So what all is needed to use a Tech2, and be able to access stuff like programming key fobs and stuff?

As long as you are getting the software 33.004 you'll be fine. Got a link to the ad?

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/3631046 , Thanks for the reply, ill let them know the software ID and maybe that will help. I guess i have to appreciate that they appear to want to get the order right but i am anxious to start learning the tech2.

Update, Confirming the software was all it took and it will be shipped tomorrow! Thanks for the SW info!

Good Morning Tom, It's good to have the shop manual like the ones we talk about from ebay and or a subscription to AllDataDIY. The manual can tell you what tests to run or what to look for, parameters and such.

If you're looking for one, make sure it comes with the CANdi module and the 33.004 North American software. They'll also come with multiple adapters, power supplies and such and connectors used for self-testing. Many include the TIS2000 software which allows you to at the least download a snapshot and view on a computer screen.

My laptop does not have a serial port so I bought an adapter that everyone recommended and it works seamlessly.

This was recommended on SAAB and or Corvette forums for Tech-2 users so I made the purchase and it works like a champ:
