Does this obd2 software work on my late 2007 C5 2.0 HDI 138 ?

A Lexia kit includes a hardware interface and Diagbox software that covers everything needed for PSA vehicles.

Near in mind it is clone software, so you will not get any support apart from your vendor or from other users.

To answer you question specifically, yes of course it will work with your C5. However, not all the hardware interfaces are the same quality or made the same. A lot of the cheaper kits may not have all the hardware chips and other components required to work with vehicles like the C5 and the Peugeot 308. If purchasing a kit, make sure it is a full chip revision ‘C’ kit and that it says it will work specifically for the C5.

A decent kit from a uk supplier with support will set you back in the region of £130 ish.

If you're asking if an elderly Lexia kit (specifically NOT the later Diagbox system which includes Lexia) then maybe.

My old Lexia, which I got S/H in about 2004 for the 2001 PhII Xsara, worked on my 2003 Mk1 C5 and also on a Mk2 (54 plate facelift) C5. Even though there is a menu option for the C5 X7 it won't read anything on my X7 but that is fairly late (2013) and I haven't tried an early one. It wouldn't work on a 2008 C4 Grand Picasso 1.8 VTR+ either.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.
