Online or offline
issues:
1: online - good,
offline - bad
GM MDI good, interface works online.
update mdi 100%.
offline too bad
for new cars.
2: wifi card
compatible
at now, chinese
clone GM MDI with squ wifi card
3: wifi not working
but works good with USB
I bought a cheap
one and it only worked with usb. The wired network and wifi did not work. In
fact, the card flash socket was missing from the board. Build quality was not
to bad. I just use it to flash newer pcm/ecm's.
GM MDI WIFI version:
GM MDI USB version:
Source - a man of
his words to trust in:
I would not go
by pictures posted on
the web as venders share the same photos but the MDI I received from http://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/gm-mdi-multiple-diagnostic-interface.html
had a different
ethernet connector and missing cardflash socket. It was advertised as (without wifi).
It does work fine on USB and for flashing pcm/ecm because at 480 Mbit/s it is
almost 5 times faster then ethernet.
The MDI clone works fine with tech2win and
also TIS2000. Used it for diags and pcm flashing with no problem (through usb
port only)
