looking for Tech2 group buy

[Kherafa Malika]

I would like to suggest a group buy for all DIY GM enthusiasts. If anyone is interested please sound off so I can get a head count and propose a discount code through obdii365.com with the interested buyers list. I really want one and if we can get a large number we might get a nice discount. I saw on another forum where a group buy of 10 units got them for $199 plus shipping (regular price is $269, now each saves $70).

I mean the carton box pack, we don't need the stupid plastic box for an extra $50.


The vendor has given me 15 days to finalize the order. Please share any question or concern so we can address it to the vendor. Thanks guys!

Do I have to keep the GM online programing software for this? I'm interested in this, but I don't fully understand what all the additional software is for and if I even need it. Just not experienced with one of these. Can someone give some insight?

No. You only need to connect to the internet if you intend to program modules whether it be an update or a new install. I went four years before I needed to program with mine and use it nearly every day.

Why bother with the Tech2 as its out dated, doesnt work for anything past 2013, and the MDI is the same cost (if not cheaper) and does the same thing?

So that does the same things and will also work on my 2019?

EDIT: Everything a Tech 2 will do, including the 2019....

The way I am understanding it, yes. MDI is currently being used at the dealership level.

But I think MDI or GDS/GDS2 require a subscription..

I am still researching that bit of kit.

Im not actively researching it.. I am thinking about jumping ship to Volvo/Porsche

I have to say, the thread is kinda scammy.

This exact post showed up on another GM forum I am a member, from a new member also.

Had a conversation with a friend that knows a lot about the Tech2 stuff..

He says he believes that the subscription is only needed if you are programming, as that is what requires the internet connection. Otherwise it would work like normal. So you would pay for the one month you are programming something, and let it expire until you needed it again.

This is correct.

True but for those of us with 2007 and older vehicles in the stable the MDI does not cover them so the tech2 is needed.

Just like GM.. SMDH

Glad I didnt jump ship, as I still own a 2001 and 2004..

 

[pwtr02ss]

I would want the older vehicles covered too

The beauty of programming NBS modules is that it can be done with the right computer OS (virtual or native WinXP) and TIS2000. No subscription or internet needed for any of that.

so....you make an account 3 years ago, and 3 years later your 1st post is about grabbing a bunch of money from a group of people whom you do not know and they do not know you. totally legit dude

 

[Doubeleive]

may as well go scam up somewhere else you won't find enough interested buyers here to even get a group purchase even if it was legit
