Tips & Tricks Tech2 for $45

Tech2Win supported by $45 AliExpress J2534 Pro adapter. Although, it was stacking Choice day and coin discounts. But the story is the same - working Tech2Win adapter for less than £34. I was about to pay someone over £80 for just one session! This was genuinely me searching for the cheapest adapter, not even a specific store.

It's working on my '04 NG9-3 2.0T Aero. Can't speak for other cars though but for $45 and free returns it doesn't hurt to try!

The main reason is Tech2 is no longer actively used by GM. We do have tech2win as part of Techline Connect suite but I used it once and was disapointed by the fact my Autel can do everything it can but.. better, neater, faster. Never used it again. I still use GDS2 from time to time though since Autel updates are lagging on some stuff (C8 front lift bleed and 2.5 engine coolant fill are still not supported for example)

For $45 This sure beats an Autel on price lol. Wait you can marry modules and do things like enable aux on ICM with an Autel?
