Start following my saga at post #473. You will need to do that or revert to windows 7 if you want to flash that card. I did it further on in this thread. Go to post #662 for how we flashed a card.

That refreshed the memory a bit. Step one i dont have or cannot find the "little" disc. That would a setup problem for sure.

You can get it here.
Or maybe someone who doesn’t use their PC has the discs and can send them to you.
You can get the PCMA card with 33.004 on it here.
Does the light on the CANDI flash at all when you try to connect? I had a bad VCIM in my tool and needed a replacement. Connecting to the CANDI took multiple tries.

Not trying to threadjack here, but seems like this is where the most knowledgeable group is.

Is this what I would be looking at for a 2008 suburban? (looks like with the free shipping, the hard case version is basically the same price as carton pack, unless I missed something) Anyone have experience using one with a Duramax swapped burb?

Thats the one Myself and others purchased. Not sure about use on a swapped vehicle but I imagine you just need to select the appropriate vehicle options as you use it.

so far so good, connected right away and communicated with all the systems correctly I've tested so far. Just have to go back and forth between Silverado/Suburban to get to the ECM/Anything else.

Quick update here, the card needed updated or it will not communicate with CANDI. Updated card it all works now, sorry for long delay in relaying this as it may have helped others.

Glad you figured it out.
Hate to open an older post but seems the most knowledgeable folks with Tech2 devices run through here. I bought my Tech2 last year and just now getting to reprograming my BCM to enable previously disabled features. Question I have is there is a vin stored in the unit and its not my truck-that sound right? Also, having a hell of a time with TechConnect failures when running in pass-thru mode - getting E9047 error when the SPS site attempts to lock the tool. Has anyone seen this in their quests?
Added bonus - SPS2 website is not pulling my VIN either.

Are you attempting to use a different VIN than yours to enable other features?
Or reprogramming the same BCM with the same VIN, for a calibration update? Can you manually enter your VIN?

Yeah, I can go through the setup and manually adding my year, make, model and it will communicate with the modules. I am concerned that a VIN is programmed in the unit-so wondering if others see that.
I want to reprogram my BCM with my VIN - features were turned off during upfitter conversion on my SSV.

Oddly enough, I was trying to reprogram a keyfob in also and it failed.

Maybe connecting with Joe might be helpful, if he can spare the time. I am usually pretty tech savy (I do work in IT) but this has been frustrating for sure!

We could certainly do that.
Also @sunureu13 just completed a BCM reprogram with help from the Techs at Techline Connect, using an alternate route, rather than the tech 2 Pass-Thru route. I have asked him to produce a series of photos showing the steps that the Tech walked him through to successfully complete the reprogramming.
That would be awesome - anything that helps is appreciated.
@sunureu13 Joe indicated you may have alternative ways to connect up SPS programing - I am having difficulties with running pass through using my TECH2.

@Fubar0715 once you get your programming figured out, if you don’t mind keep us updated with your processes; whether it’s the same method @sunureu13 used or via some other steps.
I’m not sure if this is the best place for it, or if it would be better to update this thread with a link to a new separate one that you create. In any case, I’m sure that you won’t be the only one with this question.

Sure, I can make a new thread once I kinda figure the process.

Let any of us know if you need a hand putting things together.
