New Tech 2

[justdennis]

I just purchased a new Tech 2 and I was wondering if any of you that have some experience using one of these could give me a few pointers. I'm sure I will figure it out but if you know of any do's or don'ts, I would appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Dennis

Although the TECH II is over 20 years old, it's a powerful tool. Go slow and be careful how you use it at first. It's possible to "brick" your XLR going into settings you shouldn't go into. This might be beneficial for a beginner tech2_users_guide.pdf

Thanks for your words of caution, I hear ya. I have not been able to load the TIS2000 software yet, but I'm working on it. Even without that it has already fixed the problem I created when I tried to use an Xtool D7. By the way...
DO NOT BUY AN XTOOL SCANNER.

I was never successful in loading the software. Never needed it actually. I saved money on doing the top relearn procedure as the top had a tendency to forget where it was

I did not realize that it could do that without the TIS2000 software, good to know.

The software is used to program BCM/ECM/EBCM but I never had to do that. If you have the PCM card in the tool itself you're good to go on most anything.

I do have that so hopefully that's all I'll ever need.
Thanks
