Lexia 3 can talk to everything with the normal interface apart from the newer Fiat based models (Relay 3 & nemo) which need an additional interface. The replacement for Lexia 3 is not too far away.
And how can i determine. Do I have Lexia2 or Lexia3 adapter(interface)?
There's nothing written on adapter. Only "Actia", serial number and part number.

I purchased my interface from a guy who basically serviced the body shop trade, I asked him why he was selling it and his reply was that on some of the current late models from PSA the communications interface had / was changing and the old Lexia would no longer talk to some of these cars, he had purchased a new current interface for his business. There was more detail but as it didn't affect me I didn't pay much attention, however I understand that Actia no longer produce the interface for Lexia 3.2 and you are trying to talk to what must be a nearly new car.

However may be totally irrelevant.

Ok. Thank you.

The Lexia 3 one connects via USB, the Lexia 2 ones dont. If you are running it off a laptop then it must be a Lexia 3.
