(with Tech 2 Go-between)

 

That is,

If you want to do ECU programming or SPS programming, you’d better have a GM MDI interface with Global TIS.

 

If you need program new keys (only online with GDS2 and Tech2win), it depends.

If you have a new car or pickup truck after the year 2010, you have 3 options: MDI interface, Mangoose cable, Nano;

If you have an old car or pickup truck, you have one more option, Tech 2. That is, 4 options for the old GM vehicles: MDI, Mangoose, Nano and Tech 2.

 

If you want to have a diagnostic test on GM vehicles, you can have any tool with GDS2 or Tech2win or TIS2000. Clearly, all tools above can be used for GM diagnosis.
