    Guys! I fixed it! After months of bad news with the Volvo, I finally have a win!
    Today, I fix my 2005 Volvo V70R and finally get it out of the garage! What did it take? Well it took an entirely new BCM, my wife's computer, and over $300 in software alone! Once it was done, I didn't want to take just a run-of-the-mill test drive, I wanted to take the car on a "big" 35 mile journey to go pick up some tires that my uncle ordered for his C4 Corvette in a little town called Clearwater, KS. Come check out the action as we see how the car does, and take a tour of my friend Jay's dealership!
    That hydraulic jack can be found here:

    You can lift the rear seat bottoms for more space, they even have hooks to hold the seat backs so it's perfectly flat back there.

    As someone with two current generation Volvos, I love seeing this and VIDA usage. It's fun using the factory tool to diag and update your car. Nice work! Volvo does make you pay to play but you're dealing with direct manufacture software. I do wish the module reload didn't cost so much but again, gotta play to play.
    Having the car on a battery tender with flash feature is recommended to keep your voltage consistent and where the software wants it to be. For anyone else out there seeing this with a 2016+ Volvo SPA platform, the new cars use Ethernet to communicate with the OBD2 port and VIDA. Volvo has a OBD2 to RJ45 female adapter you should get.

    Glad to see your back to full health and the Volvo is healthy as well. I'm guessing the old BCM is an example of a previous owner "knowing just enough to be dangerous"; ie they fired the eBay-Parts-Cannon assuming that all Volvo BCM's are the same.
    I would hazard a guess that the incorrect BCM might have been from a 2WD car and so might have even sorted the 4WD issue, because this BCM knows what 4WD is.
    The day the hood is painted will be a good day for the Volvo; this shape us still such a handsome look.

    Hi. Nice to see you have the Volvo back on the road. FYI you can fold the back seats even further so the cargo area will be completely flat. Just lift the rear seat via the two straps close to the back rest, fold the head rest (pull the strap) and then fold down the back rest. Good luck. I ran my 2003 v70 for 300000km/ 186000miles. Good car with outstanding seats. But had to repair front suspention 4times. Get a wheel alignment. The Volvo will love it.

    Classic Volvo owner saying things are all good, no warning lights, when you’ve got two current unfixed warning lights. I still think that instead of re-painting the hood, that you get it louvered or add a hood scoop instead. With the high engine bay heat of this thing, especially right above the engine and turbo, you would benefit from getting that heat out. Good job working with Xemodex - they were super helpful for me too with the main CEM.

I understand the development costs for the programs need to be recouped, but $100+ for just the brakes is a little steep. and what if other computers start to fail?

    Good to see ya again Elliot! Glad you got VIDA set up, having access to the official version has saved my arse several times. As a proud owner of a mid-2000s Volvo that does just work (when it isn’t killing ignition coils) I will say that ~typically~ you can get these cars back to a solid, error free state. Unfortunately many of them have been pretty chronically neglected or serviced improperly. There is often a big hump to get over!
