X7 and Lexia

Post by dkx19 »

Hello
With some ebay sellers saying this about their Lexia "But please pay attention, according to our customer's experience, this item can not works good at C5 new models."
Have any X7 owners had success with any of the ebay Chinese Lexias, and if so, which one?

TIA

You need a full chip Revision 'C'. Any that have this statement - personally I would avoid or you will very likely be returning it. These don;t work well with full CAN vehicles.

You cannot tell the quality of the kits without opening them up to see if they contain all the hardware, so your best bet is if it's too cheap then it probably isn't the full ticket.

Anything under £100 is probably not a full chip kit.

There is a UK supplier here with a discount for members:

Other suppliers are available.
