Possible to install Tech2win on Windows 10 32/64 bit?

Is it possible to install GM Tech2win on Windows 10 32 or 64 bit?

That’s what lots of people are looking for. Have read a lot threads and posts on the web and made a collection here. Maybe it helps.

Here you go.

Lenovo Windows 10 32 bit: works good

An excellently designed device. Allscanner LTD made a better product than any of GM’s partnership with German owned Bosch diagnostic tools and for a lot less money. I was able to reprogram a 2008 Cadillac XLR ECU in under 4 minutes using just a Lenovo Windows 10 Celeron laptop. It would have taken around 15 minutes with my Tech2 with CANdi module with serial to USB interface (what an outdated mess). The VX manager runs fine on Windows 10 and so does the Tech2Win program (I don’t know what this BS about having to use Windows 7 is about). The Tech2Win is slightly buggy occasionally, but it’s always been that way. GM crapped that software out most a decade ago.

Dell Lattude E7450 Windows 10 64 bit: works

I have a Dell Lattude E7450 with windows 10 x64 and a touchscreen. I had the same problem as everyone else experienced where it would not pop up the screen to select the MDI. I could get it to popup if I clicked the emulator directly however it crashed since it had no valid params (this is expected by design). I tried many things including the latest Tech2Win and swapping dll files, GM MDI manager versions etc and nothing seemed to work.

In the end the solution came to me and it was quite simple… Went into my device manager, expanded the Human Interface Devices and disabled the touchscreen device. I then could run Tech2Win and the GM MDI selector popped up like it should. If your device only has a touchscreen you will have to add a keyboard (either wired or Bluetooth) before you disable the touchscreen so you can use Tech2Win.

I’m willing to bet some device that some GM dealerships run the software on are touchscreen (with a compatible Lib) and in windows 10 we have some sort of touchscreen Lib (not compatible) conflict with the application.

Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Windows 10 64 bit: not work

I tested out full functionality of Tech2Win with my older laptop that I just upgraded to 10. It is working and doing what it should.

I also installed it on a desktop with Win10 and it works……

My brand new Surface Pro 4 does have error. It will not work.

Microsoft Surface pro 2 Windows 10 b4 bit: has error

installed tech2win, (vxdiag vcx nano gds2 and tech2win), it works on one laptop but not on another, both laptops are windows 10 x64

GM Tech2 China Clone:

the one that does not work gives me E668561: Vehicle Communication Interface (e.g. MDI) not found! Is it possibly not installed / not turned on?

The “Select Vehicle Communication Interface” window does not show.

in the log file it shows

07/28/16 18:00:15-638(0000.7603) pdu_api.c (02200) Error 0x00000000 PDU: could not initialize COM XML DOM instance.

Computers with Win 10 updated from Win7 Win8: works good

I have found that the 3 computers that this works on that have Windows 10 were all upgraded from windows 8 or windows 7. There could be something that was carried over that keeps Tech2win working that a Win10 only machine might not have or have set the same. So far I have not found a permissions change that fixes it though. It seems to be something else more elusive.

Toshiba C655: works great

Lenova Yoga 900: not works

Acer Switch 12: not works

Microsoft Surface Pro 4:

For some reason the Surface Pro 4 will just not pop up the screen to select the device when you start Tech2win. It won’t do it in a VM either. The MDI manager will see the MDI fine native or in the VM.

Newer 64bit desktop: works fine

Old 64 bit laptop: works fine

Windows 10 touch screens mobile device: not run

Older Celeron desktop: works fine

(It’s an older Celeron desktop with only 3 gigs of ram that was just upgraded to win10. It works fine on this computer.)

…..

In summary, you need luck with Tech2win Windows 10.

Btw, info not sure but you can have a try:

For windows 10 you need to use the latest Tech2win 2.332

Previous Tech2win 2.322 is not supported from windows 10

Has anyone bought a Tech II with success?

Looking for a Tech II of good quality and confirmed working no issue… anyone recently bought a Tech II with success?

I ordered a Tech 2 from AliExpress last week and received it a couple of days ago. The price was $327 with the black case, then the vendor contacted me and said that the case wasn’t included. So I ordered it anyway. When it arrived I started doing some self tests on it and it appears to be working. In the next couple of days I’ll hook it up to a couple of cars. I have a couple of GM cars, plus my daughters 2002 9-3 that I work on too. I’ll have to get up to date on the Saab interfaces fairly soon though.

I ordered Tech 2 from chinacardiags.com on Feb. 4th, received it Feb 9th. It shipped from China via DHL. I did have to sign for it, but fortunately it didn’t show up until 7 PM and I was home. I usually hate when things are delivered that late, but I might not have been around earlier to sign for it, and I would have had to wait.
The tis2000 disk that came with it was cracked, but fortunately we have this software available for download on this forum. I was able to get security access and program my CIM in my 2005 9-3.

The Tech 2 works well, it’s been able to do everything I’ve needed it to do, including programming the CIM and reading/clearing DTCs.
I paid around $271 I think, there was a discount code available.

Just ordered mine from chinacardiags….hopefully it arrives soon

Finally!!!

Purchased from chinacardiags, Saab eng card, arrived Monday, and performed following so far:
-ECM added
-DSL turned off with fog adjusted accordingly
-honk confirmation with fob (thinking of turning it back off)
-AUX enabled
Will be adding fob soon after exchanging defective remote from eEuroparts, among others.
Again, FINALLY! My 9-3 is back on the road after 2yrs of RIP…! Thanks all!!!

Tech II clone – buy with relief from chinacardiags.com

I am confused: Tech II clone on 2013 base convertible?

I have been reading some of the threads here about Tech II clones. A lot of you recommend having a gm tech2 scanner for DIY work on our cars Which buy from Chinacardiags.com. As I do research on possibly purchasing a Tech II clone, I keep running across information about changes for the 2013 Corvette model year. One vendor in China told me I need the new GM MDI and a GDS2 software subscription from General Motors for a 2013 Corvette, and not a Tech II for my car. I understand that the MDI is the new system for GM and that it will allow programming. I am assuming that programming means flashing the control modules with updates. We all know what assume means, right? I do not intend to flash any of the control modules with updates, or do any modifications to the control modules. Given that, is the Tech II just a sophisticated code reader on 2013 Corvettes? Can a Tech II clone do anything else on a 2013 base Corvette besides read codes? Will it let me add FOBs on a 2013 vette? Could I do the VIN lockout procedure for the NAV unit with a Tech II on a 2013 vette? I am hoping that someone with a 2013 vette has a Tech II and can weigh in on my questions.

Reply:

For the way that you are going to be using the Tech II clone, your going to be fine with it.

As for why GM is going to the GM MDI and a GDS2, instead of using a Tech II with TIS2000 software, it because the MDI with GDS2 flashes a hell of lot faster when you have flash a new module with either it orginal firmware or upgraded firmware. Its also faster to use than having to press buttons on the Tech II for basic commands during diagnostics as well.

So in regards to the vets, Tech II clone will cover all the C6 cars and older since the last of the updated firmware on the unit covers from here back. If you do need to reflash something, it’s done via Tis2000 with the Tech II as the pass through device.

On a C7, since GM did not make upgraded firmware to flash into the Tech II’s to cover these cars, then it’s a MDI that is needed instead. As for the MDI’s firmware, they will cover no only the new cars, but the cars that the old Tech II’s used to cover as well.

Now the glitch on the MDI regarding cloning it, since it has to use the GDS2 software for the pass through only device, GDS2 software has not been cracked like Tis2000 software has been isntead.

So the only way that even a clone MDI is going to work, is to have a subscription to GM (Few $K a year) to allow you to use the GDS2 software that has to log into GM each time it used instead.

Hence the Clone Tech II unit you get will already be loaded with the most current firmware, and for most of the stuff you going to use the Tech II clone, will just be using the unit by itself without being connected to a lap top.

Also the cracked copy of Tis2000 that you get with the clone model, does not have to be connected/logged into GM to use it for 99% of the stuff (do not need an account with GM).

Note, if push comes to shove and you can not find a copy of the needed firmware to flash into a unit to upgrade a module, then you can get a one day subscription to GM to pull down the needed file from them.

Another place the people have had good luck with as well.

Should I buy a Tech 2 hand held or GM MDI?

a

Thread: Tech 2 Scanner hand held or GM MDI?

Tech2 hand held support more then Opel cars.
It support also Isuzu, Suzuki, GM and SAAB
Just changing the PCMCIA card or flash it the one you have if you have only one with the software for cars that you need.
But this tool cannot be used with GDS2 in newer cars models after 2008 ( here we are talking in newer cars as Insignia and Astra J not the models as Corsa D 2014 wich is still supportted by the Tech 2 hand held )

GM MDI can be used as Tech2 hand held in cars from 1997 till 2014 ( but models before 2008 ) using Tec2Win emulator and can be used with GDS2 in newer models cars as Insignia and Astra J
GM MDI doesn’t support Suzuki and SAAB

Both tools suport SPS Programming. But MDI is 20 to 70% faster compared to the Tech 2 for SPS programming, which helps alleviate battery drain on vehicles. This means flashing new ECU software is both quicker and more stable,for example, re-flashing an engine ECU using the Tech 2 could take up to 1 hour, with the MDI it’s just 10 minutes. You can therefore flash 6 cars with the MDI in the same time as it would take 1 with the Tech 2.

I’m also using a HQ OP-COM clone with the lastest version of softwear wich cover even Corsa D 2014 made in february 2014 ( it covers allmost all functions of Tech2 for cars between 2004 – 2013 and better connection for cars before 1997 even it is the same tool revision B hardwear ) and an AVDI ( using Tech2win and GDS2 )

If you need a better cover my advise to you is to buy a GM MDI but the GM Tech2 hand held it is still good

Anyway in the end it is your choice-this is only my opinion
Good luck

FAQ: GM MDI vs. Tech 2

1) Will I need a subscription to use the MDI?

yes currently you need seperate subscriptions for tech2win(tech 2 emulator)
gds2 (newer diagnostic application for global a cars and up) and sps (reflashing)

2) Will I be able to scan and tune without a subscription?

no

3) should I sell my tech 2 and buy a MDI?

they can pry mine from my dead lifeless fingers

4) are they cloning GM MDI’s or are all the GM MDI’s I see for sale the real deal?

i have seen clone mdi’s make sure its from a reputable source

I have zero experience with the GM MDI so any education is very much appreciated

i use my tech 2 on a daily basis (i own a repair facility)

i also use tech2win and gds2 and gm sps frequently using a cardaq-m interface

if you wanted a way to access tech2win and gds2 and sps (for factory flash updates) the cheapest way currently is the mongoose gm 2 interface by drewtech ($495 iirc)

however you will still need a subscription for the desired function

Gm Tech 2 vs EFI live vs HP Tuner

Can HP tuners & EFI live do the same things as the TECH 2?

what works better and has more control over all the computers settings?

Hp Tuner vs Gm Tech 2

1)

Tech-2 can’t tune, only scan.
HP Tuners can do both, for a heck of a lot less.

HP Tuner also graphs out the data for you, a tech-2 you simply have a small screen with some #’s on the right in a list format.

2)

HPT can only work with ECM and TCM .

Tech 2 can work with ABS, BCM, etc.

But, Tech 2 can only change/do stuff GM intended where HPT can change all kinds of tables GM wouldn’t want us messing with. None of them mess with TPMS. Only way to disable TPMS is the LG box, or rig up sealed tube at set pressure and put the TPMS sensors in it. So both have pluses/minuses depending on what you want to do.

3)

Is it worth if you just want to read/clear codes on your own car once in a while, heck no. If you’re doing a lot of work on GMs or want to get a lot more in depth with your car, it’s worth the money.

No comment on China knockoff quality, I mean a working tech2 scanner, Chinese made or not.

4)

I read HP Tuners site, and there was only a paragraph blurb on HP Tuners diagnostic capability.

It allows viewing, charting and logging of diagnostic data in real time via the vehicle OBDII diagnostic data port. It also allows viewing of vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) and other vehicle information. Built in VCM controls also supported. Command fans, closed loop, gear select, timing, air fuel ratio and more real time! No editor package can be considered complete without comprehensive scan tool capabilities.

This is not enough information on knowing whether or not this is as capable as a Tech 2 for diagnostic usage. There are other things I’ve had to command on/off that I can’t remember, but they’re not just commanding the fans on/off as their quote above states…

5)

My Wife got me an HP Tuners (standard package I believe) for Christmas. I REALLY wanted a Tech 2 (I’ll explain why I a bit), but she reasonably couldn’t afford it, as such, with Fraser (at Speed Inc), she was thinking that this would answer my needs.

Thing is, I’m not a tuner! I’ll leave the tuning of my car to Jim and company at Speed Inc. My DD, if I did anything on, would be purely settings here and there.

What I need, and why I wanted a GM Tech2 was because I’m a diagnostic person. I’m constantly maintaining a fleet of GM vehicles. These vehicles are always throwing codes (which up until now, I’ve used an ancient version of AutoTap to get the codes and freeze frame data), but I’ve had no ability to run commands to turn on EGR’s, Secondary A.I.R. systems, Purge canisters, etc, etc as is often prescribed by GM diagnostics that I have. Obvioulsy, a Tech2 can do this!

EFI live vs HP tuners

1)

In simplest terms, HP is good for those that want it simple and quick, EFI is for those with a little more depth.

If you are a beginner just stick with HP TUNER, its simple and straight forward. If you are a little more comfortable with lots of open windows and plenty of alterations then go with the EFILIVE.

I have both, and to be honest i should have started with HP tuner, there are plenty of books and help for it.

Though if you have the time EFILIVE is constantly updatin its controller and software, not to mention they offer more indepth help on the forum for those really hard tunes.

At the end of the day, when you start tunin, make sure you have an accurate WB and tune the MAF / VE before you start to mess with idle, timin etc…A tuned MAF will always lead to a steady idle and great runnin engine.

2)

You can get 2 but it’s overkill. One is enough as on paper you should be getting similar readings. They do not eliminate precat o2 sensors. Leave those in place as you need them. I had a bung welded to my header, pre-cat, about a couple of inches ahead of the stock o2. Make sure it’s mounted on the side (not at the top or bottom). Been running one for almost 3 years without problems other than some mild OCD.

Regarding EFI vs HP. The one thing EFI has going for it as far as I know with our PCMs is 2 or 3 bar OS support for speed density tuning for the E67 PCM (that’s 06 and 07 cars). I don’t believe HPT has 2 bar on the E67 (someone correct me). This may be a big deal for you if you go supercharged and want to flip to SD tuning and cut out your maf from the equation. I’m a big fan of it personally but I know some will say why not stick to MAF.

That’s it though. HPT has really good after market support/forums etc. EFI has far more frequent software updates + very good cummins diesel support if that floats your boat. If you ever plan to tune other cars check the licensing costs. EFI sells vin + tcm licenses at ~125 a pop (it comes with an LS1A stream license (so unlimited LS1 tuning) + 3 from new licenses so you can tune 3 unique VINs and TCMs if applicable) vs. HP tuners credits system which is a tad confusing so read up on it.

3)

I’m using EFIlive, and like it. I’ve seen Megasquirt, HPtuners and Edelbrock (flipping joke), but am no expert. HPtuners and EFIlive have a different look and feel, but are pretty much Coke and Pepsi, IMHO. I like EFIlive, but it’s what I first learned on. If you have some good local help or find a strong community here to get help with one or the other, that would be the one I suggest…

If you don’t already have a good wideband O2, add that to the shopping list too. I’ve got an Innovate LC-1 hardwired in and like it. Opinions vary there too 🙂

If you go EFIlive, I’ll share what I have if you’re interested. I promise that won’t require crazy shipping shennanigans…

4)

I have HPTuners never messed with EFIlive. You can do every and anything with HPTuners, even things that you will never touch is there. HPTuners also have a forum that you can learn a lot from, also FAQ and how to’s. If you do get HPTuners get the full version with Wide band support. You are shorting yourself without being able to tune with a WB. Licencing is nothing. It comes with 8 credits most GM cars take two. So I’ve tuned my GTO, my friends V2 CTS-V and now on my CTS-V and still have two credits left. The software is worth it, and takes time to learn to tune.

GM scan tool: MDI or Tech 2? original or clone?

Looking for a GM MDI Interface or Tech 2 scanner and don’t know which one (original or clone) should you take?

Here you go.

Part 1: GM MDI or Tech 2

Part 2: Tech 2 original or clone?

– How to find the original or fake.

– worth to have a Tech 2 China clone?

Part 3: GM MDI genuine or fake?

– what’s the difference of MDI genuine & clone?

– GM MDI china clone any good?

Part 1: GM MDI or Tech 2

Tech 2 scan tool has become obsolete for shop use as of late. It still has a lot of capability and will do anything you need for the older platforms but it needs the CANdi module to work with any of the new stuff. The MDI is a 1 shot deal for all the newer PCMs and will still work on the older stuff too. I sold my Tech 2 and bought an MDI last year, haven’t missed the Tech 2 since. Then again I’ve got a Genysis scanner I use for all my typical diagnostics & probing.

However, the MDI requires a GM log-in with monthly access to GM’s website. That’s it’s only draw back for the enthusiast who wants a GM caliber scanner. The Tech 2 can be updated within itself and doesn’t require the internet, the MDI does.

If you’re running a shop, get an MDI. For the garage warrior or enthusiast, get a Tech 2. Just don’t fall for these $350 pieces of garbage.

You can say that, Tech2win is a pain the the butt. It never updates security correctly for the 30 day window and that using GM computers and login info. The tech 2 is great for code reading, viewing data. The MDI is pretty much only used for programming but its needs on certain 10+ platforms and all 15+ to view data through GDS. All MDI functions require a GM subscription.

Part 2: Tech 2 original or clone?

First, How to find the original or fake.

It is very simple. The first thing I look, it’s the memory card slot, open it up and look at the cover, if you see the stamp of the body exactly original. Next, the original at all wires and Candy use aluminum. As different numbers on the back cover, the photo you will see the difference. Sometimes it comes and all labels need to glue yourself.

 

Second, worth to have a Tech 2 China clone?

In short, that is a nice piece of equipment to have, very nice!

Aside from working beautifully with OBD2, the tech2 is the scanner for GM OBD1 to use. with the right software (plug in chips like nintendo cartridges) it’ll do some daewoo/suzuki, GM medium duty (meaning bigger than 3500 using non automotive OBD2 standards), and other in the GMdistant family tree too.

In addition to generic codes (P0000-P0999) It’ll do all the proprietary GM codes (P1xxx), actuators, and systems. you can also view fuel trims, emissions readyness (beyond a green LED for all OK) and It’ll talk to ALL the modules rather than just the ECM (and if you get into the $250+scanners, ABS) like BCM, SIR, entertainment, EVERYTHING on a GM. At school I used one with a 91+ cartridge on my 87 S10, so going back further is hit or miss but posible.

To adjust shift points and fuel consumptiona and Speedo, forget it.

The TECH2 can’t do any sort of modding/tuning, only upload GM flashes. At least with legitimate software. I’m sure someone has custom software to do it but there are easier ways nowadays.

Is it worth if you just want to read/clear codes on your own car once in a while, heck no. If you’re doing a lot of work on GMs or want to get a lot more in depth with your car, it’s worth the money.

No comment on China knockoff quality, I mean a working tech2, Chinese made or not.

Tech 2 scan tools are verified working:

Item NO. Package Weight(kg) 32MB Card CANDI TIS2000 USB Key Hot Selling

All of GM Tech2 are same functions,they are just from different factory.
SP23,SP23-1 the same,just the package case is different,one is with plastic case,one not.
SP23-B,SP23-B3 the same factory,the packing is different,one is with plastic case,one not.

Reviews talk a lot. Use with relief.

 

Part 3: GM MDI genuine or fake?

First, what’s the difference?

Therefore, it’s easy to find that the GM MDI 2 multiple diagnostic interface only improves in hardware design and running speed.

But the price ($12000) of MDI 2 is 4 or 6 times as MDI 1 ($150-$300).

So, no matter it’s used for DIY fun or professional repair work, a GM MDI clone of high quality is definitely no issues. Note that there are different versions of GM MDI china clone; and the quality may vary coz they are produced in different factory, especially PCB design. And it would result in various prices. But you will get what you pay for.

Second, GM MDI china clone any good?

GM MDI China clone Working well. Tested with GDS2 v.12.

The MDI came ready to use with the software installed. It worked since I already had Tech2Win, GDS2 and GM MDI Manager installed on my laptop. It works extremely well and I have no problems with it. The product image at the time I order showed the cable keeper, A/C 12 volt adapter and multiple diagnostic interface user’s guide CD which is used to install the MDI manager software on your laptop. These items were not included. It also said it was Wifi but did not come with a wireless card but with a wireless interface instead. There are two versions of GM MDI interface on China market, cheaper MDI less than US$180 with only USB connection and the other more expensive with wifi wireless connection.

The product would work excellent if you had the MDI manager software already on your laptop.


My device tested with many cars for 4 months.
Device works with GDS2 (Opel).
Device works with Tech2Win. (Opel, Hammer)

Device not works with SAAB via Tech2Win.

Tested by my own, works with Saab 9-5, 2003, 3.0
It works with tis2000 and tech2win NAO.

My MDI clone works fine with tech2win and also TIS2000 software. Used it for diags and pcm flashing with no problem (through usb port only, cause wifi is unstable for programming functions).

Added a wireless card to that one too, same flawless performance.. Only issue for me is that they all have the same serial number.. So using 2 of them in the same shop with wireless would be impossible..

compared boards from a genuine to this clone, almost identical.. multiple layer pcbs, same tracers, didn’t see any difference except the board labeling was missing on the clone.
Wifi GM  mdi good, interface works online. update mdi 100%. offline not that good  for new cars.

Nissan Consult III Plus Ver.46.30 works on MDI interface as well (this is not tested by me, your are on your risk).

Tech 2 scan tool review: everything worked

I just received my new Tech 2 scan tool a few days ago. There are quite a few people now ordering these scanners to do diagnostics on there 2005-2012 C6s, so I thought I would show you a product I found to store your new scanner. I ordered my scanner without their plastic storage case because their case looked pretty cheap and was an extra $35.00.. If any of you guys or gals have a Tech 2 scanner and need a case , I found one that fits the tool perfectly and is way better looking then the companys case.. I picked this one up at Harbor Freight for $24.95.. Included are both dividers for separating the items, and foam that can be cut to hold the scanner and wires… I used just the dividers because the fit was perfect. The inside of the case is also fully padded , so drops or bumps won’t hurt the scanner, the outside is made of aluminum with reinforced corners…This is a great deal for the money …WW

Update: I haven’t had much scan time with it so far.. I did hook it up to my car and make sure everything worked… I have used the GM Tech 2 made by Bosch and this seems to be every bit as well made as that unit… I paid $289.00 at a company called (chinacardiags ) ,it took about 10 days to receive the scanner , and it comes well packed and the packaging is pretty much crush proof… I got free shipping on mine, but it looks like they are charging shipping now but have dropped the price of the unit a few dollars..The nice thing about this site is you can use Paypal to pay for it instead of a charge card…….WW

Here’s the site….
