    Default Local Tech2

    Hi guys. Fairly new to the forum and modifying. I'm in the process of adding a few things that will need Tech2 to activate. I did get one of those clone things but now I have it I'm not sure I really want to use it - combination of it being a clone and my lack of knowledge. Really don't want to fry any modules!!

    So I'd rather get the activations done properly or at least by someone who knows what they're doing. Any recommendations? I'm based in Yate and work in Filton so I use Drive vauxhall north for services etc, and pretty happy with them these days, but not sure if they're in the business of activating mods!

    Thanks for any assistance.

    OK, so I've been doing a bit of a trawl on the forum and concluded there are things that could go wrong with opcom, especially on the bits I want to activate so I have emailed a local company - MH Diagnostics, to see what they can offer. If anyone has any experience of them, I'd be interested to know.

    Ah ok.i though ubgot clone tech2 but u probably have opcom popcorn etc. With popcorn dont access door modules(aparently it can brick them) and it cant program bcm iirc.with vauxcom u can do bcm but still cant do door modules. These close cant be discussed on forum due to copyrights etc but maybe u should clarify what things u trying to do mate

    Hey fellow bristolian. The clone Is good for fault trading but wouldn't trust it to do anything major. As for the activating you might have to travel. @plasma maybe able to help but he is in Essex but might know some one closer

    Thanks guys. Yeah I've been deliberately vague on what I want to do as to be honest I'm not entirely sure yet. I am retrofitting autodim mirror and rain sensor this weekend, I know autodim only needs tech 2 for the reverse and interior light cancel facility so that's not a showstopper.

    I'm fitting the rain sensor out of a sense of neatness if I'm honest, but it would be nice if it was functional.

    Longer term I'm thinking maybe fog lights, but not got any further with my plans just yet. If I have to travel that's fine, but in that case I'll want to get as much activated as possible. Hence was thinking if there was a local garage who could oblige, it may work out cheaper than a tank of petrol.

    If I'm honest using a clone setup doesn't sit well for me from an ethical / moral standpoint as well as technical so I really don't want to go down that route.

    Thanks for checking in mate. Well, fitted the mirror but haven't done the rain sensor yet so not bothered with the programming just yet. I reckon best plan is for me to drive over to someone. Tbh it would be a good excuse to meet some of the forum members and perhaps get some constructive feedback on the vec and what mods are possible.

    I do love the mirror though. Don't know how I managed for so long without!
