Never run Diagbox with your PC date set in the future. | | "No dialog with ECU" | Version 7.57 is too high for a 2004 car. | Use the "Lexia" interface in Diagbox settings to downgrade temporarily. Or, keep a second VM with only 7.02 for old cars. | | "The global configuration is corrupt" | BSI communication error. | Check your car's battery voltage. Diagbox is highly sensitive.
