relay and lexia?

Post by Bick »

Hi all,

was wondering if someone could confirm that the lexia copies that many of you lads are buying will communicate with an 05 relay?

the reason I ask this question is because the relay is basically a fiat boxer with a Citroen engine and gearbox just rebadged. this means that the electrics are fiat and not Citroen, a friend I have at a main Citroen dealer says their lexia connects but I am not buying a genuine lexia but a copy.

any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated

If you are using a Lexia 3 the mk1 & 2 relay will comunicate no problem, the mk3 relay requires an additional adaptor.
If you use an old lexia 2 you also need an adaptor to talk to a mk2 relay.
