Post some pictures please too!

Im trying to figure out which one to buy and from where now..

What does the TIS2000 software give us in addition to the software that comes on the Tech2 Flash Card?

Windows compatibility mode works sometimes. Try setting it for windows 7 compatibility and see if it works then, or try another mode like XP.

I keep an old Windows XP laptop in the garage which has my service manuals for all my cars including the C5. I'm not sure what I can do with the TIS2000 software but I will check it out tonight.

I want it to reprogram a BCM and remove all the options.

Im trying to put the BCM and harness out of an 08 C6 into my project car.

I plan to run the Gauge cluster, BCM, Body Harness, Security Module for keyless entry and push button start.

Not sure if the TIS2000 will work for me .. I read it only goes up to 2007 ?

CORRECTION

I did receive the TIS2000 software disc. It was in the bag along with the product stickers. So yeah, I got the full package.

Did you get both discs, CD and DVD?

Hi, It will not work on Windows 7, or 8 or 8.1...you have to use something like Windows XP. I found one of my old tablets with XP, it installed and runs fine. IMHO

My TIS2000 software is installed on my Win XP computer. I just don't know what to do with it. I know that I can download the recorded data from the Tech2 to the computer. I guess with time, I'll discover more features.

A quick search brought up this. Doing a little reading it is used a lot with the tech 2.

Yes! I'm completely satisfied with mine. It really works like a genuine Tech2. No problems so far.

I am playing with the clone tech 2. Is 99 C5 a F or Y product line? I also want to know what is the purpose of the dongle and the TIS software. One last question is could I use a usb to rs232 converter to connect the Tech 2 to my usb only laptop for software upgrade

And yes you can use a usb to serial adapter for it to interface with your PC.

Enjoy.
