Thanks Chevyboy86;

 

however I don't think EFI V2 can access all ECM, TCM, BCM PIDs and other 2way testings...etc

 

Tech-2 Hardware, i'm planning to get Chinees knockoffs - OneHungLo Brands :D

not $5000.00 ones no

Sure it can. An EFI V2, vin license, cable and laptop. You can read and even flash or tune all those parameters.

 

Logging/diagnostic software and tuning software available online.

Dear ChevyBoy:

 

I took a good look @ EFI Live, but way too much $$$ for my needs, all i need is check my injector balance, read cods and reset stupid TPMS, so I'm tempted to snag one of those Chineese Knockoffs...heh :thumbs:

 

I will update you if falling to this clone MDI device, and not only they will ship MDI, giving me tech2win software for free, so according to this Chinees Lady, it is like I will have Tech2 Tool in my LapTop computer... Nice!!

 

again it will support all old to current any GM car or truck.

 

so everything I can have under $450 CDN + $35 for shipping.. I know sound too good to be....?

Yes and no. I heard the quality is really bad, so I don't know how long it will last. The other issue is I can't update software on modules because I would have to pay for a 3 day access to tis2web but gm will confirm the serial number of the unit to access updates, or so I am told (Being a knock off no valid serial number). I am thinking about this one for real updates, but the tool does work for testing and changing settings and stuff.

48548 Thank you Sir

 

your Tech2 is good, fro Troubleshooting our trucks, I really wants to get a MDI unit (however I don't know how good they are)

 

Now, Bosch make MDI Device called Mastertech VCI Hardware kit, its comes with Laptop cost $1832.00 and MasteTech VCI Software $869.99, its little too much for my personal use.
