the disks are user manual. amd the tis2000 software that you install into a pc to interface with the tech 2. in order for the tis2000 to work fully it needs a security key to unlock the programming section of the software. you gotta make sure that you get a key dongle with the software package or it ...

no doubt.

Holden apparently. :dontknow:

I know mine doesn't have any specific "cards" and I get into G8's all the time. LIke I said, I just did a transmission "Fast-Learn" on a G8 with it last week.


why do you say holden? is it marketed here in the nao as a gm? and what brand is it? pontiac? then it ...

I sent them a list of cars I wanted to use it on (ranging from 96 to '09) and asked if one card would work for all. Reply was as follows:
" This product support 6 series cars GM,Holden,Isuzu,Opel,Saab,Suzuki. But the order is with 1pc free software. So you need to tell us which card do you need ...

I guess here is where the confusion is coming in;

1) GM started utilizing the Tech 2 in service departments in 1996 (1995 in California), as that is when they went to the OBDII protocol.

Repeatedly you have stated yours works on 1999 - 2013;
these will work on any gm based vehicle from 1999 to ...

issue solved. i traced the harness down out of the tank area and found a break in one of the wires. spliced and heat shrinked, it works good as new.

sorry. sometimes i gotta put a check in it. didn't mean to be a bullhead. it's just that the answers to 99.9% of the questions you all have are written in the description of the pieces you are looking at. read. and if you don't understand, they have a messaging function there on ali express, and all ...

I see this often at the dealership.
I have replaced the ABS harness, after locating a bad section.
Usually in an area where the wire is subjected to a lot of twisting motion while the car is being steered of suspension is moving up and down.

Use a multimeter and move the wire around until you can ...

I think the GM MDI system will go back to 2009, but the Tech2 seems to work as far as its updated. Obviously I don't have any 2012-2013 vehicles to try it on though.

It will work on any GM OBD2, meaning 1996+.

Here you can see its updated to 2013.

Is it ok to sell these units because they are not being sold in the US?

Older news but a local VA resident was busted for selling units like this and got in a lot of trouble with GM over it. http://www.justice.gov/usao/vae/news/2012/09/20120926dematteonr.html

To reflash a PCM you need to have a subscription to GM's services, which costs mega bucks. I don't have that capability on mine or the clone. The Tech2 can certainly be updated. The one I got has 2013 software on it, the same as my original. I'm not sure how a scantool would fry your electronics ...

brandy brand new

i took my tech 2, and connected it to my laptop and opened up the tsi2000 software that i bought with it, and unlocked it with the dongle provided with the software. as soon as i did that you can do diagnostics of the tech 2, and log into the g.m. website with them. i did that and checked the ...

after talking a little more with my friend that works in the garage that has the clone version, he told me that the only thing he has noticed that these don't do are the latter year models that dip into mdi years. once they brought the mdi on line,,,they started to phase out the usefulness of the ...

and for any more of you that doubt that these are good solid products,,,these aren't for you,,,you won't be settled and feeling easy till you drop a grand on one from a dealership, only to find out that it was manufactured in china too. and if you don't think i'm telling the truth,,,,i asked a ...

no. it doesn't mean that it is watered down and you gotta buy the program for one vehicle. you get the full array. there are different languages, and different vehicle manufacturers. they dates and the languages are the main issue when you order the cards. all you gotta do is tell them which ...

when you ordfer the tech 2 they will ask you what year and make your vehicle is. they will provide with the proper software to use for your car. when you buy, there is a whole list of vehicles to choose from.
