Default Buy Tech 2 - from where?

Hi everyone!

Ive realized i need a Tech 2 unit to do some diagnostics on my car. Ive been looking everywhere but cannot seem to find anyone selling these in Sweden.

Now, where do you buy yours?
I've found, what i believe is a copy of the real unit, on Aliexpress. Anyone got one of these?

AliExpress Tech 2 GM CANDI unit

Thanks!

I got my Tech 2 from ( Chinacardiags.com ) .. It took longer to recieve then they said , but every thing was there and they did respond to my emails quickly.. They were a good company to deal with...I also liked that they took paypal , so I didn't have to use my charge card...WW

Thanks! You're happy with the one you bought? Been reading highs and lows about clones.

Totally different things

Tech 2 has more access to control modules other than ECM/BCM. Can see SRS codes, tire pressure sensors, etc etc

HPT is for reading ECM/TCM, making changes and flashing the changes back to them. It can't do anything to any other modules (with the small exception of FPCM's on some models and some of the exhaust stuff on C7's)

Ordered one from this store. Received within a week. Looks high quality and has really helped me perform diagnostics on the SIR system.
Thanks again
