OK, the questions following are directed at anyone who's had in-depth exposure to one or both of these systems. While I fully intend a Diagbox upgrade, it isn't the right time to try it while I have jobs on the go.
This week I have encountered the same new problem twice!
A completely "blank" BSI. No VIN, no configuration, not build code. All the normal data when the interface first "reads" the BSI is replaced by lines of "ƿ",
VIN: ƿƿƿƿƿƿƿƿƿƿƿƿƿƿƿƿƿ
I have managed to build one BSI back up - to a point. It first asked me for a build code - my label didn't match the example, so I had to guess which part it was. I reinstated the VIN, from that it deduced the chassis number, I could turn off the basic things it didn't have like navigation, rollover protection, driving school controls etc) and code in a key - but not everything worked. I could see when the window switches were being pressed, yet the glass did not move (I could put the windows up or down using the actuation tests). Every remote ECU it saw replied, I think. Couldn't get blinkers, low beams but the COMMS unit was not showing faults...
Is this a sign of a knackered BSI (2002 build) or am I just missing a menu/configuration move? I will add that in neither case does the car run, in one instance the ECU has clearly been replaced and there is a PSA sticker with the last eight of the VIN on the ECU bracket yet the diagnosis tells me it's the wrong ECU for the car and it does not unlock despite the BSI recognising the key...
Hope one of the Lexia/Planet regulars can advise on what's likely to be occurring here.
Thanks, Adam.

Re: Lexia/Planet "Stuckness"
As you've had no replies (and to be honest its a guess) I'd have to suggest the BSi is dead.

i worked on a 1.4 206 once that the engine ECU was not seen by my Diag,
turned out to be the double brown ECU protection relay has a chunk of its case missing and filled with water,
fitted a new relay and all functions resumed
