![]() ![]() Software updates.gone are the cartridges. Some bogus ones on eBay cannot be updated. Be aware.there are different types of PICMA cards. Current versions need a 32 mb PICMA card. Originaly sent out with a 10 mb PICMA card. That being said.Bosch Germany recently bought out all of Vetronix. So now the Tech 2 is a 'whole' Vetronix product. Vetronix ended up buying out the Hewlet Packard production line. Originally developed by Hewlett Packard using Vetronix software.go figure. The mass strorage cartridges could be updated with a GM Techline CD release. Seems to work fine on wifes 2003 VUE with Opel V6 engine (software hang up with most OBDII laptop software) That being said, there is a OBDII Global cartridge that covers powertrain for all OBDII diagnostics, example Ford, Honda, Toyota etc Fed codes only. GM software support for the Tech 1 ended after 1997. We currently have a Tech 1a with both dealership 'mass' thru 1997 and a Global OBDII cartridge. The 'mass' one is a dealership version that covered all systems. So for '95 ABS you had to have the '94-'95 ABS cartridge for example. Pricey little bastards at about $800 each. The Tech 1 and 1a were set up on a system by system 'cartridge' design. Look for one that has the dealership 'mass storage cartridge', it allows access to all systems. ![]() Sometimes you can find a used Tech 1a on eBay for a good price. ![]()
