A copy of TOAF (free to download), a laptop running a compatible operating system and the right cable gets you access to read the various modules (ECU, BCU, ABS, Airbag etc.) used by the 75 and ZT.

I use an old Windows 7 laptop, but I've seen posts from other members saying they run TOAF on Windows 10 and 11.

I don't know whether it can be used on a Mac or not.

I can confirm TOAF runs on Windows 11, used it the other day to diagnose a faulty cam sensor on my mates 2.5 V6, I use it with this cable, which doesn't require the pins to be soldered:

I remember someone who managed to get Toaf working on a Mac using an emulator, but despite my dedication to Mac products, I decided the easier way was to use an ancient Windows XP laptop which I already had for the Remote T4 project with an RS232 cable.

Toaf runs on any Win operating system from XP upwards, there’s is even an Android version.

But for owners with the Autoliv Airbag system (2003 onwards) they need at least Vista (and upwards) to be able to use the stand-alone Autoliv programme.

I forgot about the Andriod app version. Has anyone got this to run reliably? I've tried to use it but struggled to get it to connect and run in a consistent way
