I have fairly recently purchased a 2007 S40 D5 sedan, This idiot attempted to add a reversing camera and apparently upset one of the computer modules. Does anyone have any idea as to how I might find the fault.

Further to my post, thr electrics have gone totally nuts on me. !!!

What are the exact symptoms of the fault?
timbo
It depends on where he has drawn power from. I would start by removing the power to the reverse camera. It will be messing can-bus communication with the rear electronic module.

I'd bet on it being wired into the canbus too.

Remove offending equipment then module reset using vida/dice combo. Might also need some upstream modules reset too. Exact symptoms and being in front of it would really dictate what to do though.
Was this the one that was going for 8800 recently?

Thanks for the info, It has been tapped directly into the reversing light loom.very close to the light itself.
I've got no doubt that a number of modules will have to be reset.. Am I able to do this myself without specialist equipment.? By the way , Egad, I bought it in Morwell Vic, for $14500

PS. What the hell is vida/dice ?
egads
Ah, it is the Volvo specialist computer tool (dice) and computer program (vida). Any dealer or specialist Volvo workshop should have it as do some of us. Not sure who on the forum has one in Melbourne.

you can snaffle a DICE and software on eBay for about $100 if you're feeling brave!

There is Will ( @asiandriver ) in Melbz who has all the genuine volvo diagnostic tools , he has kindly offered this to us recently , ask him?
Or ask Mark ( @iceton1975 ) at a large independant volvo shop ,hecan point you in right direction.

VIDA is Volvo's diagnostic and parts software. It stands for something like Vehicle Information & Diagnostics Application (or something along those lines)
DiCE is a piece of hardware that connects to your car's computer at one end, and to a laptop running VIDA at the other end.
