Improved feature for unsubscribing from email notifications

As part of the work being done to improve the deliverability of emails, I have made some changes to the system for unsubscribing from email notifications.

These changes are to ensure stricter compliance with RFC2369 and RFC8058 (which are the internet standards for such things), there are also some additions for Microsoft-specific rules which are...

We cannot currently deliver notification or registration emails to users with @outlook.com an @hotmail.com email addresses.

This is due to Microsoft having designated our server as being a junk mail source, apparently because some users have been moving our notification emails to their 'junk' folders.

Hey all,
I'm trying to use the supescan, through Bluetooth adapter but get security key error.
How do I get the code for my 2006 C5 petrol 2000 to be able to configure stuff?

Last post

We recommend you use Diagbox or Lexia. There are no security codes needed for scanning PSA cars. I suggest you contact the vendor of the kit you are using - it's not a car issue. It is likely your kit is not able to worl with full CAN vehicles and probably doesn't recognise all the ECUs.

Last post

Chattering noise when trying to crank/start suggests battery voltage is low, or a bad starter motor connection.
Try a jump start from another vehicle, and check the main battery connections (battery terminals) after cranking. If either gets at all warm, that indicates a bad connection at/inside the connector.

Best thing to do is get it read with a Lexia diagnostic and post the fault codes up here with your VIN. The faults will give an indication of possible causes - but without that - there are too many variables.

Replicate OEM radio buttons from diagbox (missing MODE key)

by elpaquito » 07 Apr 2019, 15:09

First post

Hello everybody,

Let me to introduce you an issue that it's bothering me since some weeks ago.

I've recently removed the OEM RD45 headunit from my DS3, and replaced it with an aftermarket 2din headunit (+ Connects2 interface so I could retain steering wheel controls).

The external interface let me not only to use the steering wheel controls to...

Last post

No - will not interface with the electronic architecture - different BSI too. As you mentioned - actuator tests are just tests of the controls / functions / button, but cannot programme their functions.

Lexia (re) activation

by Monkeyfeet » 01 Mar 2019, 18:15

First post

Had an (admittedly brief) search but haven't turned up much of a match -
I've had to reinstall XP on the old laptop I use for running Lexia. I installed the Lexia prog with no issues but it seems to need re-activation almost every time I start it.
I close the prog down and then the laptop down properly. Laptop back-up battery appears ok - it...

Last post

Hi Marc, sorry for the delay in replying (to your reply). No diagbox installed, just Lexi (v3.47). I've since re-installed os and Lexia, I'll see how it goes this time. Going to start a separate thread for the Lexia error code with a suitable title for any one doing a search search in the future.

Meaning of reference values in Diagbox?

Sorry for my multiple threads lately but just a quick question! In Diagbox there are few places where there are 'reference values' & i don't know what these mean or where they come from ? I've scanned the car on different days this past week & am getting different values each time for 'coolant temp reference value'. The 'coolant temp' stays pretty...

Lexia? Diagbox?

by rmunns » 30 Mar 2019, 20:39

First post

Please, would someone briefly describe (single syllable words only) what a Lexia is and what is diagbox?

Thanks for the replies.

I guess I'll just have to rely on my old engineering skills then. IT knowledge is rudimentary, not much patience..........................

I have diagbox 7.57 running & need to read the fuel rail pressure & crank position sensor but i can't find them anywhere ?

For the fuel pressure if I go into > injection/ignition, then I am offered these options:

3.jpg

Then if i go into > fuel injection and emission control, there is nothing for fuel pressure:

5.jpg...

Last post

Yeah there is a smell of fuel when cranking + I can hear the pump priming with ignition on. Yes I saw that the ECU was 'unlocked' in one of the menus.

Yeah I'll need to check the basics next, I'll look at spark first. I just wish i had a code or two to send me in the right direction!

Anyway thanks for the help

Diagbox not closing

by max1 » 20 Mar 2019, 18:11

First post

After installing a few updates from the initial install of 7.02 the software now won’t close. After each update (am now on 7.57) i was able to close Diagbox ok after it installed the “internet updates”, but then after restarting the laptop & then opening Diagbox again - when I try to close it just says “Closing of the application in progress,...

Last post

Funny because I did allow all connections as & when it prompted & the updates installed fine it was just closing it that was the problem. The only way to get it to close was turning it off completely. Maybe just a glitch on my particular machine. Thx

citroen doc backup error code

by Bandit12 » 27 Apr 2018, 10:15

First post

Morning peeps

Just tried to access Citroen doc backup and encountered this error (see attached screenshot) seems to be some kind of javascrpt thing but I'm not pc savvy, any ideas? Scratch that as cant attach screenshot! like I said not pc savvy

It reads Error initializationbackup Systray:class javanet.Socket extension.

Any ideas?

Bandit

Last post

Hi Harry,
This may be of help, had similar problems with my copy of Sedre/Doc Back up purchased online a while ago.
It worked for me except it now does not recognise my VIN number, but that may be a fault else where in the system/program.

Good Luck.

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...

Hi
I’ve had lexia/planet for many years on an old laptop, unfortunately today the laptop has gone fauty and won’t boot up. Obviously I still have the hardware but can’t find the disc.
As it’s so long since I bought it I was wondering is the software available separately and is there a newer version or does it still run on XP ?
