A: No. The official Actia PSA XS Evolution driver is Windows-only. Mac users must run Windows via Boot Camp or a VM with USB passthrough (VMware Fusion works; VirtualBox often fails).
Windows will scan the folder and identify the driver. You may receive a warning: "Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software."
Once complete, the Device Manager entry should change from "Other devices" to "Ports (COM & LPT)". It will likely appear as "ACTIA XS Evolution (COMx)" where 'x' is the assigned COM port number.
The Actia PSA XS Evolution is heavily counterfeited. Cloned units often use a cloned 9780Z5 label but contain a cheap PIC microcontroller instead of the authentic Actia ASIC.
| Error Message | Likely Cause | Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | "Interface not found" | Driver not installed or COM port conflict. | Re-install driver manually via Device Manager. Check USB cable. | | "Activation error" | Firmware mismatch. | Update the interface firmware via the Diagbox "Tools" menu (requires internet access). | | "Driver installation blocked" | Windows Security settings. | Disable Driver Signature Enforcement (See Section 4). | | Yellow Triangle in Device Manager | Incorrect driver selected by Windows. | Manually update driver, selecting "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer." Choose ACTIA USB Devices. |
Before discussing drivers, we must understand the hardware. The ACTIA PSA XS Evolution is a high-performance vehicle interface (VCI—Vehicle Communication Interface). It succeeds older generation XS interfaces by offering faster CAN bus speeds, better voltage stability, and compatibility with the latest DiagBox and PP2000 software.
The sub-reference 9780Z5 typically identifies a specific hardware revision or regional variant of the XS Evolution. This variant is known for:
The ACTIA PSA XS Evolution (Part Number: 9780Z5) is a proprietary diagnostic tool used primarily for Peugeot and Citroën vehicles (PP2000 and Diagbox software). Unlike modern "Plug-and-Play" devices, this interface requires specific USB drivers to be manually installed before the diagnostic software can recognize the hardware.
Target Software: Diagbox, Peugeot Planet 2000 (PP2000), Lexia 3. Supported OS: Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 10 (32-bit and 64-bit). Note: Windows 10 requires driver signature enforcement to be disabled for older firmware versions.
