Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Software Downloading
Software is downloaded to the Closing velocity module (CVM) using the software manager in VIDA.
Re-downloading
The software product re-downloading is used when a control module has been replaced. In order to obtain software that corresponds with the replaced control module the vehicle data is read when placing the order.
Diagnostic services are run after downloading when necessary (e.g. programming of code).
Upgrading
Software product upgrading is used to upgrade the software in the control module when there has been a complaint and there is a solution available to correct the issue.
VIDA does not read the vehicle data on ordering as no hardware is to be replaced during an upgrade.
If the latest software is already installed in the control module, the software package is not put together, the user receives the message that the control module already contains the latest software.
