Volvo VIDA 2015A is an aftersales vehicle information and diagnostics environment used in workshops for troubleshooting, service documentation, and parts reference. It combines vehicle identification, guided fault tracing, and structured repair information to support consistent job intake and repeatable service workflows.


VIDA is commonly used alongside a compatible Volvo communication interface to read vehicle data, review wiring and component locations, and build clear job records. Coverage and available functions depend on vehicle model year, market configuration, and access permissions.
