Tech 2 Purchase

[gooffeyguy]

Check all the pins at all the connectors and make sure there's none bent. Especially the connector at the bottom of the unit.

Well, even after saving back on this card I find our envoy geeks out when I start the tech2 and it connects. Went in fine on the second attempt. I wonder if it is the card or the vci module.

take a meter and check the obd port on the envoy, just to verify the can bus is intact, if there is a short it can do all kinds of weird shit

I wish I wouldn't have been in such a hurry.

That's the thing with my life. Never time for me to do the stuff I wanna do at a reasonable pace. it's always in a hurry! And I screw stuff up in the process.

Trying to remember where I've heard that before.

You would think at my age I would know better by now!

Thanks Wes! Next time it's in the shop I will check this.

I found some instructions on programming the card.

All I need is the 33.004 bin file.

Well I've been trying to access my card on an older laptop. After finally being able to download that MCE program and install it, I'm running into problems getting it to run. It says something about specifying another memory area, like D000 or D3FFF.

I don't know how worth it this all is. I am looking for my order confirmation on the replacment card and will chalk it up as a lesson learned.

I got it working and I'm copying the contents of the card to a .bin file which is 32mb

Sent you an DM/IM/Convo whatever with a link to download the bin file

Awesome. There’s really no need to pay again for this. (And wait)

Ideally he should be able to use that other program with the Tech2 hooked to the PC and flash his existing card with the updated software.

Now, I've never done this, and that Mem Card Explorer program didn't show folders/files on the card, just all the data in binary/hexadecimal and memory ranges when viewed. I did save the memory card "contents" to a file, which the program gave a .bin attachment type and it was 32mb

Our friends over there are fast and have already shipped the card. That just means this will work.

It’s doing something...

Seems to have worked. The tool connects to the truck and works well. Almost seems to work better and it connected to the candi in one try. Thanks for the help @gooffeyguy!

 

[Tonyrodz]

Now that was determination! Cool that you finally got it to work.

 

[gooffeyguy]

Well I'll be damned, it worked!

In that screen shot the Tech-2 does not recognize the Candi, was it attached?
