Updated mine through TIS about 2 weeks ago, I was hoping the 2014 would be in the download but it was not.
I can't seem to get a direct answer if there will be another Tech 2 update, I think they are on the fence.

The Tech 2 is not going to work on the 2014 Stingray, it has the Global Architecture Platform. It will require the MDI with the GDS-2 software for code retrieval and data. The MDI is the recommended method of reprogramming, I have been informed that the J-2534 pass-thru- through the Tech 2 can work for programming only but is not recommended. As of right now there are not anymore Tech 2 software updates coming out, I just downloaded the last and latest version 33.004 which ends with 2013 GM- to my Tech-2

Well it looks like DIY for the Global Architecture Platform is totally out of the picture...crap!
Hopefully, there will be some REASONABLY priced tool that we can use to look at codes and troubleshoot after the warranty is over. The subscription prices for MDI are unreasonably abusive for casual use.

It's not exactly cheap, but it's doable.

Had my C7 checked out at Carlisle over the weekend and the tech told me the Tech 2 was not used to diagnosis issues with C7s. I didn't ask what equipment was used but he had a laptop and a small box that plugged into the car's diagnostic port.
