I'm curious now. If it isn't too inconvenient for you, would you mind showing me what your settings screen for an RD45 looks like?
My only observation is 7.02 is a very old version, I use 7.62 without issue.
I agree that 7.02 is very old! But I have been repeatedly told, both on this forum and elsewhere, that this is the latest version I need for my 'old' cars!

I do have a 9.x version available to me. It was sent by a former Peugeot technician who I've been advised also includes a lot of bloatware. There's nothing malicious, just bloat. I've chosen not to run that versionvor that reason, and also because the ancient Windows PC I own would probably die of heart failure, if I did ever try. I started a thread in the relevant forum some time ago looking for advice about updating that PC, but for various reasons, I ended up being more confused about what I should do than ever actually achieving anything along such lines. Plus, it's quite difficult to find PCs that are 32-bit machines these days.
Cheers,

Thanks, Monsieur Xantia!

That’s a lot more info compared to what I got from my RD45. Is that because you have a later version of DiagBox? Or is it for some other reason?

I’m not sure where I go to from here to get the RD45 working again.

(Although, it isn’t the top priority right now. I had the front top suspension mounts replaced in December and one of them has already failed. I thought that SKF made better products …

And I’m also trying to figure out why both the right brake light and the right rear blinker have stopped working - at the same time. But both globes work when put into a different socket.)
Cheers,
Andrew

I don't know, but I assume that it is either that your RD 45 is not very communicative or your BSI is somehow filtering the conversation.
