I just performed a CKP sensor relearn and it went perfectly. No problems reported. I also performed a complete diagnostic of my ABS including the motor and EBCM. No problems reported. I also went for a drive for some real time data logging. All looked good. It was amazing to note all of the misfires that were being reported prior to the CKP relearn process. No misfires after the procedure.

Well gentlemen, this unit appears to do everything a real Tech 2 does. It works perfectly so far. The general quality of the unit also appears to be quite good with a robust case and very bright and clear screen. I am very satisfied so far. I know that I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of what it can do and I guess I will discover its various functions as time goes on. If anyone has any questions, please let me know.

Hi, 14 day from order to received, not bad. Still waiting for mine. Just a question, how much cost did they list on customs form?

In Canada, we're charged about 20% customs fees (plus applicable taxes) on goods from China. These fees along with brokerage fees are collected by DHL upon delivery. In my case, it cost me 27$ upon delivery.

Now DHL is showing picked up and ETA is for end of day Thursday. So if that is accurate, ordered 8 am Thursday and possibly receiving Following Thursday. Thats really good in my book. I'll update when its actually delivered.

Did it include the TIS2000 CD and DVD along with the USB Key, or just the discs without the USB Key?

How much did you end up paying? Did you get this one ($350.00, free DHL shipping), or did you use another link?

At which point were you able to select the software for the 32MB card?

I surfed on aliexpress and found one for $390 with free DHL shipping and during checkout they knocked another $10 off. Similar to that one. I can PM you the info if you want. When I checked out there was a comments area so I said GM english card there. Response was very quick and confirmed GM english card to be sent.

No, I did not receive the TIS2000 software and USB key. I did not order it since I don't plan on doing any programming. It was available for an extra 30$. I can always purchase it later if the need arises.

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.

If I'm not mistaken this is the package (SP23-C, $349.00, $150.70 shipping) you bought, right?

It lists the TIS200 software, although without the USB Key...

Package list:
  • SAE 16/19 Adapter
  • NAO 12/19 Adapter
  • Battery Power Cable
  • Storage Case
  • TIS 2000 CD
  • Tech-2 Flash Tester
  • 32 MB PCMCIA Card with GM OE Applications
  • CAN diagnostic interface module(CANdi) and instruction sheet
  • RS232 cable and user`s manual
  • RS232-DB9 adapter
  • DLC Cable, DLC Loopback Adapter
  • 12V Cigarette Lighter Power Cable
(This item comes with the TIS 2000 CD but it's not full functional.
If you want to work on full functions of programming we recommend buy the SO01.)
Anyways, without the USB Key the software really doesn't mean much... but they are listing it.

Enjoy your new gadget

What made you select the one for $390.00 and not the one for $350.00? Could you send a link to the one you bought.
