^Thanks Chi-town.
Does it come with all the software you need with no subscriptions?
I am also wondering if it will play nice with my ECS tune. I have a slightly modified LS6 engine in my A4 coupe and the factory tune wont work.

Yeah its all plug and play. You cant do any programming like you can with tuner/ls1 edit but does a **** load of other things. It wont mess with your tune. I have a procharger so obviousky I have a tune. Most others that have posted have mods and a tune and no issues. I think for 20 or 40 more bucks you get the case it goes into if not you just get it all in 1 box.

^Thanks again for the help. I'm getting ready to push the button.
Can you adjust the torque managements with it or is that another job for a hand held tuner.
It would be nice if there was a knock off tuner for cheep.

I have the download but it's like a semester of college in learning.
I'm probably just going to get it. I have some gremlins to chase and then I can help a few other people with it.
Thanks.

Thanks, I ordered from the seller I posted in post #300. I never ordered from Ali before. Hope I did okay.
Now all I need is a hand held tuner for my torque management. I had ECS leave it in because I didn't know the condition of the transmission when I bought it.

Yes, since the TIS200 has all the firmware needed for cars up to 2009, and does not need to connect to GM to pull them down.
As for the 2010 to 2013 cars, need to have a working account with GM since it will need to pull these firmware files from GM over the web, since these needed files will not be part of the 3 discs that come with it.
Hence in 2010, GM switch over to web base programming from computer based Tis2000 , and was the end of the TIS 2000 having the needed files internal for the cars from that point forward.
So if you have a 2010 or later vet, then just get a $40 subscription to TDS SPS for 2 years, and the tech II will be used in pass through mode for over the web programming isntead.

Myself, have a TIS2000 built into a VM shell on full working XP software on a win 10 machine so it can connect to the internet, have a GM account, so will pull any firmware that is needed/it does not have for later 2010 cars, from GM over the web.
