Think of getting a mdi

[Amaster]

As title states, I've been thinking of getting a mdi2. For programming, I haven't had any luck using my tech2 and Google hasn't helped me either. All of them use tis2000. Any thoughts have you guys used an mdi2 or a clone in sps

Can't seem to get sps to program with it. Also have the occasional (beep please select different vehicle). I will say it's nice for reading codes, but since my truck is newer I guess no go on programming I'm just trying to get things to work.

We can only use it as a pass-thru device now since they changed up their website last year. What year(s) are you using it for?

I'm well aware lol. I've been trying to use it on my 2011 yukon xl slt. If it was my brother's truck 04 probably no problems.

Ok, I haven't had occasion to use it the new way yet. Joe told me how it works now and seems to have it down pat. @Joseph Garcia

I believe that is a driver error/incompatable. A search for a proper driver that matches your cable and interface chip would probaby fix it easily. For instance look here-
