shouldn't be a total loss, what did you get for the last one $150?

looking ahead I see the need for an MDI since Heidi wants a newer Acadia. I had a VCX Nano working at one point and could go with that or get an MDI. I am struggling to find good info on what to do to make the MDI work. Software download?
I have started mine with them plugged in too, no issues. Is that the internal power supply?I start the cars all the time with them on, I forget that they reboot.

I son’t think its a power issue. It seems to be a connection issue.I start the cars all the time with them on, I forget that they reboot.

I have too. This time I hit the power button on the tool and realized I wasn’t key on so I went to tuen the key on and inadvertently started the truck when to tool was initializing. After that it wouldn’t connect to the candi. A few attempts later and all I get is the blue screen.
the mdi software is hard to make work but it can be done, I think part of the issue's with me may have been from installing it on a tablet and the software will not install correctly in tablet mode it wants to be in desktop mode. then it can be tricky getting it to work beyond that I don't know but I struggled with getting it to work.

Where did you get the MDI software? Do you know of any good writeup on that process? Maybe we need an MDI thread?
well the vcx nano's should come with both tech2win and mdi software but they are separate installs. the mdi from chinacardiags works I don't remember what I paid for mine maybe $100-150, could have been just under $100. it's been a while since I bought it.
getting it elsewhere can be pretty sketchy if you don't want a virus but if you poke around you can find it. I have spent a lot of time on the internet so my spiddey sense sometimes says nope when trying to get ahold of hacked software lol sometimes it's a dead giveaway and sometimes it's not.
file size and how many hoops you have to jump thru to get a download link can be deciding factors
there may or may not be a download link on the chinacardiags website or a reference to one, I think the info changes from time to time.
