Please read the folowing:
Well guys as Mr ******* has explained 2009 GM vehicles onwards will only be able to be programmed via an MDI. One thing he doesn’t point out for those of you thinking of purchasing an MDI is that MDI works via Tis 2 web
Which is internet based to a factory/head office server.
If you purchase an MDI around ?3k you will then require a license Euro 3650 for 365 days or 4 Euro 1 hour, 30 Euro 1 day, 100 Euros 7 days, 300 Euros 30 days This will only open up part of the features, to be able to do SPS and security you will have to attend the GM academy training courses
TIS Class Room training; Course SVEL 61 (Class Room Training)
Tech2 WBT; Course SVEL 32b - Web based Training
Relevant to SPS and security also at a hefty cost.
Now for those of you thinking you’ve had a good run but you won’t invest in the future MDI, Tis web and courses. But you will happily carry on using your old faithful tech 2 on vehicles up to 2009 for SPS and security.
Well here’s the really, really bad news NO YOU WONT.
As the existing stock of GM Engine controllers depletes, the manufacturers such as Delphi, Siemens etc obviously have to replace them.
When these manufactures make a new replacement ECU whether it be for a 2009 Insignia or a 1999 Astra, Vectra etc the new replacement module has a new Supplier Hardware number, these Supplier hardware numbers have always been added into the TIS system database. One of the reasons why the dealers had a monthly TIS disc so they could always programme a newly manufactured controller.
Now all recently manufactured controllers have new supplier hardware numbers but the database for the supplier numbers is no longer on the TIS disc not even the final disc for SPS disc 91. All future Supplier numbers are, you guessed it on Tis2Web.
So this means that if you purchase a recently manufactured ECU for say a nine year old vectra you will not be able to SPS programme it with your tech 2.
P.S. The emulator will work using the V91 disc or earlier unless as stated the HW ID has changed on the component you are fitting, but bear in mind any update will most likely be out of date and only cause you issues later on. (the emulator only allows sps programming from discs V.91 and earlier it DOES NOT bypass Tis2Web)
