Lexia vs Diagbox vs Peugeot Planet PP2000

This write-up explains what the difference is among Lexia, Diagbox and Peugeot Planet PP2000, which would be a good idea for a total newbie in car diagnostics software that Lexia 3 cable required.
Both Diagbox and PP2000 are used to connect to the car's ECU and carry out diagnostics and manage settings. Which is a better software, however?
Lexia: Citroen, Planet: Peugeot, Diagbox: Citroen & Peugeot
Lexia3 - hardware
Lexia - Software for Citroen
Planet - Software for Peugeot
Diagbox - Front end which contains variations of both of the above
Diagbox is the only one which is still updated.
The hardware is currently on Revision C.
Diagbox: newer, PP2000: quicker
PP2000 and Diagbox are roughly the same thing , Diagbox being the newer software ,
PP2000 is a quicker software but will become obsolete over the next few years as Peugeot will stop using it this year ,
no point in getting PP2000 then having to change to Diagbox
Peugeot Planet: easier and faster
I have planet and also being a newbie installed planet then diagbox they both worked fine though diagbox was a lot slower (you have to start diagbox then choose planet off the option list) so basically if its just for use on your own car then using planet on its own is easier and faster though if your going to attempt using the interface on other vehicles may as well install diagbox with planet and lexia
Lexia + PP200 = Diagbox
lexia is for citreon
planet pp2000 is for peugeot
put both programmes into one software = diagbox
if your going to buy it you might asswell get diagbox which most new interfaces come with anyway.
Both Lexia & PP2000 available within Diagbox
They are the same.... the discs supplied usually contain PP2000 and Diagbox on one disc (PP2000 is also available within the Diagbox installation), and lexia for Citroens on the other. Lexia is also available within Diagbox.
So if you find an interface with rev C, the software discs will contain everything you need and more.
PP2000 on 32-bit, Diagbox on 64-bit
Planet will only run on 32-bit. Diagbox will run on 64-bit, but when you try to call Planet through Diagbox it will crash because it must have 32-bit.
What I do is install VMWare Player (free). Using that, create a virtual machine XP SP3 32-bit (you will need the disk and key). Then install Planet into that. Works well. Sounds very techy, but it is surprisingly easy, because VMWare is so well documented. When installing Planet, do not plug the Lexia interface in to the PC until prompted.
Planet & Diagbox are software Lexia cable required
The Lexia is the cable required to use the software. Only the cable.
To use the cable you will need software as well, Peugeot Planet and Diagbox are the 2 pieces of software to choose from.
Diagbox is much newer software that supports even the latest cars. However I prefer the interface of Peugeot Planet, much easier not to get lost in there.
Generally when you buy a Lexia software will be included on a disk. As to whether it is genuine or not, you should check with the seller before purchase.

Ktag Firmware 7.020 Review

Here are reviews of Ktag fw v7.020 clone.
(Big thanks to all users’s feedback)
I try with edc16c31 smart 451, read write in bdm ok with ktag, read write ok in obd with kess.
I tested with a lot of edc17 in these day and read and write without problem.
I made a video with a edc17c50 bmw 120d f21 with gpt, read and write ok.
I have a fiat edc17c69 virgin (without software inside), this I can't read.
My Ktag 7.020is able to read and write EDC17C69
7.020 version runs faster and more stable.
Ktag 7.02 good working. no problem.
Ktag master 7.020 displays diagrams via words, not pictures. It’s better to understand0
I tried to read Bosch edc17c69 gpt Fiat 500X and not working, with ktag ori read and write ok.
I read a lot of edc17 and few edc17 with gpt and all read and write ok maybe there is a bug in sw/fw from alientech.
virtual reading is = servidor ALIen.
virtual reading id ecu , and download firmware.
Not real soft.

I compared 7.020 with my old 7.003. KTAG fw 7.020 adds 100+ ECU types and supports new car models e.g. Toyota 76FXXX, PSA 17.4.4, Ford E83, VW 17.5.5 (1766), Mercedes-Benz 276 ECU, Toyota 76F, etc. It should be a good budget i think.
The clone Ktag 7.020 canreadmy 2013 Opel Insignia EDC17C59
I’ve got two versions of ktag 7.020, one with green PCB and the other with blue PCB. No much difference when using both.
