Problem with connection to DiagBox (video)

[JensJakob]

Try running te software without plugging in the USB connector - if you get different behaviour you know your laptop is 'talking' to the interface.
If it's quiet in your car you can usually hear a relay click inside the interface when it communicates with the car.
If it doesn't do this, try another car, or prove that your diagnostic port supply fuse is not blown.
(For cars after DAM 9000, this should be fuse F4 in the engine fusebox, for earlier cars it will be F14).

I have tried to "connecting" without the USB connector, and it seems to be the same. I can hear a relay clicking. I am sure, the fuse is not blown.

You have the PP2000 (Peugeot Planet) already, it shows in your video.

Regarding the connection, just make sure the 2 sections are firmly pushed together.

Okay, then I do not think, that connection is the problem. I pushed them hard together. I do not think I can isolate PP2000 from diagbox. Correct me if I am wrong?

You may already have the old PP2k installer on the CD(s) that came with your hardware. It will have version number something like 23 or 24.

On one of my attempts with DiagBox it did indeed just start up the familiar PP2k, but with version number 600. This is the one where I couldn't get PP2k couldn't see the hardware because DiagBox was using it hence the unplug-and-plug-back-in.

It seems like to software is very sensitive. I will try to install PP2000 on a clean computer. Will I have to install Lexia first?

If you have an old laptop with XP, I'd recommend just re-installing XP from scratch (assuming you have or can get the CD, and have a licence key) - it will be so much faster with a fresh install, especially if it's many years old.

I didn't even try it with any newer OS as I had seen so many people online having trouble with the software. I also couldn't get Lexia 3 or PP2000 working in a functional way so just went with DiagBox, and it's working fine for me in XP and with DIagBox version 7.33 with my '02 406 2.0 HDi (RHY engine, Siemens ECU).

I had serious trouble the first time I installed DiagBox, but when I tried again I left the USB interface connected at all times through the installation process and things seemed ok after that. Some more info here viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21706

Thank you so much for your reply. I actually used your "guide" until I ran out of storage. My brother has cleaned the computer entirely and I can pick it up today. Now it has enough storage and with your help I can hopefully install Diagbox succesfully.

IT WORKS!

I had to remove the entire DiagBox and install it one more time.

I found a solution to another problem which I can read is well-known. I tried restarting the computer; did not work. I tried to connect the USB-interface before and after opening DiagBox; did not work. Then I did as follows and THAT worked:
1. I just pressed "OK" in the lower right corner and kept DiagBox open.
2. Disconnected the USB-interface.
3. Reconnected the USB-interface.
4. Pressed PP2000 again.

Well done!

No-one seems to have an easy time getting it to work. It's all part of the sureal experience that is Peugeot ownership.

I do agree! Charming but tricky to understand
