Volvo C70 Cabrio Code readers to diagnose soft-top problems. Is there any members who have, or know of such a code reader, if so can one be used to operate the roof if re-calibration is required.

I was discussing this with Kings Motors the other week, the only Volvo thing that will work with your roof is a Volvo System Tester. A VCT 2000 or Dice won't do it.

I can then do the mechanical checks and any hardware micro-switch or pot replacements then have local Volvo dealership to do re-calibrations if needed.

Ok, does anyone know if the ‘Volvo Scan Tool' is just Volvo jargon for VIDA/DiCE, or is it another piece of kit all together? If it is another piece of kit, does anyone know the Volvo part number?

I've booked in for a diagnostic on Friday over at Tyn Lon Volvo dealership over in Llanfair PG, better known as llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch or as someone once said ‘somewhere in Wales' Tyn Lon have not long sine done a complete re-fit on a C70 roof so ought to have the tech know how and experience to identify the problems.

System scanned on Friday, two thinks are now apparent the VIDA/DiCE can interrogate the CRM, but able to calibrate. unfortunately their VST is no-longer functional so not able to re-calibrate. Dose anyone know of 1# a dealership that can do re-calibration? 2# anyone that posses a VST?
