About Lexia 3 cables

[carlomm]

Hello this my 1st post

I just buyed the Lexia 3 unit on E-bay and I'm waiting for fixing a dedicated noteboo to install the software. In the meanteam I have observed the cables received with the main unit and I don't understand the use on my Berlingo 1.6 Diesel XTR (march 2015) for any of these. Can anyone suggest a manual or any read about it.

Thanks to all and excuse me for "italianized" English.

Ciao carlomm and welcome to the forum.  They generally come with several cables but the one you need has a wide green plug on one end and that connects to a gray box.  The other end of the gray box has a short cable attached and that attaches to the cable with the appropriate connector on one end and a USB connector on the other end.  USB goes to your laptop and the wide green connector connects to the car under the steering wheel (you need to remove the covering plastic from the fuse box to the center of the car).  At least that is how it works on my 2010.  There might possibly be changes on later models.

See picture attached.

I bougth it in Ebay from UK but actually I'm working hard to install the software the initially .ISO file was corrupted and the instruction in Russian or Chinese don't help really; vendors sent mi a Torrent and English video instructions to sw install.

Actually every time I start the DiagBox a long time is required for an inesitent update from internet, very nag .

Thank to all
