AliExpress is a marketplace with 1000s of vendors, some are completely trustworthy and will bend over backwards to help, others are there to help themselves. You need to choose a vendor based on their reputation, and maybe ask them a couple of questions about the product to see how well they respond.

I have bought quite a few items from AliExpress and have been happy with 90% of purchases. In one case the product never turned up and the vendor would not respond to queries, but a case raised with AliExpress resulted in a quick refund.

I bought this one . I chose the LED Plus version with this blue connector. You get a CD with the program Diagbox 9.85 and some other older versions that I don't need for my car. From this site below I copied the new version which is free. The site is in Spanish but when Diagbox is installed the language can be changed.

The one Michael advised is the correct one, so buy the one with the bleu connector.

Lexia 3 (hardware) supports vehicles from 2005 until 2024 . Diagbox (program), this Diagbox Free is for newer cars (mine is 2021). If the car is older, then the older version of the program must be used.

I bought mine from Easydiagnostics, and having read reviews on here before buying. It's been flawless, even taught me that Citroen had a Chinese version (iirc)

I think mine was about 130ish, but they do offer a laptop with it fully installed at a higher price. It's on our forums thread under diagnostics, it worked for me.... It came with so many codes for different versions depending on year of vehicle. Just to be clear I am not affiliated with Easydiagnostics just offering my opinion on a product I bought from them. I will say I had to wait a while to get it as they refused to sell fakes and only took payment when it was in stock after I kept checking in with them.
