Looking at this one on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tech-2-Dia...h-Card-for-GM-Cars-Multilanguage/184408164117
anything missing for my 09 tahoe?

Mentions can program up to 07??

That will work, good price. The TIS2000 is nice but not necessary, it allows you to download recordings from a road trip and view them on the computer. For programming, you'll be going directly to a modern computer but will need an adapter to convert from serial port to USB. I use the Keyspan Lite but someone recently used another that was much less expensive and was also plug and play.

that is the basic kit, it also mentions it does cars not trucks and by that they are meaning commercial trucks, the software will do all from 1991 up to 2013
like James said all you will need in addition is either a serial port or usb to serial dongle for your pc or laptop/tablet

Welp, I went to order it this weekend and out of stock! :rolleyes:

Wife has an AC problem that's probably just a pressure switch or connector, but i sold the idea of the tech 2 purchase to help me diagnose the issue...

I see it for sale from sellers in China, but i would prefer a us based seller.
Guess I'm waiting for a few more weeks.

:beer:

Looks like they’re getting harder to find. There used to be more eBay sellers with these, usually several in the US.

Why would they get confiscated? They’re not illegal, GM no longer restricts the sale of these or the patent has expired or whatever.
