using lexia proxia

Unread post by citrov6 »

a few questions about these, i've not got fully to grips with it. its the ebay connector china made


so far i can see data live on both lexia and proxia

1. is there a way to log data from test drives to make sure it is working right under load. i'm happy looking at live data parked up but thats not the full story

2. where are the ECU software update files. on mine i have cd42 and it will automatically update with what it has there, but if i wanted to get an update from a later cd would i need to install cd43/44 to do that or can we email each other the latest files? sorry new to this

3. i did get cd44 of ebay also but having some installation trouble, it wants a recovery disc for proxia installed first, whatever that is. perhaps it is just a useless disc i got

thanks folks

On the Lexia the answer is a qualified yes, you can set it up to record up to six parameters for all the ECU's except....... the engine!

(Unless somebody knows different :-)

That must be a disc for a Proxia I would have thought and incompatible with Lexia.

Historically, The Lexia and Proxia machines did the same job but made by different companies, presumably with different and incompatible software even though they do the same job.

Download software, I understand and believe, often somes on supplementary CDs. Certainly when I tried to update my autobox, my Lexia2 asked for a CD to be inserted. Needles to say, I did not have it :(

Best way to record live engine data is to go for a ride with a passenger who is able to note down the things you'd like to study.

to install Lexia3 CD 44:

make an empty file ( 0 bytes) named version.txt and located on C:\
after that start installation CD44, will be ok.
At the end you need to register and make key with PPS keygenerator.

CD45 can be downloaded from some torrents.

with Lexia 3 live log can be made from all engine sensors like this:

Very interesting to see those screen headers - I didn't realise that the C5's styling was under computer control and adjustable :lol:

Those last two screens are similar to what I've seen on the Activa. How do you get it to plot the graphs?
