General
All Volvo models produced from 2004 (model year 2005) up untill now are supported by V-Tool.
Maybe. P2 models from years 1999-2004 are not currently supported by V-Tool. However, their support might be added in the future. Please stay tuned 🙂
This is completely normal. Depending on a model airbag or ABS icon can lit constantly or blink when you connect servicing software to the car. After you disconnect V-Tool the icon will go out after 2-3 seconds. If it is not going out then you should have some DTCs stored in the car.
Connectivity
To use V-Tool you need Bluetooth OBD adapter that supports both HS-CAN and MS-CAN. We recommend to use VLinker MC+ or OBD Link MX+ to use with V-Tool. Please refer to Supported OBD Adapters page to view full list of compatible devices.
Not at the moment. However, support for original Volvo Dice with bluetooth might be added in the future.
Functionality
No, you can’t. V-Tool’s main goal is to make servicing of your Volvo more accessible to regular users. V-Tool is not designed to change car software or car configuration. There are other tools on the market that can do that like VDASH, Orbit or P3Tool.
V-Tool is constantly being developed and new functionalities are being added every day. If you want to request a specific functionality for your car please drop us a message using contact form. Don’t forget to include VIN in your message.
Known Issues
During production history Volvo produced tens (if not hundreds) of different engines and each of them has its’ own Engine Control Module type. V-Tool can automatically detect engine type and enable correct list of functionalities. If ECM is missing on Activations drop-down list it means that V-Tool was not able to recognize the type of ECM in your car. In such situation please contact our Support team and provide your vehicle VIN number.
Oil volume calculation in liters requires different calibration data for different engines. If you see wrong calculation of volume for your engine and you know how much oil is in your engine, you can send this information to us using contact form and we will add proper calibration for your engine. The information should iclude: vehicle VIN, oil level in milimeters, oil temperature, correct oil volume in liters.
Subscription and Pricing
It can happen that prices for the same plan and the same country are slightly different between iPhone and Android. This is caused by differences in methods how prices are calculated both by App Store and Google Play. Due to this fact and due to different taxes in different countries it is not possible to keep all pricess 100% in sync between two stores.
