Peugeot Planet Problems (Cant communicate with ecu)

Hello everyone.
So I bought this Chinese Lexia3 cable. it came with 2 dvds one having diagbox and one having Lexia3 and pp2000.

After a lot of sweat I managed to install diagbox in an Oracle VirtualBox VM and managed to activate it and update it.
I also managed to connect the interface , install its drivers and to read its firmware which was 4.3.0 with the interface checker.

So I happily went to connect it to my newly acquired 307 1.6 which has some Antipollution fault... and.... it cant communicate with the vehicle. I tried virtualy everything... with no luck.
I tried running with admin rights... nothing
I tried running with all ignition switch states... nothing
I even tried reinstalling Everything including the vm and diagbox, or pp2000 as stand alone.... nothing....
Although every time I see the interface connecting... and the pp also sees the interface (cause if it doesnt its quiting with a failure message)... I keep getting the message that the ecu hasnt replied.
I even tried to connect to an other 307 2.0 but still nothing

Is my interface not working? how can I test this?
The only thing I havent tried and I would if I could is to install win xp on my laptop... which I actually did... but I couldnt find the drivers for any of the laptops devices so I scraped that...

Any help would be appriciated.
Thank you very much.

You have updated planet to too new a version most likely just because updates are there does not mean you should use them :)

Lots of people have problems with 307s especially with updated systems I am running the version it installs with and have never felt the need to update anything it works fine so no updates for me.

Agreed, my version is quite old ( V22.24 ) and it does 307's no problem.

Some Chinese boxes, with the LED, are faulty with suspect soldering - is there someone on the Planet map that can use their box on your laptop, just to eliminate it....

I actually tried to connect every time before I update to the next version... NOTHING :( ... I never managed to connect to the ecu. I am suspecting a faulty interface card too... unfortunately I am in Denmark and I am not sure if there is anyone around here to test my unit.

On your laptop only use the shorter of the two cables there is a folder on the dvd with the drivers Ensure you Install the drivers and then connect the Lexia to every single USB port and watch to see if it Installs the drivers to each Port

the longer lead was no good on My Lexia

If you could not connect you should not have updated you need to sort 1 thing before updating as you then end up chasing your tail.

Does planet see the adapter ok is the light coming on in it as I remember 1 of my installs would only work in 1 usb port but not in any others !!

Let me try to explain the situation again to avoid misunderstanding. The interface is accessible via the computer. The interface checker is recognizing the interface and it can also update the firmware in it.
The problem is that pp2000 although it is starting (and as far as I understand you need to be connected to the interface in order to start pp2000) it gives me an error that Cant Connect to the ECU. thats that.

I have the problem with b revision of the cloned Lexia. At first I didnt abd tried it with newest pp2000 and lexia and of course it didnot work. After that I found older version. I reinstalled xpsp3 and installed pp2000 22.14. Now when I connect it to car it recognizes model and vin number but after that it do not connect to any ecu. If I turn it off and start again it again recognizes vin number and model but not communicate with any ecu. Will it help if I find somehow to update it to c revision. I have Peugeot 407 2006 year.

As I said Rev B will not work for 307 models earlier than 2004, you must refund/exchange/sell and get rev C. I went through this myself, its the only car that has troubles..

As an example do not buy this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PP2000-lexi...-Tool-Scanner-Interface-/300927941335?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4610b3fad7

Rather buy this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-PSA-DI...eugeot-Citroen-/301581098047?hash=item4637a25c3f&item=301581098047&var=&vxp=mtr

Now if you want to get real picky and go for quality chips and check for NEC chips as in something like this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/A-Or...t-Serial-921815C-Firmware-Newest-Lexia-3-citroen-PP2000-V48-V25/1387642858.html

Hope that Helps you..
