off my daytime running lights on my 2001 XC70? thanks ahead of time Deane
Requires a VADIS/VIDA hookup to change the settings for the DRL. Question is why?Quote:

I believe up to MY 2000, you could turn off the DRL with a twist on the screw on the headlights switch.
2001 and newer, nooooooooooooo.
2001 and newer has to be done at the dealer.
Takes 3 minutes, no software required but it must be hooked up to VIDA
Agreed, and get your auto dimming mirror software when your in there. Best $50 I have spent at the dealer :)Quote:

I think he is referring to the three different "dimming" settings available if you have the software load to do that. By default, it is not provided and you have to get it under a different software part number.Quote:

BS! Do the frickin' research. And I quote:Quote:

This is the text within the "Programmable Customer Parameters" documentation contained within this site in the Resources section. In addition, the software, according to VIDA, is labeled "Auto dimming control appl" with a PN of 9499432.
I don't BS in this site like some. What I state in any thread is based upon my own personal experience and/or documented proof coming from the version of VADIS or VIDA that I have access to. I so state that typically and should anything be based on any other sources I will mention those as well. In other words, I'm not pulling this stuff out of my arse.
In your cases, JRL, perhaps you have just been fortunate that the cars you've "done for free" have already had the software loaded allowing you to merely change the settings, but I know in the case of my particular car it was not there and the settings could not be done as the car sat.

Look, There's no point into arguing about this, what you are reading is a MISPRINT.
I can't tell you how many P2 cars I've had adjusted (20-30-50, I really don't know over the years), and there is no software required.
Everytime I buy a P2 Volvo, either for myself (which each one always gets adjusted), or for resale, (which if it needs to go on the machine, then I do these adjustments), it gets done.
Most of the time I stand there while my guy does it and trust me, NO software.
If there was, believe me I would be charged for it, software is not free!
While I may get these things done for no labor charges, [U]software would automatically be charged, if there is/was some required software, to my account.
No software needed .
I just did it last week on my Bootleg copy of vadis and the VCT I have at my house.
Same with heated seat temps
Mirror dimness
Power Window stops
Seat stops
and a few other things
Sweet, I got charged $50 for nothing! They adjusted seats and blower overvotage and DTR's for no charge.
The mirror they charged for and apprently lied to me!
Gotta love the stealership!
Did you bit torrent your copy?Quote:

They charged you for their time, most doQuote:

I'm not arguing. I just know what I've read and seen. So you are saying that it is a misprint in regard to the forum's provided documentation and that VIDA is incorrect in specifying a piece of software with a part number? Have you considered that it might be a part of a standard load for US cars only?Quote:

Now I had an indy do this and he did not have access to the Volvo God database that allowed access to the software repository so I am still running the default value.
In any event, I know what I saw and all I can tell you is that I'm reading in the documentation and VIDA that software is involved. That software then allows three options. So I'm not sure where you are coming from with the misprint but I might suggest that you and your guy sit down with VIDA and check it out. Frankly, I think its BS that this kind of thing should be charged for and for that matter that the settings need to be changed using the God device. But as many know I got a real bitch with the whole VIDA thing anyway when it comes to non-emissions-related changes
