WiFi GM MDI Multi Interface GDS Tech2Win review

GM MDI (General Motors Multiple Diagnostic Interface) with WiFi is an interface between your vehicle DLC and a PC (by wired USB, wired Ethernet, wireless Ethernet ) and TIS2web.
GM MDI scan tool can certainly test all of the GM car from 1990 to 2013( Supports 2010-2012 Australia Holden).
Are available for SPS programming on current and also future SGM vehicles.
Required for diagnostics on new SGM Global A Electrical Architecture Vehicles.
Used with TIS2Web, GM Global Diagnostics System (GDS), SPS and MDI Manager Software.
Allows for GDS diagnostic.

GM MDI China clone Working well. Tested with GDS2 v.12.
Device works with GDS2 (Opel).
Device works with Tech2Win. (Opel, Hammer)
Device not works with SAAB via Tech2Win.
Price: USD259 + shipping cost(based on your country)
Pay via Paypal
REAL PHOTOS






The MDI came ready to use with the software installed. It worked since I already had Tech2Win, GDS2 and GM MDI Manager installed on my laptop. It works extremely well and I have no problems with it. The product image at the time I order showed the cable keeper, A/C 12 volt adapter and multiple diagnostic interface user’s guide CD which is used to install the MDI manager software on your laptop. These items were not included. It also said it was Wifi but did not come with a wireless card but with a wireless interface instead. There are two versions of GM MDI interface on China market, cheaper MDI less than US$180 with only USB connection and the other more expensive with wifi wireless connection.
The product would work excellent if you had the MDI manager software already on your laptop.











My device tested with many cars for 4 months.
Device works with GDS2 (Opel).
Device works with Tech2Win. (Opel, Hammer)
Device not works with SAAB via Tech2Win.
Tested by my own, works with Saab 9-5, 2003, 3.0
It works with tis2000 and tech2win NAO.
My MDI clone works fine with tech2win and also TIS2000 software.?Used it for diags and pcm flashing with no problem (through usb port only, cause wifi is unstable for programming functions).
Added a wireless card to that one too, same flawless performance.. Only issue for me is that they all have the same serial number.. So using 2 of them in the same shop with wireless would be impossible..
compared boards from a genuine to this clone, almost identical.. multiple layer pcbs, same tracers, didn’t see any difference except the board labeling was missing on the clone.
Wifi GM mdi good, interface works online. update mdi 100%. offline not that good for new cars.
Nissan Consult III Plus Ver.46.30 works on MDI interface as well (this is not tested by me, your are on your risk).

How to install MVCI Toyota Techstream on MacBook

This Xhorse MVCI Toyota Techstream setup is a MackBook Pro with 8 GB RAM running VMware. In the VM I am running Win XP Pro, SP3 to which I have allocated 2 GB. This seemed to be a happy medium to get the VM running at a reasonable speed.
Anyway on further reflection, I decided to do an overview of what I believe to be the logical steps to install MVCI/TS and try not to get too bogged down in the technical minute of the detail.











I’ll quickly list the steps, then follow that with an explanation of my logic. So here goes:
  1. Install the Xhorse MVCI driver MSI that came with your cable.
  2. Plug in your MVCI cable. (IIRC you should see some Windows install activity in the bottom right-hand side of the screen.)
  3. Run the?X-Horse Firmware Updater Tool?and confirm you see all the fields populated with data, including the Firmware version.
  4. Install the TS software that came with your cable.
  5. BEFORE opening TS (big temptation, but resist), open a Finder window and locate C: Program files\Toyota Diagnostics \Techstream\Env
  6. Within this folder locate IT3System.ini and open it in?TextEdit.
  7. Scroll down to AVAILABLE FUNCTION SETTING
  8. Switch off the TIS Function by changing TISFunction=1 (or what ever value it is) to TISFunction=0 {i.e. zero}
  9. Click File, and Save.
  10. Now open TS and BEFORE you do anything else, check that the TIS Techstream?VIM is NOT selected, but rather the other choice (e. g. XHorse – MVCI VIM) IS selected.
Following these steps should give you a working set up.
Things to bear in mind in order to be useful the MCVI cable need to be connected even when not connected to the car, while that seems obvious, sometime we miss the obvious.
To actually use TS, the other end of the MVCI cable needs to plugged into the OBDII port of you car. Also the car needs to be in at least IG-ON, but most of the time it will need to be in READY.
My sequence to connect is:
  • Boot computer and login.
  • Plug in MVCI into the USB port.
  • Plug in the other end into the OBDII port.
  • Make car READY
  • Launch TS.
  • Press?Connect to Vehicle; you may have to answer some questions.
  • Start diagnosing/checking.
RATIONAL FOR MY INSTALL SEQUENCE
Caveat: I have tried both install TS software and then MVCI drivers and also MVCI drivers and then TS software and while I was able to get the software working in both scenarios, I found that the approach I have outlined below was easier with a higher chance of success than doing it the other way. So be aware I’m not saying it won’t work if you install TS first, I just think what I have outlined is easier. Also, doing it this way you can do updates to a newer version easier as you just pick up the process from step 4 and go to the end. YMMV.
  1. Install the MVCI driver MSI that came with your cable. The MSI file is a Microsoft Setup Information file and it is essentially a container type of file (similar concept to ZIP, TAR, RAR files) that contains all the files you need to setup software or drivers. In our case the drivers for the MVCI cable. there is only 1 maybe 2 files that we really need to install, but one of the files is a script that executes a series of Win commands to achieve this. One of the commands is to copy an edited version of a TS file. If the TS file exists already it copies over the top of it to replace it. If it doesn’t exist, it just creates the TS folder and sub-folder structure to copy the TS file into place. This is important to understand because this is the method by which it avoids the necessity to go through the registration process in older versions of TS. Likewise, some packages require the running of TISKEY, they give you a key to enter in the registration screen of TS or they give you a hacked copy of the TS executable to copy over and replace the installed executable. None of this is necessary in this install sequence, because registration is achieved by the editing of the IT3System ini file in steps 4-8.
  2. Plug in your MVCI cable.?Windows will now connect the cable with the driver.
  3. Run the X-Horse Firmware Updater Tool and confirm you see all the field populated with data, including the Firmware version. If you can see the cable info, success! If do not connect, you need to pause here and figure out why you cannot connect.
  4. Install the TS software that came with your cable.?I found this pretty straightforward, just launch the installer and follow the prompts.
  5. BEFORE opening TS (big temptation, but resist), open a Finder window and locate C: Program files\Toyota Diagnostics \Techstream\Env.?Do these next 4 steps, trust me.
  6. Within this folder locate IT3System.ini and open it in TextEdit.
  7. Scroll down to AVAILABLE FUNCTION SETTING
  8. SwitchTIS Function.
  9. Click File, and Save.
  10. Now open TS and BEFORE you do anything else, check that the Toyota TIS Techstream?VIM is NOT selected, but rather the other choice (e. g. XHorse – MVCI VIM) IS selected. This ensures TS is looking at your cable.
I have deliberately not put in any detail around troubleshooting if you don’t get the right result at every step. To be honest I cannot anticipate where you might get errors (or why), I have documented (as best I remember) the process I followed and I have a working setup. So I will leave it up to people to ask questions if they strike trouble, and hopefully I or the collective minds can help out.
