What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

So the Tech2 is the diagnostic unit used for the gmt900 and earlier rigs.

What is the unit used for the K2s?

MDI2 and hacked software or pay hefty fee's to GM to use it. the VCX nano works but it's a pain to setup, might be better to buy the hard drive from chinacardiags and get a older lenovo laptop for it, probably run about $300 for the drive and compatible laptop but then you still need the mdi2 I bought one from either them or off ebay. that software is even more of a PITA to setup I have had it working a couple times and played with it to get familiar with how it works but haven't had a need to use it yet

Ah, that explains the 2 price tiers I saw for the MDI. Higher with “software loaded”.

Harddrive for what exactly? The VCX itself, or???

Decided one NMO wasn’t enough, so installed a second

there are different mdi's there is a mdi1 & mdi2, some apparently can come with or without a hard drive, bluetooth and/or wifi, usb & ethernet.
I have a mdi1 & mid2, vcx nano. I have not used the mdi1 mainly because I don't have any vehicle it would work on. I got it basically free so it's just sitting there lol.
like said though the interface is just part of the puzzle you still need the GDS2 software to make it work
the hard drive I am referring to is a standard 2.5" sold by chinacardiags and has "all software" pre-loaded on it, in there description on there website it says it is plug-n-play with certain lenovo laptop models and it shows a couple recommended models, they also sell the laptop but at a marked up price you can find the lenovo laptop on ebay for about $100-150 (used) in decent shape with no hard drive
per there desc:The HDD tested ok on laptops like LENOVO T420 T440 X201, DELL E5420 E6420, Panasonic CF53 54 31. Suggest to test on laptops above.

Did you drop the headliner to get access? How much of it? Greenlee punch or similar I’m assuming.

This looks super cool. What is it?
I Googled NMO but that was useless lol.
My best guess is some form of communication with the mothership?
