#1: PP2000 Author: LiamGTi180, Location: OxfordPosted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 10:59 am ---- I am looking to get PP2000 and need to know a few things
Where is the best place to buy (genuine)?
Also I have heard about PP clones, is there a way to disguish a clone and what are the dangers of using one?
Thanks
#2: Re: PP2000 Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 12:39 pm ---- The price is the main difference between genuine and the clone. I'm sure Lee once said that the genuine PP2000 was about £3000. The clones start from about £70.
It's the lead that's the most important part. The software is available on the internet if you know where to look.
The latest software is Diagbox which has replaced PP2000. I think Diagbox works on Vista and 7, where as PP2000 will only run on XP.
The clones can cause problems with the BSI and I don't think you can do updates with it. If you get the genuine dealer spec, then you should be able to do anything the dealer does.

#5: Re: PP2000 Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 1:36 pm ---- I've got a clone lead. Not had a problem with it although I won't use it to change settings just in case the BSI screws up. It's OK for ABS and airbag fault finding and resetting the EML/airbag lights and it seems to access all the menus without any issues.
I think 99.9% of people with PP2000 on their home laptop are probably running a clone version.
#6: Re: PP2000 Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 2:12 pm ---- Ive used my clone from Ebay without problems. Even used it for some BSI tweeks.
Macca, did you ever get diagbox to install on Win 7?
#7: Re: PP2000 Author: LiamGTi180, Location: OxfordPosted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 2:54 pm ---- Cheers for your help. I am looking at doing several things. One thing is to activate the automatic locking when going over 5mph. I've tried holding the button etc so it must be deactivated
#8: Re: PP2000 Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Tue Dec 04, 2012 3:24 pm ---- the anti hijack feature isn't on all BSIs.
Never got it sorted Steve. Tried vista and 7 but the crack didn't make any sense on either OS. Ran a dual boot system so I could run PP2000 on XP. Just bought a cheap XP laptop so i can run a stand alone system. Last edited by macca1411 on Wed Dec 05, 2012 8:20 am; edited 1 time in total

#10: Re: PP2000 Author: LiamGTi180, Location: OxfordPosted: Wed Dec 05, 2012 8:05 pm ---- Another quick question. I have purchased a kit now it comes with pp2000 and diagbox. Can I use diagbox in the same way as pp2000 or is it completely different?
#11: Re: PP2000 Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Thu Dec 06, 2012 5:09 am ---- Just stick with PP.
#12: Re: PP2000 Author: LiamGTi180, Location: OxfordPosted: Thu Dec 06, 2012 8:01 am ---- Ok cheers for your help mate. Other than activating the auto locking and rear wiper when reversing what other things could be activated. I'm sure I recall someone saying they have activated a function which folds in the electric mirrors when the car is locked. That would be pretty cool
