Looking for MDI to replace Tech 2 for pass through device.

[dkad260]

I will likely keep the Tech 2, but for reprogramming and flashing modules, need to get with the times.

I have no idea where to look, what to get, would like to keep the price under $500 if that's an option.

Will be used with a windows laptop on vehicles older than 2016 (for now).

All input appreciated.

I was looking at this initially, was skeptical considering the price but my Tech 2 clone has not had any issues so maybe these are as reliable.

that should work, getting the gds2 software to work with it might get tricky so i would take the hard drive option for +$50 becuase it will have the software and they should together out of the box.
I have one without the hard drive and it is struggle to make it work. It will update with the latest firmware but then even when using it with the hacked gds2 software then it won't go because it want's a license. So I wouldn't mess with the firmware unless it tells you to.

Sorry for the late reply - that pesky job and the never ending class work is keeping me way to busy with little free time to tinker with my truck. Happened to check in and see someone is looking for NanaVX information. Here is what I did and my experience using it.

Tech2 and SPS2 programing

I am an owner of a Tech2 diagnostic tool and after countless hours of trying to get the unit to serve as a pass through, I began reading and researching why the GM SPS site would not working with the tool. After reading on several sites, including our own, I learned that GM had changed the site...
