I'm upgrading my Nav unit in my 2011 Vette. I'd like to get my hands on a Tech 2 clone for a one-time use, which is to program my VIN to the new unit. I will likely never use it again.
I don't care much if Its a knock-off as long as it accomplishes my one-time objective.
Any suggestions on a reliable source?

I just ordered one from obdii365.com to play around with. It looks like the SP23-B is supposed to be the better unit. I asked a couple of the sites and they mention that the suffix denotes the manufacturer, with 'B' being the best. (as opposed to the plain SP23 or SP23-C)
SP23-B3 would be the version without the plastic case. For the most part, the model numbers seem to hold true for a bunch of the different vendors.

My buddy at the Chevy dealer says theirs is also at v.33.004
The one on aliexpress didn't mention any designations such as -B, -C etc. (or part number at all), so at that price it may likely be one of the cheaper hardware versions, which steered me towards obdii365.
They also had this on the site to explain the differences, plus another vendor confirmed the info in an email request I sent out yesterday:
Tips Help you choose suitableTech II:
There are 5 configurations of Tech2 on our website, they are SP23-B3, SP23-B, SP23-C and SP23, SP23-1
All of them have the same function, their differences are :
SP23-B is the best Tech2 with Black Carry box, more stable
SP23-B3 is the SP23-B with carton box and best quality
SP23,SP23-C is the same as SP23-B, it also includes the Black carry box, but comes from another manufacture.
SP23-1 is the most cost effective one, it is with carton box, will help you save much more money.
In conclusion:
If you need the most professional Tech2 with best quality, please choose SP23-B ,because it has a black carry box.
If you need cheaper Tech2 with best quality, please choose SP23-B3

. Plus 365 had something like a 30 day policy vs. the other one I looked at that only had 7 days. Think that site was: http://www.uobdii.com/wholesale/gm-t...c-scanner.html That's the one 'tomdatoolman' was asking about yesterday.

I didn't need the case, plus the one I ordered was the only one they had free shipping offered. Like I said earlier, the Aliexpress units don't mention which model they're selling you, my main concern was getting the better of the units for a few bucks more. Some other sites have cheaper models that sound good, until you add the shipping. It's all pretty relative, sounds cheap 'til you add shipping, or looks higher priced but shipping 'included' . Plus 365 had something like a 30 day policy vs. the other one I looked at that only had 7 days. Think that site was:

Be careful when you purchase a TECH2. I paid $1000 for one and come to find out it had been YEARS 
since it was updated and wouldn't recognize C5 past 2000. 
I paid to have it up dated and that wouldn't even work. It came with a 10 Meg SD card and needed a new 30meg SD card with the correct GM programs(another $100)
I purchased one off the Internet and I also purchased a CAN-D module off the Internet so I can support C6 diagnosis and programming.
Well,,,, At least I have one now that works and supports up to 2013 platforms
