Volve by Luuk Esselbrugge
Volvo CAN BUS extender based on ESP32. This code is experimental and contains experimental functionality in the "data and command" serial commands. For example getting speed, rpm or sending car unlock commands might not function as intended on your Volvo right now.
Volvo-CAN-Gauge by Evan Horsley
Reverse engineering the Volvo VIDA protocol to gather diagnostic information not available via OBD2 on Volvo cars. Modified by evy0311 and started by Alfaa123.

Volvo CANBUS tinkering by Steve's Inventions
The CAN network on a Volvo – part three – request message format by
There are basically two main types of messages: requests and responses. This post will zoom in on request message. And I introduce a new module ID, 000FFFFE. This, in my car, is the generic ID for sending and receiving diagnostic messages, so the ID you will use to query your car on sensor values and other parameters. Very useful, and most likely the ID you will be using most.
S60CAN by André
An adaptation of SardineCAN: The code-base for this is in github.com/hackingvolvo, thanks to Olaf @ hackingvolvo.blogspot.com. The reason I started this version is because of the DPF (soot filter) and regeneration issues. The goal is to provide the driver with a simple feedback whenever the car is regenerating its DPF. The driver can then make the decision to keep on driving and let the process finish, or to cut the process short and run the risk of eventually getting messages such as: "Emissions problem. Service required" "DPF full. Regeneration required"
Volvo-VIDA by Tigo
Reverse engineering Volvo VIDA for retrieving information from the CAN-bus. With the files in this repository, a lot of information buried deep inside VIDA can be easily exported. It's also possible to read Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)!
SardineCAN-Arduino by Olaf
This is Sardine CAN, an open source J2534 device, which makes it possible to connect various diagnostic programs (eg. VIDA from Volvo) to your car.
SardineCAN-Win32 by Olaf
This is Sardine CAN, an open source J2534 device, which makes it possible to connect various diagnostic programs (eg. VIDA from Volvo) to your car.
🟢 Fully tested and working
A green circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was fully tested, each of its functionalities and capabilities. And it can be installed in a vehicle. Keep in mind this does not mean errors won't happen. As in everything related to electronics and software, there are revisions and updates. This open hardware is no different.
💯 Fully tested & working, no improvements necessary - already being sold online
🆓 Fully Open hardware \ source code
🤪 There's better than this. don't use it
🔐 Fully closed hardware \ source code
⚡️ fully tested and working, however, it is a dangerous solution to deploy
🟡 Not tested. Working capability is unknown, it may work or not.
A yellow circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was not fully tested, each of its functionalities and capabilities. This does not mean it not working, it simply means testing is needed before giving a green circle of approval.
🔴 Fully tested but not working.
A red circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was fully tested, and found some kind of critical error or fault. This means the electronics or firmware code cannot be used in a vehicle.
⌛ Not started.
The hourglass means the hardware electronics or the programming hasn't started. Most likely because is waiting for the necessary test components needed for reverse engineering and also engineering of the new open solution.
