He's obviously affiliated with the company in some manner. Nobody in the US writes dates like that and adding "USD" after prices only proves it further that he is writing from overseas.

There was a guy who used to be a GM Tech who posted about these not too long ago. Do a search as he had some pretty good information and they did work if I remember correctly.

I would love to find one in Houston as I have a radio that needs to be coded to my Sierra.

Is the tech 2 only a scanner, or can it be used to install a mail order tune also?

Ordered the SP23-C from CareUCar on 4/5/15 and got it on 4/9/15.
It works exactly like the GM Tech2 and will do anything that the GM model will do.

I'm tempted. Do you have any pics of it in use on your car? Will it work with C6's too?

It will work with the C6 if you use the CANDI adapter, which I haven't tried since I don't have a C6. BUT, my tuner wants to see my new unit and he wants to try it out on a 2008. Obviously he's a pro and will quickly be able to tell whether this clone has any deficiencies. I'll post in a couple days what happens.

That sound great, this would be a great tool to have since I plan on keeping my C5 a long time and if it works on the C6 too that's a bonus.

Stopped by my tuner's this afternoon and showed him CareUCar SP23-C Tech2. He hooked it up to a 2008 C6 with the CANDI attachment and put it through it's paces. He ran a bunch of tests, looked at a bunch of screens, and it performed flawlessly. He couldn't find anything that it wouldn't do and it's programming was newer than either of the ones he has. I'm really looking forward to using this on my C5 now.
