Chinacargiags - "gm tech2 lacks the chips"

[Scottydoggs]

nobody I know or have seen has been able to get abs/srs to come up with any bluetooth adapter, it supposedly works on other makes or brand vehicle but not on GM, I have a gang of bt obd adapters and have tried them on a variety of app's, maybe i am doing something wrong

all i can tell you is it works for me on my tahoe, and it worked on my 98 regal. ive yet to need to plug it into my camaro yet. ive got a old damn its got to be 16 years old now elm327 blue tooth, but thos have been hijacked by china junk, the bafx brand works the best these days. but it does work. ive got the free version that was available from years ago before the pay for the full app started. maybe its just got no ad's? idk.

I have a fairly old elm as well but when I try to use even that with say torque it won't do it, oh well I still have a gang of other stuff to use lol, tech2, innova 5610, vxnano, mdi1, mdi2, and a couple other little scanners and the maestro rr is always plugged in so if anything happens it pops up on the radio with the code

And the saga continues - after telling them that I would like to cancel the order since they cannot fill it and have no idea when the product might be available I received this response:

Not sure what is going on over there but I am now screenshotting all of this in the event that they refuse to issue a refund. I know that people have had better experiences in the past but the whole "please send us more money because we found your product somewhere else" sounds super shady to me.

They played a similar game with me when it came to a faulty VCI module in my unit. Thats why I asked if you had received a refund…

sounds like they are deciding to eat a little profit to try and keep the sale instead of having to refund and make nothing, classic for how they conduct business over there.

What are they offering to you? Have a link?

What are they offering to you? Have a link?

Not sure what they're offering - the original offer said that it was "another factory, same functions, but higher cost". The only link they provided was to their paypal account. I did just received another email from them confirming that they will cancel the order tomorrow morning their time - so by the end of the day here? I'll post when I receive confirmation of the refund.

Thanks for the heads up - I think I am going to try the VCXNano. I can order that through Canadian amazon and don't have to worry about additional charges at the border. Also, it is significantly cheaper and I have a spare laptop - worth a try at least.

 

[MassHoe04]

Sounds like it was another source and might have had additional shipping costs, but they aren't charging any more.
If it were me, I would probably just let them ship it.

He mentioned from another plant... Didn't sound like any kind of bait and switch, just a different factory.

If it is not 100% to your satisfaction, you could always turn around and throw it up on E-bay.

I don't think they would offer anything that was junk or not meeting their standards. The unit I got had excellent build quality. Everything was very sturdy and worked perfect out of the box. But if you are sketched-out completely...
