The GM MDI 2 multiple interface will transfer data faster than a MDI 1/ VCX Nano GM (since its a MDI1 clone).  The GM MDI2 clone blue box are out, running about $218, it is really needed for the 2020 and future cars that will be running the future global B platform.

Hence installing the needed software to get everything to run can be almost brain damage if you are not tech savvy, and because of this, There is the MDI 2 clone with cracked free type software already loaded on a Sata Hard drive for $268.

MDI2 with 2020.09 HDD v8.3.103.39 gds2 tech2win
It will work on win10, but the cracked software for MDI2 clone requires win7.

Tips:
1. If you purchased V2020.09 GM MDI GDS2 Tech2win software Sata HDD, please directly plug it into your computer with Win7 OS, then confirm if the driver can be used, that’s ok, it is not necessary to install by yourself.

If it prompt update the JAVA, please don’t update it otherwise the GDS won’t be working.

If it prompt update the firmware, just do it.

2. After updating GM MDI manager, please update the firmware simultaneously.

Check: Update GM MDI/MDI2 Firmware

3. The WIFI GM MDI 2 Multiple Diagnostic Interface from OBD2TOOL is compatible with the original Bosch GDS2 software, as long as the user has License by yourself.

Customer feedback on MDI2 clone and genuine GDS:

“I just received my MDI II clone a couple of days ago and did a firmware update to make sure the latest v2020.12 Bosch software would recognize it and update it and it did with no problem. Programmed an ECM on bench. Connecting it through ACDelco Tis2Web and then use SPS to program the actual controller.

It is verified working with bosch GDS just as the seller advertised.”

If someone is looking to buy a Global B platform car, and needs a tool that will work on both it and the older cars like the C6 corvette, GM MDI2 clone really is the ticket. As for right now for a C6 and “A” platform cars, the vxdiag vcx nano gm has you covered for $118 instead.

BMW Battery Registration vs. Coding

The registration procedure clears the charging history of the old battery and tells your BMW that a new battery with the same specs as the old battery is installed. The Engine Control Unit (DME) can charge the battery properly.

Battery Registration
Registration must be performed every time you change the battery on a 2002 and newer BMW. It lets the car know the battery installed is brand new.
If the new battery has the same specs or very close to the old battery (CCA, CA, Ah, battery type) no coding will be required.
Battery Coding
In addition to the registration procedure, you will need to carry out coding if you change the battery capacity or type. Coding is required if the new battery has different specifications compared to the old battery installed in the car.
For example, if you install a battery with a higher or lower cranking Ampere rating, or switch between Lead Acid and an AGM battery, you will need to code (program) the DME. Otherwise, the DME may overcharge or undercharge the new battery, and therefore shorten the life of the battery.

Some FAQs:

Q: Why do I need to register a new battery?
A: The short answer is that BMW designed the charging system with an algorithm that varies the rate of charge by the age and type of the battery installed. Registering a new battery resets the algorithm back to optimal charging voltage for the specified battery.

The long answer: “The negative battery cable has an electronic control unit on the battery end of it called an intelligent battery sensor (IBS). The IBS measures the state of battery charge and sends this information to the ECU. The ECU uses this information to control how much charging voltage is needed from the alternator to support vehicle electricity needs. A battery deteriorates normally over time and depending upon service demands and driving profile. The IBS reads this and the ECU tells the charging system to increase voltage and amperage output incrementally as the battery matures. Therefore, at battery replacement time, if you don’t tell the ECU it has a new battery it will overcharge the new battery causing it to wear out faster.

The registration process takes place in the ECU, which is the main player in this system. Also, when the IBS sees that battery voltage is too low for normal vehicle operation it can start shutting down vehicle functions to conserve power while keeping the vehicle operational. This would be accompanied by a check control warning of excessive battery discharge.”

Q: Why do I need to “code” for a new battery?
A: The answer to this varies. You may not have to! That is, so long as you replace your old battery with an exact replacement. However, if you switch from a wet-cell type battery to an AGM type battery, or vice versa, you must code for the change.

AGM and wet-cell batteries require a different rate of charge output from the alternator. Moving between these two types without coding can lead to over-charging or under-charging.
Also, batteries have a discharge rating called amp hours (ah). You must specify to the DME what the “ah” rating of your battery is so the car can run the proper charging algorithm.

Top BMW Battery Registration Scan Tools:

To complete the BMW battery registration process yourself, you will first need an OBD2 scanner that can perform BMW battery registration. Here is a list of popular scanners that you can use to register a new BMW battery.

Foxwell NT510/NT520/NT530 for BMW
One of the most popular BMW scanners. The tool can be used to register a new BMW battery with similar specs compared to the previous battery. Installing a new battery with significantly different specs requires coding which is not currently available on Foxwell NT510 at the time of testing.

BMW ISTA Rheingold
Require a laptop, ISTA software and hardware interface (BMW ICOM, K+DCAN, ENET cable etc).
Autel Scanners (MaxiSys, TS608, MD808 Pro etc)
Professional Level Diagnostic Scanner. It can be used to program and code any type of battery including AGM and lead-acid, even if the replacement battery is significantly different than the original.

BMW INPA Software (INPA K+CAN)
Require a laptop and familiarity with INAP software. One of the cheapest scan tools able to register a BMW battery.

Even for the best vehicle diagnostic tools, errors are always hard to avoid. So people present some problems to us after they buy the GM Tech2. And today I wanna pick 3 main troubles here and give the answers to other people who have bought the tool.

The first question is that after you bought it, you may meet the condition that the TIS2000 software can’t be installed and no identification.

Don’t worry, if the TIS2000 you are trying to install has contained in the GM Tech2 software, then install the TIS2000 software is useless. To program electronic control unit, you would better buy an extra TIS2000 to work with the GM Tech2.

The second question is that find some errors after receiving the GM Tech2.
When you meet this trouble,the first thing you should check is that if it is blue screen. If it is, then just replace the Blue Screen Chip is ok. If it is not the problem of Blue screen, please send the seller the self-test report to check where the problem is. If you don’t know how to operate self test, you can consult the self-test manual at GM TECH2 “technical support / service”.

Once the tool starts to smoke, and even your car voltage become 14V from 12V when you use the GM Tech2 for the second times, please follow the right operation steps as what I say. Before you start diagnosing, please turn on the ignition and then connect the GM Tech2 with your vehicle, you would better test the voltage when the car starts , because during this process, a part of vehicle’s voltage will reach up to 24V or higher, especially for the vehicle which has a poor contact of electrical ground.

The next generation of the J2534 GM Multiple Diagnostic Interface, or GM MDI 2(Fig. 1, right), offers increased processing power and security than the original MDI (Fig. 1, left) for faster programming speeds on current Global A vehicles as well as future Global B vehicles. The compact communication module is required in order to manage the transfer of data between a vehicle’s onboard network and a service technician’s PC.

The MDI 2 supports diagnostic applications — GDS 2, Data Bus Diagnostic Tool, and Tech2Win — as well as Pass-Thru programming applications — TIS2Web–SPS.

Enhancements to the tool were based on technicians’ feedback on how they use the MDI and how to improve it. It replaces the first generation MDI, introduced in 2007, for Pass-Thru programming on current GM models. The MDI 2 is backward compatible, so it can be used to perform Pass-Thru programming on all vehicles built since 1996.

The MDI 2 connects to the vehicle via the J1962 connector using a new DLC cable. Connection between the GM Diagnostic Tool MDI 2 and the PC running the Global Diagnostic System 2 (GDS 2) software can be accomplished via standalone (USB), through a new Point-to-Point wireless Wi-Fi interface feature (a simple plug & play), or through the dealership network (Ethernet or wireless).

MDI 2 Kit

The EL-52100 MDI 2 kit includes:

*   MDI 2 Unit
*   SAE J1962 DLC Cable (Fig. 2)
*   10-ft. USB A to USB B Cable (Fig. 3)
*   Ethernet Cable
*   D-Link Wireless USB Adapters (Dongles) (Optional; for wireless connection)

A DLC Cable Self-Test Loopback Adapter (Fig. 5) was sent to dealerships as an essential tool in December. It’s compatible with the MDI and MDI 2. It’s also sold separately through GM Dealer Equipment.

The adapter is used to test the DLC cable for open wires when used with the MDI Manager software. The adapter also can be used to power the MDI or MDI 2 on the workbench.

MDI 2 connections
A. USB Port Type A
B. DB26 Connector (DLC Cable)
C. USB Port Type A
D. USB Port Type B – PC Connection Port
E. Wireless Adapter (Dongle)
F. Ethernet Port

New Features
*   Wi-Fi Connection – The USB Wi-Fi adapter uses a USB dongle that enables Point-to-Point connections without the need for Wi-Fi SSID information or a wireless router.
*   USB Connection – Uses a new, more secure Type B connector and Ground Offset Failure protection. A wired connection is recommended for longer programming events.
*   Power Source – The MDI 2 is powered from the vehicle battery via the DLC Cable. It may also be powered over USB to perform firmware updates only using a PC.
*   Power Backup – Internal batteries that were used in case of a power interruption have been removed, which eliminates the possibility of old batteries corroding over time and damaging the unit. Capacitors maintain power during engine cranking, so operation is maintained.
*   Firmware Download – Uses USB 2.0 for faster firmware downloads instead of a separate AC power supply.
*   Future Expansion – Additional USB ports, an SD memory card slot and Function buttons are built into the unit for future enhancements.
*   Operating Temperature Range – The temperature range has been extended to -20° to 70°C (the MDI range was zero to 50° C).
*   DLC Cable – The DLC cable is twice as long as the previous cable and connects at the top, making it easier to use. The cable only connects to the MDI 2. A self-test adapter (accessed through the MDI Manager) can be used to test the integrity of the cable.

MDI Manager Software

The MDI Manager must be installed on the PC in order to configure, update and run diagnostic applications targeted for the PC.  Initially, use the MDI Manager software to set up the configuration of the MDI 2. The MDI Manager is also used to update the firmware on the MDI 2. Visit the TIS2Web/GlobalTIS website to determine if a newer version of MDI Manager software is available.

Wireless Dongle Setup

The first time the MDI 2 is used, the point-to-point USB dongle must be paired with the PC, which will install the necessary drivers on the computer. One dongle should be plugged into the PC and one into the MDI 2. The dongles are identical. Use either one for either connection. Remove the bottom dust cover to access the port.

TIP: Do not plug the dongle into a USB hub. It must be plugged directly into the computer.

Connect the MDI 2 to the PC via the USB cable. After starting the MDI Manager, the Point-to-Point connection is automatically configured. The USB dongles are intended to stay plugged into the PC or laptop at all time. If it must be removed, safety eject it by right-clicking on the Windows USB icon in the bottom right toolbar on the computer.

Dealerships considering new purchases should look into the MDI 2 for its many new advantages The original MDI will continue to be supported, but will not work on future Global B models.
