Tech2
Hi peeps,
Well I'm new to the forum but thought I would ask a question that I'm sure someone will be able to help with.
I have got a Vectra C Sri 150 with the cd70 install GID however the range and other BC functions are not working/enabled.
I believe this can be done by TECH2 now I have done a search on buying a tech 2 device and find them for £30 however are these full Tech2 devices or just a fault code reader marked up as Tech 2
Cheers

What year is your car as the one you are looking at is up to 2004 there's better ones that will do up to 2009 and yes they will do tech2 just like the main dealer but you say much about they on here
A working tech2 costs about 2-3 grand. Opcom/Vauxcom costs around £500. There are opcom copys that cost about £30 but you risk a world of pain if it goes wrong as theres no back up, and yes ive seen many a thread where it's cost hundreds to sort out.
So by all means spend 30 quid and more than likely everything will be fine but just be aware what could happen.

Well this is why the post.
My "stealer" does not seem very clued up on Tech2 saying it would cost approx 6 hours labour to change the setting on the cd70, which sounds extra long. I'm a developer ai use to looking at "code" and would never dream of charging that amount.
When you say no backup does that mean you can not backup the code at all? Is there anyone in my region that could demonstrate this at all? Willing to pay of course.
It's a 54 plate Vectra cdti sri 150

No code mate just baisicly selecting on or off. For instance, to activate drls you simply select the modual, then select drl then click the option you want, 1-4. The HU and screen will be similar, select the HU then select the screen, there will more to it but nit much, baisicly your just putting a tick in a box.
The problems lie when chaps start messing with imobiliser stuff, or if the copy software goes breasts up.
I'll be honest and say last week my CIM churned out 20 fault codes and I lost all functions that go through it including the imobiliser and I wasn't even messing with that system. Luckily I used my advanced IT skills to sort it, that being hit the off button and pray for the best. I learnt my lesson that night lol.
Re back up, I mean support, gen opcom has a very good support system where as a copy doesnt.
There is a map on the forum of guys who have tech2 or opcom who are willing to help members.

vauxcom is roughly £800 not £500!
one downside with the illegal versions is no support from the developer for obvious reasons and the newest copy is over 2 years old. With vauxcom being constantly designed its starting to incorporate more functions..
For example if you wanted to program a BCM (body control module) it may have an ident of NC which opcom wont recognise because its not in the list but one with TC may be on its list. So its 'coverage' of all the various systems and different 'idents' of modules within the system is quite limited...
They said 6hrs to do it because they havent got a clue lol (thats the truth).. I did this programming for someone (vauxcom) when they said it wasnt possible at all, plus plenty more examples for various different people on here where a dealer could not do it...
Latest one was Vauxhall phoning me about programming a DDM module from scratch lol (khalid)....
Most things take roughly 20-40mins depending on the level of experience of the user....
Plasma's Tech2 services are now open and able to provide services
Could you point me in the right direction of this map please
The thread below is about where people are who are willing to help with diagnostics.
