It also said it was Wifi but did not come with a wireless card but with a wireless interface instead.
#ALTERNATIVE TO GM TECH 2 SCAN TOOL INSTALL#
The product image at the time I order showed the cable keeper, A/C 12 volt adapter and multiple diagnostic interface user’s guide CD which is used to install the MDI manager software on your laptop. It works extremely well and I have no problems with it. It worked since I already had Tech2Win, GDS2 and GM MDI Manager installed on my laptop. The MDI came ready to use with the software installed. Price: USD259 + shipping cost(based on your country) Tested with GDS2 v.12.ĭevice works with Tech2Win. Note that there are different versions of GM MDI china clone and the quality may vary coz they are produced in different factory, especially PCB design.

So, no matter it’s used for DIY fun or professional repair work, a GM MDI clone of high quality is definitely no issues. Therefore, it’s easy to find that the GM MDI 2 multiple diagnostic interface only improves in hardware design and running speed.īut the price ($12000) of MDI 2 is 4 or 6 times as MDI 1 ($150-$300). This is a chart of GM Multiple diagnostic interface comparison: GM MDI 1 vs. SP23-B,SP23-B3 the same factory,the packing is different,one is with plastic case,one not. SP23,SP23-1 the same,just the package case is different,one is with plastic case,one not. No comment on China knockoff quality, I mean a working tech2, Chinese made or not.Īll of GM Tech2 are same functions,they are just from different factory. If you’re doing a lot of work on GMs or want to get a lot more in depth with your car, it’s worth the money. Is it worth if you just want to read/clear codes on your own car once in a while, heck no. I’m sure someone has custom software to do it but there are easier ways nowadays. The TECH2 can’t do any sort of modding/tuning, only upload GM flashes. To adjust shift points and fuel consumptiona and Speedo, forget it. At school I used one with a 91+ cartridge on my 87 S10, so going back further is hit or miss but posible. you can also view fuel trims, emissions readyness (beyond a green LED for all OK) and It’ll talk to ALL the modules rather than just the ECM (and if you get into the $250+scanners, ABS) like BCM, SIR, entertainment, EVERYTHING on a GM. In addition to generic codes (P0000-P0999) It’ll do all the proprietary GM codes (P1xxx), actuators, and systems. with the right software (plug in chips like nintendo cartridges) it’ll do some daewoo/suzuki, GM medium duty (meaning bigger than 3500 using non automotive OBD2 standards), and other in the GMdistant family tree too. In short, that is a nice piece of equipment to have, very nice!Īside from working beautifully with OBD2, the tech2 is the scanner for GM OBD1 to use. S econd, worth to have a Tech 2 China clone? Sometimes it comes and all labels need to glue yourself. As different numbers on the back cover, the photo you will see the difference. Next, the original at all wires and Candy use aluminum. The first thing I look, it's the memory card slot, open it up and look at the cover, if you see the stamp of the body exactly original.

All MDI functions require a GM subscription.į irst, How to find the original or fake. The MDI is pretty much only used for programming but its needs on certain 10+ platforms and all 15+ to view data through GDS.
#ALTERNATIVE TO GM TECH 2 SCAN TOOL CODE#
The tech 2 is great for code reading, viewing data. It never updates security correctly for the 30 day window and that using GM computers and login info. You can say that, Tech2win is a pain the the butt. Just don't fall for these $350 pieces of garbage. For the garage warrior or enthusiast, get a Tech 2. The Tech 2 can be updated within itself and doesn't require the internet, the MDI does. That's it's only draw back for the enthusiast who wants a GM caliber scanner. However, the MDI requires a GM log-in with monthly access to GM's website. Then again I've got a Genysis scanner I use for all my typical diagnostics & probing. I sold my Tech 2 and bought an MDI last year, haven't missed the Tech 2 since. The MDI is a 1 shot deal for all the newer PCMs and will still work on the older stuff too. It still has a lot of capability and will do anything you need for the older platforms but it needs the CANdi module to work with any of the new stuff. Tech 2 scan tool has become obsolete for shop use as of late. what’s the difference of MDI genuine & clone? Looking for a GM MDI interface or Tech 2 scanner and don’t know which one (original or clone) should you take?
