Which Tech2?

Post by psyolent »

So AliExpress seems to have a billion and one Tech2
eg:
https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/Auto-Dia ... 22529.html

Does anyone know of a reputable supplier of these where I can get one for myself and a friend?

I have used this company in the past for Merc stuff and had great results.

Have not tried their Tech2, but can say their Mercedes Mux and Star Diagnostics 4 was spot on. If they can get this right, I am sure the GM stuff is pretty straight forward?

Newer product that works well on Merc that they do also might be helpful to you or others:

Ive heard the non-clones work, some others dont. If you buy too cheap its a bit random what you get. They dont cover all protocols - I dont believe aldl is included so any aldl tech 2 functionality wont work. They're used with tech2win and J2534 passthrough.
