I don't know why but I select that year and haven't had a problem programming because of it.

Ditto. Although I haven’t tried programming anything in my 02 yet and my Silverado is an 07 but I did notice that. I’ll have to hook it up to my 02 and try requesting data to see what it says.

I have one nagging issue with my clone unit that I would like to solve which is when connecting to a vehicle. Either with or without the candi. With the candi it takes me three power cycles of the tool to see the candi. After that it works as expected. Without the candi it takes several power cycles to connect and then works as expected. On our envoy it triggers an unknown driver and security light on the dash. I have different software and have tried a new cable with identical results. All the self tests I can do pass. I am thinking of playing the amazon return game and picking up a different VCM or OBD connector. Anyone else have an issue like this?

Half tempted to ask to ship the damn thing to you to see if swapping out different parts finds the troublesome one. Or buy another one with returns accepted stateside. I can make it work but it bugs me.
I would be very curious what is seen on the serial data line while this is happening. Sounds like something amiss there like loss of communications with the BCM. I often use an obd2 splitter cable with an ELM327 clone and record the data traffic for analysis.
i am pretty sure I missed something but wasn’t that the bug you were trying to fix by reflashing your PCMCIA card before you got into reflash hell?
I don’t have that issue.
yes, at least I think, are you talking about getting the current calibration data? if so then no.

It works. I was able to pull my info from the 13 Burb.

I don't have that issue, either.
Mine looks like yours, absolutely no stickers or markings whatsoever. Mine has never exhibited any communiactions issues (excepting of course when my cable fried)

The issue occurs when first connecting. With the Candi it doesn’t see the candi and without it doesn’t connect to the vehicle correctly. After a couple tries it connects and all seems to work ok.
But I don’t trust it to not brick something on me someday.

Was checking the alcohol content in my fuel tonight and the truck suddenly indicated to service the side blind zone system. I powered the tech2 off and restarted the truck. We t back in and all is well. WTF is wrong with this thing?
BTW the seller chinacardiags is no help…

It is your phrase "first connecting" that I was trying to pin down.
When you power up the Tech 2, there is no "connection" by which I mean that there has been zero communications between the Tech 2 and anything in the truck. If you select say Diagnostics, the select your year, vehicle type, powertrain, engine, transmission, Transfer case, Data Display (example), Engine Data Display,,,, up to this point there has been no communications attempted by the Tech 2 and the vehicle.
Only when you select, for example "Engine Data 1",, where the next screen normally flashes "waiting for data", only then are communications attempted.
Is this where you get the error(s).

Do you have anything aftermarket wired into the vehicle, like stereo or anything not stock?
