    Default Ebay, Vida/dice

    I see a lot of Dice units on Ebay mostly shipped from China. Whats the consensus on these? good, no good?, any particular things to look for?. Thanks for the advice.

    I have one bought on Ebay, shipped from china works okay but does not like to be run on computer with many other apps. if you're lucky to get the software successfully installed.

    I bought one of these about 2 years ago and between this unit and the VM that was posted on here with DICE already installed it's working great! do a search for DICE and you should be able to find the installers on here.

    i bought from this seller on ebay,

    computer_psycho

    i then downloaded the VM Ware 2012 version from MVS,

    http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/for...p?f=40&t=55027

    i'm running is successfully on my win7 home premium machine, 64 bit, 8 gigs of ram. my cars are an '05 and '08, so i was good with the 2012 version.

    establishing comm between dice and my computer sometimes can be finicky. i do the following,

    connect dice to the car
    log into vida
    connect dice to the computer
    key to pos II
    comm is then established

    I have a Heathen Chinee DICE and installed VIDA on a virtual machine (windows 7 ultimate, x64, IE11, all updates, GreenShot etc.) and it works tits. I run it on a separate laptop with 8GB RAM and 120GB SSD, so it scoots nicely. Nothing else is on it and the VM keeps VIDA from polluting the OS.
