If the lap top is on, on desk top, do I then connect the usb lead from the "interface lead and box" to the laptop and open pp2000?
The 306 option is either a salon or convertible ( r ? ) , ours being an estate.
Plug Lexia 3 in before you boot Diagbox/PP2000. When you're asked to validate the application click the red cross (I.e. no).
You need to choose 306 for a phase 1 and 306R for phase 2 or 3. The 'R' refers to 'restyling' and the picture of a cabriolet is just there to confuse you!!
When you get asked to enter a DAM, this is the build code for the car. For a Phase 2/3 you should be able to find it on a label in the drainage recess behind the n/s front suspension turret.
After that I generally get a message that the PP2000 interface is not connected to a USB port. At that point I have to pull the USB from the back of the laptop and then put it back in. Also, I have read you should use the USB port that Lexia 3 was plugged in to when you set it up.
Like you say, it's not that user friendly but once you've got it connected the best way is to have a play until you know what you get an idea of what you're doing.
I assume you have a diesel? I have a petrol 306 and it does show some live data but probably different from a diesel engine model.
Good luck!
