The rollout of the Techline Connect and GDS2 split update continues this week. On August 6, 2025, changes to the way GDS2 operates was released to all GM dealerships in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Geogia, Guam, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota and Tennessee.

Once the update is installed, selecting the GDS2 icon from the Techline Connect (TLC) dashboard, GDS2 will launch outside of TLC. Designed to improve the performance of both TLC and GDS2, the update splits memory usage, allocating more memory to both applications. The enhanced performance should help reduce application crashes and improve overall operation.<\/p>\n

Downloading and Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The update will be downloaded and installed automatically upon logging into TLC with proper administrative rights.<\/p>\n

When updating from one core version to the next, many firewalls\/antivirus programs will recognize it as a new application. Users may need to engage local IT support to ensure TLC is entered as an exception in these programs to allow normal functionality. As a user, you also need full local administrative rights to install the update.<\/p>\n

If you have questions related to this communication, please contact the Techline Customer Support Center (TCSC) at 1-800-828-6860.<\/p>\n
