Default Clearing Theftlock using Tech2

Received my Tech2 so was finally able to clear Theftlock on my replacement OEM Bose navigation head unit I swapped out when the screen failed on the one in my 2011 Grandsport.

The following are screen shots from the Tech 2 showing how to remove the Theftlock code and relearn the VIN on the replacement radio.

This is what I'm talking about it, we need to document procedures like this so in the future we have a data base to work from it. That's why I suggested few days ago to start a Thread like this one all in one place instead of looking for 100 post all over the CF. Thanks RC4G.

Talk with a moderator and see if we come up with a list of Tech II procedures if they will make it a sticky....WW

No need, just trying to pay back for the many times I have leveraged other member's contributions.

I purchased an off brand bi directional scanner for GM vehicles and on that one I had to input Y for my corvette also.

Default Connecting tech 2 and Candi to C6

I know this is an old thread but it was already bumped and the subject relates.

My new tech 2 clone came in, however I’m having trouble getting the Candi module to respond. “Unable to connect to Candi” message appears.

My question is what mode are you putting the c6 in since there is no key. Run, accessory on, running?

Also, has anyone had issues with a bad Candi out of the box?

My clone Tech2 is 2 years old and a few month ago I had the same issue with “Unable to connect to Candi” I ordered a new CANDI and had no luck kept getting the “Unable to connect to Candi” screen. Then I decided to order from amazon the power cable the one that connects to the Tech2 and Bingo the Tech2 worked fine so my advice is that if you're going to order parts start with the cheapest one, The power cable.
