I currently have Citroen Xsara -01 1.6 16V (TU5JP4) manual and got the engine warning light on.
Since I don't have any OBDII reader, I'm trying to find one.
What is difference between MaxiDiag Elite MD704 and Lexia-3?
What Lexia 3 can do more than MaxiDiag?
From MaxiDiag specs
I have read that Lexia 3 has some problems with C5 (Old posts from different forums, idk is it patched/fixed already or user error)Vehicle Coverage: Peugeot, Citroen, Renault, Dacia, Fiat, Abarth, Alfa-Romeo, Lancia.

I would like to have that same OBD reader work with the next car in future which is Citroen C5 most likely or other PSA vehicle.
Price is not relevant, since I could get MaxiDiag (Actually MaxiDiag Elite MD802 which covers all MD701-MD704 models) cheap from good source.
I'm not really a car person and this Citroen is my first car, so I don't really know which one to buy
