So frustrated - jumped through several hoops trying to get VIDA SW to work. I may have hit my limit. After buying a used laptop to dedicate to running VIDA on my vehicles (an S60 and an XC60 - and I use Macs at home), I got a "check engine" light on the XC. Plugged in DICE/VIDA, and got nothing to work. So, I reached in the back of the tool drawer and pulled out the trusty old Craftsman OBDII scanner that my wife bought me several 7-8 years ago. Plugged it in, and got the code.
After a bit of digging, found some others that had experienced the same problem (evaporative system error, small leak), and traced it to gas cap gasket that needed replaced. Spent $5 on the gasket from iPD (bought a 2nd for the S60) - changed it, erased the code - and all is well.
Did I waste several hundred $ on DICE/VIDA and a laptop? Is it worth trying to get it working again, or should I just stick with the OBDII scanner. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.
