It will probably come DHL, mine was supposed to be ups 3-5 day, and showed up from DHL.

You guys arent going to like figuring out how to login to globalconnect to use an MDI......If you download the software on your computer, you sign into globalconnect, Then you get to the MDI stuff. But you have 14 days until you actually have to re login to renew the subscription. I was gonna buy an MDI, i have a login, but still a hastle. making sure your computer is always charged, being on wifi to connect, otherwise you have to be corded everywere you go like a V2. Realistically, someone who has an issue with a 14 or 15 LML, its going to the dealer. If they want the junk removed then ill be fine here with my V2 to load in delete tunes and send it one its merry way.

Its pretty straight forward. Globalconnect is what the techs at the dealer use to login to on the internet. If you buy an MDI, you basically HAVE to be able to login to the system for the MDI to work. Once you login, the program is good for 14 days. So for the generic person to buy an MDI and pay $55 for 2 day subscription, is rather pointless.

Sorry if I was unclear. I worked for the dealer so I gues it all made sense to me in my head.

Just trying to be helpful :hug:
Everything makes sense to me in my head. For some reason the world isn't on the same page.

Yeah, Logan was right. They say UPS when you order, but they use DHL (which is MUCH bigger overseas than us, just not in the USA). Hell, I dont care....it made it here in one piece from HongKong in 4 days. Thats pretty damn cool. Ive wanted one of these things for years.
I figure two brake bleeds and a couple nav radio reprograms and it'll pay for itself. :hehe:

Yeah I may order one for the ABS reset if nothing else. :D I replaced a line on my wife's truck and it'll stop the truck but it's def not as good as my truck. And her ABS light is on.

It's crazy, usually things from China make it here faster than a neighboring state. I have to give them that.

If you had a brake line replaced...it does not bleed the entire system, so unless you just have some air trapped at the abs module on the frame, then you still need to manual bleed the brakes prior.

^ Tis what I meant. Opening the valves on the ABS module to do a full bleed after replacing all the brake hardlines. This will also help with the security relearn on the 1/2 ton when I get it done....so its paid for itself already. :)

If anyone needs the User Guide for the Tech2, here it is. I had to split it in half due to its size.

My boss thinks these "knockoffs" are a joke and won't even entertain the idea of ordering one..

I'm about to order myself one
