Is it worth buying a GM TECH 2 scanner?

You can read modules in a 2011, yes.

nice , but can it make changes also? I guess if it can read the modules it' two way communication?

 

[DenaliEd]

will it work with a 2011, some say yes and some say no.

You need a CANDi module as well as the Tech II itself.

good I'll be on the hunt for one thanks.

How much should I expect to pay for the real thing, TECH 2 with the Candi module?

@fiatdale, which clone do you have?

 

[fiatdale]

Real thing? New? At least a couple grand. As for which clone I have, I don't know. I've had it a few years. I'm pretty sure the clones are all the same

I realize that many people that are actually considering a tech 2 may need it for other purposes... however this allows me to access all modules including trans and abs to diagnose issues. For an individual looking to maintain their personal vehicles I am not sure why you would spend several times as much money.

BTW I also have a el cheapo blue tooth reader and torque 2 and this is definitely superior.

I found one on the local craigslist supposedly in excellent condition with the CANdi module for $1200, is that good?
