#GM TECH 2 LOGO SOFTWARE#
Diagnostic software is scheduled to be released for the GM MDI during the fourth quarter of 2008. The GM MDI will be required to perform diagnostics on selected NAO vehicles for model year 2009. It can be used to perform Pass-Thru programming on all vehicles built since 1993 and will support all vehicles into the future. The GM MDI is initially being introduced with Pass-Thru programming capabilities only. Rubber end covers offer extra shock resistance.Ī row of LEDs is located adjacent to the on/off power button to provide information about status and operation. The GM MDI has an easy to grip, comfortable, rugged enclosure. What are the Features, Controls and Indicators of the GM MDI? The unit can also be powered using the provided AC adapter plugged into any 120V AC electrical outlet.ĭetachable port covers protect these connectors: In addition, it has 4 AAA batteries for backup. The GM MDI is powered through the DLC when connected to the vehicle.
#GM TECH 2 LOGO PC#
using the WLAN card built into the GM MDI to communicate with the PC through the dealership’s wireless network using a standard CAT5 cable to connect the Ethernet port on the GM MDI and the Ethernet port on the PC using the supplied cable to connect the mini USB port on the GM MDI and the USB port on the PC The GM MDI will be connected between the vehicle and the PC using the DLC and cable.Ĭonnection between the GM MDI and the PC can be accomplished several ways. The Tech 2 and CANdi module can run only low and high speed, and won’t work on the 4 GMLAN link system for diagnostics or programming. (This is a limited rollout in MY 2009.) Global architecture adds a medium speed bus and an expansion bus. The GM MDI communicates using all of the existing GM protocols, the same as the Tech 2:įor future use - Global architecture coming in July 2008 for MY 2009 will use a total of 4 GMLAN links. PCs that have been installed under the Multiple PC Initiative (MPI) meet the PC Hardware Specification when using the GM MDI.įor immediate use - At present, vehicles have two buses on the 16 pin connector (high speed and low speed GMLAN). Using the GM MDI for programming also frees up your Tech 2 for diagnostics and other tasks. This helps alleviate vehicle battery drain problems during programming. Depending on vehicle architecture (protocols/modules), the GM MDI can be 20-70% faster than the Tech 2.

The GM MDI offers faster programming speed at a lower cost. When software coverage on the GM MDI is fully operational, all diagnostic and reprogramming for GM vehicles globally will be supported with this one piece of hardware at a dealer cost of less than $800.00 USD. Today, the dealer cost to equip a technician to diagnose and reprogram vehicles is $2880 USD (Tech 2 and CANdi). (in Canada, review GM Dealer Infrastructure Standards located on the GM infoNET). TIP: Any PC can be used, so long as it meets the PC Hardware Specification located at this link: The GM MDI allows the user to perform Pass-Thru programming procedures using software running on a laptop or desktop PC.

Operating software for the MDI will be downloaded from the TS2WEB website. The GM MDI is a compact communication module that manages the transfer of data between a vehicle’s onboard ECU network and a PC. TIP: Additional tools can be ordered by calling 1.800.GMTools, using prompts 1 or 4. The GM Multiple Diagnostic Interface (MDI) EL-47955 is being shipped to NAO dealers during the second quarter of 2007, one per dealer (fig. I believe this is a move to provide scanner capabilities thru a laptop.

In fact GM has been pushing dealers to support the Multiple PC Initiave and provide at least one laptop per 2 technicians. MDI which is currently available from GM runs using an interface similiar to the one on eBay along with software running on a laptop. High end scanners are expensive because:ġ - Much less limited market than laptopsĢ - Captive market, with few competitors.
#GM TECH 2 LOGO PRO#
My snap on Solus pro scanner has more ump and memory and other stuff in it that all of my other laptops and pc have all together. THAT IS THE REASON A GOOD HIGH END SCANNERS IS IN THE 3-5 GRAND RANGE. It would cost a fortune to write the programs and set up a lap top to even think about getting to anything but obd11.
#GM TECH 2 LOGO PLUS#
OBD 11 is easy to hook up to but it is the other computer systems and engine specific that is the hard and expensive stuff plus can system on newer cars and trucks.
