How to Use?
-For laptops and PCS, download the shareware 1.3
-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.
-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.
-Turn the car's ignition switch ON. No need to start the engine.
-Start the Volvo program
-Now it works. Make sure the software can reliably access all the control modules that it should in your car.
What are the system and computer requirements?
-A PC running Windows: It is recommended to use at least a Pentium-100 (or AMD equivalent) with 16MB of RAM and Windows 95 or newer. Volvo FCR may work on some lesser PC's, but anything less than the above recommendation is unsupported. Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, and XP are all fine. Available disk-spac.
