thanks

Yes - it will, however, be aware that Diagbox V9.** that is available from non-official sources will not allow you to telecode / configure ECUs off line and going online will likely lock / deactivate it. You can read and clear codes and should be able to perform live tests and some operations for ABS brake circuit bleeding, electronic handbrake releasing etc etc., but no ECU configuring or parameter changing.

If you have a vehicle that is 2015 or earlier, I would stick to Diagbox V7 and update it as needed, sticking at V7.62 if you can. This will still support configuration changes to most vehicles and systems, with the exception of some ECUs.

Hi. Continuing the theme as it were, may I ask if Version 7.62 is still the go to version? OR would I be ok with version 7.83?
My vehicle is a late 2014. 2008 1.6 HDI, manual.
I'm taking it as read that the Lexia box of tricks must be the full chip one.
Any pointers/advice like where to buy (Alibaba/home shores), what NOT to buy, very greatfully received.
Thank you

Avoid the really cheap clones - you need a full-chip revision C. Version 7.62 of Diagbox was released on 13/01/2015, and version 7.65 on March 2015.

Many members here buy from Easydiagnostics - they are UK based and provide UK support.

There's also a discount for members, although we are not affiliated in any way - see post below for details:

Check with Jim at ED if you are not sure and need some more advice.

Ive used icarsoft fr v2.o found it more quicker than using outdated laptops and software everything needed is in this small diagnostic machine , I purchased from the main company got a 2 yr warranty free updates and its as updated as it will always need be. Less complicated to use aswell ( my opion as a user of one )
