 Where do I find a guide to starting with Lexia. Got all the pieces and CDs, but nice to have introduction. Where to find the socket, how to install, etc etc

 Install on your laptop following the 'readme' file on the Lexia CD

OBII socket is inside the front central armrest, at the bottom, front.

"Lexia for Dummies" - that's exactly what I need! I have it installed on a laptop, connected to the car, and STILL can't work out what I am supposed to do with it!

You have to install it on Windows XP, might work on XP-mode under Win 7. Since you obviously are from Norway, there is a good guide on the Swedish "Citroenakuten" (citroenakuten.com) for installation. When it comes to the use of Lexia, I have not seen any guide, except in particular cases, but play around with it!

Go to the last part of the page where Lexia is mentioned and go in to that area.

 Can someone confirm that Lexia WILL work with 2.7 c6? I have used diagbox 7.04 for years for C5's (working 100%) but it seems it cannot talk to C6 (will not allow me all settings etc). Updated to 7.5x but no luck yet. Should I update more?

First thing I would like to do: change windscreen wiper stalk to "old" wipe-0-auto-1-2 setting instead of stupid wipe/auto-0-1-2

Hi Joopajaa,
Should work fine. Others might advise on the best place to purchase.

 Thanks Dave - I allready have Lexia. Basically it just does not allow me to go to any "customisation" screens nor fault codes etc.

 Lexia should work fine on any C6. Diagbox replaced it sometime 2013/14 (I think)

What version (at the diagbox screen before starting Lexia)? I would prefer the Lexia if can find a version to talk 100% with my car.

 Diagbox actually includes Lexia, e.g. my diagbox includes Lexia 5.0

 Diagbox includes Lexia, that is true but at least with my version (7.60 I think) it does not do much, if I remember correctly it only finds the BSI. That´s why I loaded Lexia onto another computer separately and then it has all the functions.
