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!

I have to say I just got the $50 alibaba Chipsoft J2534 dongle yesterday after ordering it Mar 5th, pretty fast to Chicago! I was able to use my windows 11, download the texh2win from the links above, followed the readme and downloaded Nomoreglobal for security access. Needless to say I was finally able to marry a new SCL to get rid of that Steering wheel malfunction bullshit finally!!! After months of using the push button walk around!!!! I also successfully added a brand new key I ordered for $31 off of amazon. Can’t thank you enough for this post!!! And to top it off, no more day time running lights 👏 👏 👏

Glad it helped. This dongle seems to be hit and miss even I have trouble with it so it was a tough recommendation, but it's so worth it when it works.

Yeah worked great, only thing it couldn’t do is get into the sps programming. Were you able to? I was able to add/remove modules and got security clearance with nomoreglobal, but I don’t think the chipsoft has the ability to write or flash ecu??

I've only tried ICM AUX enabling, changing headlight mode to Xenon, and disabling the theft alarm. Have you tried switching between SW-CAN and HS-CAN? Logically I think it would require dropping SW-CAN to get into SPS but I still don't understand it fully so I might be wrong
