GM Tech2 Diagnostic Scan Tool Review

VXDIAG VCX NANO GM  +  TIS2000 : IT works!! ok for anyone trying to use the VXDIAG GM nano with SPS this is what you need to do (order is important): *** please note you cannot use the VM that the VXDIAG package comes with (GDS2 VM). It’s configured in such a way it won’t work with the dongle crack and caused me a lot of head scratching to find this out. 1. Create a windows XP 32bit VM using VMWare Player 2. Make sure you add an LPT port (set to auto, not connected on startup). It doesn’t matter if your actual PC has an LPT port or not this is needed for the dongle crack later. 3. Install VMWare tools for your VM 4.After you have the windows VM up and running install the BOSH MDI drivers found (theMDI drivers on the driver disk and vxmanager installer wouldn’t install on my xp 32bit VM but the one from bosh does). 5.From the driver disk or from  allscanner.com  install the VXDIAG MDI package with pass thru driver (VXDIAG MDI manager or VXDIAG Manager) Free download tis_data_

GM has had its newest programming/J2534 Pass Thru device on the market for some years now. A lot has been said about it and I am here to tell you that I have finally taken the plunge into GM MDI in, pretty much, all of its aspects. I decided after taking it into the field for a while, it was time to report what I experienced and how I feel about MDI and its companion programs. It is a formidable diagnostic/programming system that has really benefited me more than it has impeded me. With just a few exceptions, this system has my stamp of approval. let me say right out of the gate that my intent is not to do anything but provide you with information that can be found on any of the literature that GM has provided for MDI, Tech II WIN and GDS II users. What I am offering you is a slightly more comprehensive report of these facts as I understand them, have experienced. Additionally, I am NOT an engineer before I am a vehicle technician and automotive trainer, thus my approach is view of a t

The Tech2 clone is definitely fine, but I think people looking for a good tool now should really look at an MDI clone instead. The Future of the Tech 2 The Tech 2 remains an essential tool through at least the 2010 model year. The GM MDI will not support past models when its diagnostic capabilities are introduced. And, the Tech2 will continue to be needed to diagnose all vehicles fromprevious model years. Remote programming with the Tech 2 will continue to be supported for use on all 2007 and previous vehicles.Additional information will be supplied in future. HOW WILL THE G-M MDI BE USED? The new G-M MDI can be used only in the Pass-Thru method. This means you can use it as your programming tool, while your Tech 2/CANdi remains available for diagnostics and other duties. I have issues with it, however: The GM MDI will not support past models when its diagnostic capabilities are introduced. I'm not sure what this means. The GM MDI WILL clearly support past model years with the Te

This article is just sharing real experience when use GM Tech 2 . Hope this helps someone. I decided to invest in some tools to diagnose my Opel. After a couple weeks of searching all over ebay, aliexpress and other online store, I finally found the cheapest one on uobdii.com, they were very fast to respond and answer all of my questions. I exchanged emails with Customer service for about 3 days before I finally decided to purchase a tech 2 clone here. I ordered it on Tuesday and I picked it up at Friday (I missed the fed ex guy and you have to sign for it). Yes, it only took 3 days delivery! I paid $349 for it. The quality of this is amazing. I would never be able to tell it was a clone. I hooked it up to my car and was able to replaces Opel Corsa-C ECU. So here it is…. Below is the procedure, I search and learn from forum members: Obtain all ECU pin codes especially second hand ECUs (immobilizer or engine). Scan old ECU to obtain VIN code and then obta
