The more the merrier, it would cut down on all the messages I get about fixing cars! LOL

Do these work on the newer 15'+ models?
Most of the time these hvac actuators end up having broken one or more of the old brittle plastic gears inside.
One word of caution. Within the past 6 or maybe 8 months I have read in another website of these being confiscated by US Customs.

No Dario, need GDS or GDS2 software. The interface GM uses with a laptop is the MDI or MDI2. You can also use a VXDIAG Nano with GDS software which has been shown to work on a tablet for portability by Wes.

For some reason the stickers were put on that one. As long as they are not applied it's all good.

What cable do I need to use a laptop for tech2win?
I have the laptop below which does not appear to have bluetooth:
DELL Latitude E6420 Notebook - Core i5-2520M 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR3L, 320GB HDD, DVD-ROM, 14" HD, DVD-ROM,USB 2.0, Ethernet, WiFi, Win 10 Pro 64-bit, 1 Year Warranty, Grade ARefurbished - PC5-3323-REF
I might be stuck with this laptop so I though I might use it for this. I bough it for the wife but failed to notice it didn't have a camera. She doesn't want it so I got her a better unit. Been trying for 3 weeks to get a return authorization from the seller but getting dicked around.
Now I am considering putting it to work as a diagnostic tool and for doing some BalckBear tuning. I need a cheap way to connect it

There should be like a telephone type cable and 9-pin serial adapter that came with it. The cable plugs into the adapter and becomes a 9-pin serial plug. Most newer PCs don't have the 9-pin serial port so you have to get a USB to Serial adapter.
