A new software update for the MDI 2 Manager is being rolled out to GM dealerships (U.S.) The staggered rollout of the new MDI 2 Manager software (version 9.1.2202.128) includes several enhancements, including to the Point-to-Point (dongle) wireless channel selection algorithm, which will address some of the MDI 2 connection issues that technicians may be experiencing. It also contains an update to the wireless dongle firmware.
The update for the MDI 2 Manager application software, which allows the MDI 2 (Fig. 8) to communicate with the host computer, should automatically download and install when opening Techline Connect (TLC).

The initial rollout of the software update will include a select list of dealers from several states. Additional dealers in other states will be added over the next few weeks.
When the update becomes available to your dealership, the MDI 2 Manager update will begin when logging in to Techline Connect. As a user, full administrative rights are needed to install the update. If encountering issues with the MDI 2 Manager update not installing or functioning properly, right click on the TLC icon on the desktop and select “Run as administrator.”
Any questions about the software update should be directed to the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) at 1-800-828-6860.
