works well, would recommend cloning HDD, as they seem to be easy to wipe it windows does a check disk.\u00a0 The HDD has many different packages to install as needed. I have used on the Chevy, will try on a Buick next time I have one to work on.
\nThis interface can do system diagnostics and \u2026.added bonus\u2026.program replacement modules.<\/p>\n
There is a MDI 1 version too.\u00a0 I don\u2019t mind if clone mdi 2 is same as mdi 1. I saw people using it without a problem.
\nLenovo X220 Laptop is now setup with the GM MDI 2 manager software.\u00a0 GDS2 identifies it as a\u00a0MDI2.
\nSo then wireless GM GDS2 diagnostics from home network\u00a0(using ACDelco 3 day subscription)\u00a0to\u00a0laptop in garage\u2026..then wireless from laptop to the MDI 2 in the car 30 feet away\u2026.it does work.
\nLots of BCM codes. Equinox\u00a0main problems were the wipers and washer would cycle\u00a0on at key on\u2026..4 way flashers were coming on 30 minutes after key off.\u00a0 Both go thru the BCM.
\nEquinox is fixed with a new BCM. Ended up having local GM shop program the new BCM.<\/p>\n
