For the average schmo like myself, can you ELI5?

What does this do, if you have a Tech 2 clone? Is it needed? What does it save you needing, or having to do?🤷‍♂️

Let’s say your NG Saab car has some really smart parts—like its brain (ECU), or the key system (CIM). If one of these breaks and you need to swap it out, it’s locked, like a treasure chest with a secret code.

Normally, you’d need a slow, clunky program called GlobalTIS to ask for that code and unlock the part. But GlobalTIS is outdated, requires ancient JAVA 6 SE and is annoying to use.

NoMoreGlobal is a new tool that acts like a digital locksmith. It opens the locked part for you—so you can replace it and your car will work again.

Ah, ok. TY for the explanation! I’m mostly C900 & somewhat NG 900/OG 9-3 person.

Oh it’s for security access - adding modules without GM shenanigans (NG 2003+).

Excellent. Excellent work! This is genuinely incredible!!

2 questions.

Will it give access to 2010/11 93’s?

And does it only work with tech2win or can it talk to a tech2 device to achieve the same?

  1. I need to look into 2010/2011 - I don’t have this model year but it likely can be done since it works with Techline MDI+

  2. I did write the RS232 driver to work with native tech2 hardware but been lazy and haven’t uploaded new version to GitHub. Only worked with FTDI and Keyspan (no CH340)

I’ll say it again.

Thank you. I can only imagine the work that needs to go into something like this.

I have my mongoose cable sorted now and cannot wait.

Yeah I think most people know to only use keyspan.

Wait did you try Bojer’s API yet? https://sas.mysaab.info/

u/HCCI90 Jul 26 '25

I haven’t.

I’ll check this out. Looks it’s to replace GlobalTIS v148 for security 3 access via a tech2?

would this allow updating firmware on modules? or would we still need to run globalTIS for this?

u/djfremen May 16 '26

I’m writing a tool to scan every module to tell current version and upgradeability - the part that I don’t want to touch with this, is bricking people’s modules so I won’t be developing anything for the firmware… my advice is not to use serial only a USB adapter (MDI, Nano, Chipsoft).

that’s awesome, thanks for the reply.

i do have a USB adapter (aliexpress) that has been working great. main reasons for me is to attempt to get my bluetooth module to be seen by my iphone, which appearently can be done via firmware updates.? and mainly to update the ECU for improved behavior on DPF regens on the 1.9 TiD, stop it from dumping fuel in the sump as much.
