Diagbox setup

Unread post by Adam1984 »

Hello,

What is the cheapest way to set up Diagbox?

I was looking at a VLinker MC+ device, as I could use this with my other car (Italian and their software).

If not. What other options are there for a cheap set up?

Thanks.

Do a search on ebay or amazon or aliexpress for 'diagbox kit' and see what comes up, remember you will need a full chip lexia and you tend to get what you pay for. It's a minefield as to what is good and what is not so make sure it is warrantied and you are happy about the authenticity of the seller!! We are in the process of reintroducing the 15% discount on kit from Easydiagnostics but it is not ready to go just yet, maybe by 1st October. :)

Only if its a hacked copy.

Diagbox is actually free to download but legit versions require the purchase of 'tokens' to use the software.

The description and installation is in Spanish, but after installation it is easy to switch to English.
