VIDA (Vehicle Information and Diagnostics for Aftersales) will replace iVADIS, VADIS, and WSDA in early 2005. VIDA will be available in two configurations, VIDA All-In-One-Client and VIDA on the Web. VIDA All-In-One-Client (AIOC) will replace VADIS and WSDA, providing access to service-manual information, vehicle diagnostics and software downloads.
Meaning...those shops that currently pay monthly for iVADIS and WSDA so that they can perform software upgrades and such will suddenly have to dig deep into their pockets if they want to be able to continue to do so. VADIS is a lump sum $6400.00 payment; WSDA is a monthly payment of about $180.00; It scares me to think of how much a year of VIDA is going to hurt.
