You cant with your own lexia,without a dealer account login. Citroen will do this as part of a service if you ask them, or separately for a charge.

On Diagbox, if you try and do an ECU download it asks for a login - fail this and it will deactivate your Diagbox. I've had this happen three times lately - so good luck

Yes - no problems with that as in a way it is a sort of 'learning' routine or an initialisation procedure that can be applied - without changing the software itself. Very much like how your car will adapt the fuel mixture according to conditions or the suspension will analyse road conditions etc. It's the actual software download to the EEPROM that needs authorisation from the PSA servers.
