Hi,

2 questions about VADIS:

1)
I have a VADIS 2001 in british english which contains information on my 1997 S40 with manual tranny. I also have VADIS 2003 in US english but this one does not contains informations about my tranny and also lacks a lot of things about my engine (normally aspirated 2.0). This is because only automatic 2.0LPT is available in the US so VADIS US edition lacks a lot of info about european S40. However the 2003 US edition contains updated info about parts for any types of engine or tranny. So I'd like to update my 2001 european VADIS with the 2003 US Vadis but if I do this the 2003 US Edition erases all the info from the 2001 edition and I again loose the repair procedure for my transmission and engine.

Does any body knows how to mix VADIS 2001 European and VADIS 2003 US so that I can update the additional information contains in the 2003 edition WITHOUT erasing the 2001 information? There is a file called compinfo.ini on both DVD and it defined how VADIS component are installed. Do I need to change something in that file prior to installation of 2003 edition?

2)
When installing VADIS and entering user configuration screen, you can choose the default information type you want to see first when logged in into VADIS. If you look at the list of "available" information types, you'll see that it also contains Safety Recall campaign bulletins or Service Campaign bulletins. It thus means that these information SHOULB BE AVAILABLE IN VADIS but I can't see them. There is no service bulletin or safeyt recall bulletins.

As an alternative in going on alldata.com, does anybody knows how to "unlock" this information in VADIS?


NB: I forgot to mention that for both 2001 and 2003 editions, I used the International Misc setup in order to have all the info about all Volvo markets in the world so problems do not come from here.
