I own a VXDIAG NANO GM. I bought the 2 year subscription from the tis2web site so that I could update the software in my 2014 Chevy Impala. Well, everything worked except my driver seat memory control module. An error appeared during programming and it bricked it so I can’t move my seat or mirrors. GDS2 can’t see it now either to run diagnostics. Bought a new seat module and they are un-programmed from the factory but it won’t program either. I was reading in a blog that I probably need an interface that allows me to use the MDI manager directly from GM and not a hacked version. Some people claimed that some of the modules need the latest MDI code from GM to work.
Do you agree with the blogs I have read about needing the most current MDI manager software?
Is the MDI 2 100% compatible with the GM one so that I could use the MDI manager from the GM site and be able to update the interface with GM firmware? Or does it use a hacked MDI manager like the VXDIAG?
If not then do you sell an interface that would work with the original MDI manager software from GM that would allow use of the latest software?
GM also has CAN bus diagnostics software that that the VXDIAG does not fully support. Do any of your other interfaces like the MDI 2 support it?

If you are a BMW car owner, you need a solid BMW scan tool to check out what happened when your BMW car has problems. So here lists out 4 BMW Code Readers for reference.
It can be used without having to connect it to a computer which makes it efficient for everyday use.
With this BMW OBD1 and OBD2 Scanner, you can easily access your cars since it is made simple and user-friendly.
The FOXWELL NT510 is probably the best BMW scan tool for use with non-BMW cars. However, you have to pay for the software to use the tool with cars that aren’t BMWs. Despite that, you can use it with Ford, GM, Toyota vehicles, and any other car makes you can think of once you’ve bought the right software patch.
Pros:
– Fast running speed and communicating speed since it comes with better IC and newest PCB.
