You use the button on the instrument panel & the ignition key, no need for a lexia. It even tells you how to do it in the handbook.

Hi Gents, can any of you confirm that these chinese Lexias can programme (code) new, replacement components on multiplexed vehicles, specifically my wife's 2004 pug 307 1.6 petrol ? I'd buy one but don't want to waste my money if it can't do this...

AFAIK the Lexia software won't do it as it's dedicated to Citroens. Even though the electronics and cables are the same I don't see how it can work as the options in the car choice menu are only Citroen models.

If you buy an Actia interface, you can use it for Peugeot planet (peugeots) or Lexia (citroens)

the Actia is the hardware you need, the Lexia and Peugeot Planet are just bits of software

Planete!... That's the name I couldn't remember. It's the equivalent software for the Peugeot to the Citoen's Lexia.
