What are the system and computer requirements?

Now it works. Make sure the software can reliably access all the control modules that it should in your car.

Start the Volvo  program,

Turn the car's ignition switch ON. No need to start the engine.

Connect the interface between the computer and the car by plugging one end of the interface into a Serial (RS232) (or USB port ) on your PC and the other end directly into the OBD-II port present  passenger vehicles.

Run it and follow the prompts to allow it to install itself.
Note: You must install volvo FCR on your PC's hard disk -- it will not work properly if you try running it directly from a floppy or CD. However, you can use a floppy or CD to move the distribution file from a PC with internet access to another PC that does not have internet access.
