The MDI 2 and accessories are available to order through gmmdi.service-solutions.com (administered by Bosch).
Due to large volumes of MDI 2 orders, the website may reflect an out of stock message. However, an order can still be placed and Bosch will process the orders as usual. Fulfillment times may be up to two weeks, but orders may ship sooner depending on tools and accessories in stock.
TIP: The latest GM Dealer Infrastructure & Security Guideliness recommend one MDI 2 for every Techline PC.
VIP Architecture
The VIP architecture, which debuted on some 2020 model year vehicles, offers enhanced capacity and the ability to better manage complex technology. With the capability of managing over 100 computer modules, it’s able to support active safety systems, Over-the-Air (OTA) vehicle software updates, 5G networks, enhanced cybersecurity protections and EV technologies.

Any J2534 device can be used for diagnostics and SPS programming. However, devices vary widely in their functions and protocols. Contact the device manufacturer to determine functionality and vehicle coverage. If you encounter any issues while using aftermarket devices, you’ll need to contact the device manufacturer for support. TCSC does not support non-MDI devices.
