VCT2000 scanner and Volvo DICE 2010 scanner ?

[alex1987]

Could anybody tell me the difference between the VCT2000 scanner and Volvo DICE 2010 scanner ?
Thanks

Vct2000 only works on older volvo, dice works on the newer ones. Since volvo vida 2010b the vct2000 interface is not supported anymore.

Hi,
VCT2000 -2010
DiCE 2011-

2010A : J2534 and Dice, last version to use VCT2000
2010B-: J2534 and Dice

Vehicle communication is based on J2534. J2534 is an interface common to all
vehicles for reprogramming control modules that can be connected to many
vehicles. There are two different versions of J2534.

? J2534-1 can be used to download software to vehicles from, and
including, model year 2004. J2534-1 manages software to control
modules on CAN HS (controller area network high speed) that are emission
related. J2534-1 cannot be used for diagnostics.
? J2534-2 manages software download to control modules on both CAN
HS (controller area network high speed) and CAN MS (controller area
network middle speed).

The hardware used to validate VIDA's compliance with J2534 can be purchased
separately from third-party suppliers. The validation was done using the following
J2534 pass-thru devices:
? J2534-1: Actia Passthru+ XS and CarDAQ2534
? J2534-2: CarDAQ Plus
I have not used a J2534 pass-thru, let us know how it works!

Please! Use the ?Thanks Button?

Iroll...volvo...Good info. Is there a way to update the actia xs units to 2534-2 protocol..or is it done with the latest drivers? Still fuzzy on this stuff...

I have no idea?
Let us know what you find out.

I have called Actia Support Line today. I asked If Passthru XS covers J2534-2 . He said yes with the latest driver 2.07 does cover it but his voice was not so convincing.

Hi, I have Volvo Vida 2010D software which works fine, I have also Vct2000 hardware, but do you know how to change or add vct2000 to vida when checking on vida it says no communication tool selected? Do I need additional software to add communictions?

the function of connection to the car is different, VCT2000 use the series interface, Volvo DICE use the usb or bluetooth interface.

Read Irolls post above.
You cannot use VCT2000 with Vida 2010D.
There is no easy or practial way of adding VCT2000 support to newer Vida versions.

I wonder whether the Clone version VCT2000 or VIDA DICE could reprogramming ECU,ECM ? or key learning ?

Clone dice ?does not? work for software flashes.

Clone dice ?does not? work for software flashes.

Or a VCT2000 .

Only Dice from 200000 and later Serial # .
Every dice serial# plus purchasing login , and the VIN is all recorded on the conformation file sent to the PIE server ,AFTER all is correct .

The Security drivers for 2011 D has changed .
