lexia purchase feed back

Post by horsedentist »

Hi All

If anyone is considering a purchase I bought this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200839560291? ... 1497.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and I can report that it works perfectly on my 2001 C5.

Did you have any problems installing on your laptop and interfacing with your car. I've heard that Chinese clones sometimes throw up problems when installing.

No all was fine took me a while to find out how to activate the software as the instructions were non existent. However the unit works a treat well worth the money and delivery was about 3 days. interfaces with car no problem clears codes allows access to technical fix pages etc no problem, came with diagbox 6.01 as well but I can't get that to work at all,also had proxia on disc but that won't install says there is a corrupt file!
But hey ho what do you expect for 75 quid all in all a good buy.

Diagbox won't work with a 2001 C5, early C5's use the Lexia software, later models use Diagbox.
