I bought a Lexia
Hi Guys I've just bought a new Lexia and a mate of mine is giving me an old laptop with XP on it. My question is tha the lexia comes with 2 discs and lots of leads but no instructions. Any tips on which disc to insert first and setting up are gratefully appreciated.

Re: I bought a Lexia
You'll probably find that one disc is Lexia the other is Peugeot Planet. the leads are pretty simple things and should be straight forward.

Re: I bought a Lexia
Also, make sure you have the lead hub plugged into the USB while turning on the laptop. Otherwise they never seem to see the leads.

Re: I bought a Lexia
Can't say I've ever had that problem. It does have to be plugged into the USB port before launching Diagbox however.Citroenmad wrote:Also, make sure you have the lead hub plugged into the USB while turning on the laptop. Otherwise they never seem to see the leads.

Re: I bought a Lexia
When I got my Lexia from Easy Diagnostics it came with 2 discs. The first one was the main installation disc, while the second had a load of updates.

Re: I bought a Lexia
Any modern Lexia should come with Diagbox and at least version 6, if not you've been sold a pup! If there are additional disks with old versions of Lexia/PP2000/Proxia, just ignore those, Diagbox will do everything and includes a copy of Lexia and PP2000 for older cars that need it - no need to run any installation other than Diagbox.

Re: I bought a Lexia
Many thanks for all the tips and yes one disc is full of updates. I've downloaded diagbox but its asking for an activation code but I have not been given any codes! Are the codes hidden on the discs somewhere?Mandrake wrote:Any modern Lexia should come with Diagbox and at least version 6, if not you've been sold a pup!

Re: I bought a Lexia
Hi jgra
thanks for all the tips. I've loaded on version 7.01 but instead of activating it keeps saying "Error during installation of Lexia. you have to reactivate to restart the installation. I've been in contact with the seller (some guy in Lincoln, his link was recommended here) and despite advice from him it still not working. Any ideas guys?

Re: I bought a Lexia
Thanks jgra that actually makes me feel better cos I thought it was just me being a luddite At least I'm not alone!
It did not help having so many versions of the program on 2 discs with no setup advice. Didn't even know I needed WinRAR till I put the discs in. This is an old laptop with everything wiped and XP with service pack 3 re installed. Is it worth sending mandrake a PM?

Re: I bought a Lexia
Just been reading threads on similar issues with diagbox and have to say I'm a tad confused now. All the smart advice seems to be to not go past 6.4 ish. The vendor told me off for installing 6.1 and said I needed to go straight to 7.1 then update to 7.2??
Can anyone tell me which of the many programs on these discs is the right one for my 2002 2.2hdi and Ill start from there
