Hi Wiggy,

Thanks for the reply. It was as i suspected so thanks for the confirmation. After you repaired the lead did the C5 work ?.
Not tested this one yet but only asked the question because the seller guaranteed it was genuine. I am posting on behalf of someone else thanks have been passed on. cheers.

Ok just thought id post some images to show the difference between a clone and a genuine Lexia interface (excuse my photography).


So first up is the interface to pc usb cable ( clone is on the left).Notice the Actia markings on genuine cable.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj277/stealth300/Picture002.jpg

Second is the interface to 16 pin socket plug (clone is on top).Notice the serial code on the genuine also the clone sockets are very tight to clip together.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj277/stealth300/Picture003-1.jpg

Third up is the front of the interface its self (clone is at the bottom).Notice theres no stickers but not all may come like this and the rubber sheeve is missing on the clone connector.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj277/stealth300/Picture004-1.jpg

Fourth is the back of the interface (clone is on the left).Notice again the sticker is missing but also the screws are black on the clone and silver on the genuine version.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj277/stealth300/Picture005-1.jpg

Fifth is the usb serial connection (clone at the bottom).Notice the different colours of the connector and also the 3 pin plug is also different.

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj277/stealth300/Picture006-1.jpg

Sixth is the sticker kit in a bag.The parts sticker should be stuck to the box and the other stickers on the unit.Most Peugeot parts stickers are smooth to touch unlike the ruff surface of the clone stickers.

And last is the 16 pin connector (clone is on top).Notice the complete difference in shade of green and also the different colour screws (genuine use philips head screws,clone uses torx head)

As for the internals i dont have permission to open up either unit but i hope this helps people who purchase a Lexia interface to identify if its a clone or not.

it is just that the cable
example, I have a USB cable which is engraved SONY and I had the same thing with my printer and are commercially available ... There is no difference between these two cable, except that on one is Sony ...
Now, I removed my interface and compared with (hs original which was crushed by a car) components are the same ... This is the most important interface
I bought in China and it works very well since one year

to activate, I used PPS2000

I have one clone too (ebay/china), but it looking exactly same, which one you stated as original :) (i have original other actia diagtools (souriau26 station with ipc30, and citroen/peugeot elit and tep92), directly from actia/france and this clone lexia3 feel exactly same, as the original actia stuff, 100% same looking connectors, stickers, cables) But it must be a clone, only difference i found is the different 30 pin connector material, and missing actia markers from that connector.

From the lexia menu, you can only update the current version... If you have V45, you can update to V45.01, V45.03, etc... But you can not update to version V46, V47, etc, via internet, only by dvd.

Measured Values

Program displays live Data like Engine Speed, Battery voltage, Oxygen Sensor, Coolant Temperature, etc. Values can be displayed in graph, 9 values at once, or full listing (all measured values). Logging to file is also supported, which allows offline analysis. what am i doing wrong
