Question:
I have VMWare fusion on my Mac laptop to run Windows XP. Can I use a USB to serial adapter cable to be able to use the Tech2 Security functions?
Answer:
Funny you should ask - I did this exact thing earlier tonight, on my Macbook Pro running XP in VirtualBox. From my experience VMWare's USB support is superior to VirtualBoxes, so I imagine it should be even easier with that host.
Make sure you use a good serial adapter. I used a Keyspan that has always worked great for me (and other people have reported success with as well).
I was using TIS 2000 since I have a 2001 9-3 that does not require Global TIS - I don't see why it would be any different though.
The only hiccup I had was in configuring the port in the guest OS. There are a couple of theoretical ways to go about it; in the end what I did was just map the USB device to the guest directly, so it showed up as a new USB device in XP. Then I installed drivers for the keyspan adapter in XP, and everything went smoothly.
Theoretically you could install drivers for the adapter on the OSX side, and then map the resulting serial device to a COM port via configuration in VMWare, but I'd recommend doing what I did (last time I messed with a Keyspan adapter in OSX the drivers were pretty outdated and therefore difficult to deal with).
If anyone else is using VirtualBox, you might find you need to add the USB device to the guest multiple times -- for some reason it disappeared on me a few times before it stuck. Again, I doubt VMWare would have that particular issue.
Hope it's helpful!

Tech 2 can solve climate control system issues in Hummer? YES!
Topic: Tech 2 clone for climate control system issues in Hummer? How to
Problem: Hello Everyone, I am having a problem with my climate control system in my 04 H2. The driver side was stuck on heat and the passenger side would blow ice cold air. I followed the GM reset procedure and now both the driver side and passenger sides are stuck on heat. Should I try anything else before I tear the dash apart and change the blend actuators?
Suggestion:
Try this
Start truck .
Put Ac in auto mode
Turn off engine
Remove battery . Both + and -
Give a day . At least a night
Connect batt
Turn key to on possition. Dont start engine
Give it 3-4 min to relearn .. DONT TOUCH THE AC CONTROLS
turn key to off for not more than 15 sec
Start engine and test Ac
If it doesn't work then you may need to replace the actuator and again follow the steps
But it is weird the two sides went bad at same time . I would look for more info before trying to change them
FYI if the drivers side is the one you're having the issue with, it is one of the easier actuators to replace. It is under the glove box and you can replace it just by removing the plastic underneath the glove box. Now if your passenger side was blowing hot and your drivers was cold, that's when you have to take the whole dash apart
Website:
http://www.chinacardiags.com/wholesale/gm-tech2-gm-diagnostic-scannerworks-for-gm-saab-opel-suzuki-isuzu-holden-1011.html This is the TECH II that I purchased.
Result:
Thanks Everyone! I received my Vertronix Tech II- It works great! I was able to re-calibrate the actuators and now the driver's side is working correctly, The scanner tells me that the passenger side actuator is stuck so I guess I will be taking the dash apart.
Test:
I have fully tested it with all systems now and it works great. It told me that I had to replace both of my climate blend door actuators. I was able to tear the dash apart and replace them in 2 hours. Now my AC works again!!!

What can I do with a Tech 2 scan tool?
Answer for " What can I do with a Tech 2 scan tool?":
GM Tech 2 is a diagnostic tool for the most part. It can be used to program out/in certain RPO's in the BCM and can be used to bleed the ABS brake system without introducing air into the system. The extent to which it can be used to tune a C5 corvette is that if you have a PCM Image that will work for your car you can save the current PCM Image and flash the new one you have onto the PCM. It cannot go in and individually change the tuning tables in the PCM as can say either EFI Live or HP Tuners tuning tools. But then those tools cannot touch the BCM either.
If you do or plan to do a lot of diagnostic work on your car it can be a worthwhile tool. Most of the diagnostic charts in the factory service manual assume the availability of a Tech 2. But you have to learn to use the tool like any other computerized diagnostic tool. It has layers and layers of menues to wade through. But in certain diagnostic situations it can be an invaluable tool because it allows you to turn on and off hundreds of computerized settings to aid in the diagnosis process.
GM intentionally dumbed down the capabilities of the Tech 2 to change things to avoid law suits due to an errant technician that changed engine or emissions settings that could result in engine damage or emissions violations.
Good to know: There are many factories working for Tech 2 production, including the genuine from the dealership and the clone by Chinese.
If you are just looking for a decent Tech 2 for use, a working china clone can be a good option. But you should make sure of the quality!

How to program key fob using Tech 2 scan tool
You will need a GM Tech 2 Scan Tool with it's 32MB card (updated) and the CANdi module. I have seen the pair sell for as cheap as $250 on Chinacardiags.com and as much as $3000 off eBay.
Btw, if you look for a decent tool for use only, it's ok to have a cheap but functional china clone.
Seems like the old answers are a cheaper and easier solution.
1. Have a GM dealer do it
2. Have a locksmith do it
3. Buy the Dorman part that comes with a programming module for less than $80.
Those options are cheaper if you do not have a Tech 2. This is why you will expect to pay for a Tech 2.
Which is like saying it is cheaper to take my car to the shop and have them change the water pump for $100 instead of me going to sears and spending $250 on a cool set of craftsman tools and a toolbox and doing the work myself. Personally, I am heading to Sears, because those tools will keep on saving me money for the rest of my life.
Yes, the Tech 2 does other things besides programming a key fob and you really would have to be a chevy buff / mechanic before it would be worth buying one. The tech 2 is not for everyone.
The Tech 2 is a powerful, versatile hand-held diagnostic computer, designed to help diagnose and repair automotive electronic systems.The Tech 2 supports the changes in the on-board electronic systems for model years 1992 to 2013. With the addition of the CAN Diagnostic Interface (CANdi) module, Tech 2 will support GM on-board electronic systems thru 2013.
The CANdi is an in-cable module that works with existing Tech 2 components including the VCI, cables and adapters to add CAN diagnostic capability to the Tech 2 tester. The CANdi module is fully backward compatible with current Tech 2 functionality and operates transparently when diagnosing non-CAN-equipped vehicles.
The Tech 2 has since been replaced with GM MDI.
