I was able to successfully update a couple modules in the Caprice. I now have a dome light that comes on with the door and remote start (if I had the proper remote).It works just like in the video however, I found the following. For me, it worked on a 4 year old Celeron laptop with 8 MB of ram and Win 10 Pro despite their requirements for a Core I3 or higher. You must use Internet Explorer, buried somewhere in Win 10, since Edge won't work.

And if you do Saab models, do you special Saab TIS2000. Installed a fresh copy of Windows XP SP3. I didn’t bother with updating anything else as far as security updates to Windows or install a virus scan because this computer will never be connected to the Internet or used for anything else.
And I had to uninstall the latest version of Java and install an old one they posted on their website. You also have to add two sites as trusted sites to work properly (they explain all this when you start SPS).So this does indeed work. It's for TIS, (but I'm playing around with both). TIS gives me no issues other than what I wrote on the post, (the Tech 2 doesn't show anything in SPS for my 2007 Saturn when requesting info).But TDS.now that's a cluster.
An error message shows up in SPS 'M4404: Please restart your Programming interface and press OK to retry! Press CANCEL to abort'.I've got AC voltage to the Tech 2, and I'm using a Tripp Lite Keyspan High-Speed USB to Serial Adapter, (USA-19HS), and the connection is good. I paid the subscription fee and I'm beginning to think that was a mistake. So so far, I cant get a link up with any of the both services. Can you check the Settings for the Com Ports and INCREASE THE BAUD RATE and see if that has any Positive Effect?
If your Battery is NOT right at Tip Top Shape and/or not holding above 12.7 VDC or Better. And/or if you're Powering the Tech 2 through the Bottom of the Tech 2 Hand Held Scanner Power Interface using 12VDC 1 Amp A/C Wall Power Unit instead of attaching that same Power Connector directly through the DLC Cable Female Power Receptacle on the OBD2 Adapter End.right where it Plugs into the Female OBD2 Port under the dash.
Then you might be getting some problems with subtle Voltage Drops and Fluctuations.You've thought of all this already, I'm sure.But jik. Make certain to Turn Off or Disable everything you can think of inside of the vehicle that draws any Juice from the 2007 Saturn Battery as well after Freshly Cleaning the Positive and Negative Battery Cable Connections as well. Even though you're Powering the Tech2 using a Steady AC/12 VDC Wall Power Source. If the PCM is not likewise getting stable juice from the car Battery.
You can suffer dropouts in the Class 2 Network Communication during Pass-Thru activities. Hope this Helps.
Welcome to GMT Nation! OK, here's what I got. Tried the DLC Female Power Receptacle Cable with ac power. No difference. Looked at the Baud and its 115.(the highest default setting).I'm a noob so bare with me. It may not be a connection problem.
You see I'm trying to chase down a no crank issue. Checked out all the fuses replaced and relearned the ignition switch, (no passlock light after relearn), tried everything to no avail. And this is before I got the Tech 2. The Tech 2 diagnostic pulled two DTC's and cannot communicate with other modules. The Two DTC's are Instrument Panel Cluster, U1000 Class 2 DATA LINK Malfunction, and B1384 Device ignition accessory circuit open. I hate guessing but I wonder if the BCM is done? I'm not the type of guy that's gonna swap out anything until I have a high degree of certainty.
That's why I decided on the tech 2. I have a better shot at narrowing down the problem with a solution.

I'm wondering if the lack of communication with the modules is the reason for the communication error. If the Saturns are anything like other GM's, there should be a main data link where all the modules connect. It's like a hub. On trucks, it's a taped up black connector with a multitude of difference coloured wires going and when untaped, there is a metal 'comb' that connects them all together.
You would then jump one module at a time to the DLC and then ping it with the Tech 2. You will have to find a repair manual for your Saturn with wiring schematics to know which wires are what. There could be one module that is killing the DLC communications. Thanks brother. I'm not happy with this Tech 2 Chinese pile of junk. I've should of known better.
There's all kinds of minor build deficiencies with this clone. But the major hassle is that it will not communicate with TDS or the TIS2000 software that came with the kit.
Loop-back test came back good on the Tech 2 but really I dont believe it. Self test good. Again, I dont believe it.
I've verified the connections, used multiple cables to see if maybe its a bad cable, verified the com ports, (changed them to other ports). Made sure in the TDS software and TIS software that the connection was going through the correct port and still the software cannot communicate with the Tech 2 device in either TIS, or TDS. Spend too many hours on this. It should be a minor plug and play connection but it is quirky and poor. Can anyone suggest something that can do the programming as well as a tech 2 that wont end up costing more than the price of the car? I heard that this may very well be similar:But I really do need something that would handle the programing needs of this 2007 Saturn Ion.
Strange.got really irritated at this thing and walked away for an hour but left it hooked up to my desktop. Next thing you know there some kind of activity happening on its screen. Double checked I/O management in TIS2000 and ran the test again and the message read driver test successful. I'm dumbfounded. I guess one has to let this thing sit for a while before it communicates?
Anyway this was my XP3 desktop using the OEM serial com port. I'll try it with TDS on my WIN7 using the Tripp Lite Keyspan High-Speed USB Serial Adapter, (USA-19HS) and report if letting it sit works?? BTW it's running on AC power. I was wondering whether any Screen Saver, Power Saver or Firewall 'Power Decline' or Time Out Issues might be involved with at least ONE of your involved Computers. I'm sorry that I forgot to mention one thing that can easily be overlooked.and that includes examining the (8) Spring-Loaded 12-KG Wires inside of the 'Hawk' (Hard Ware Key) HWK= 'Dongle' Device that may need to be 'Exercised' a half-dozen times to make sure that the Wire Tines are mating up perfectly with the hidden Gold Contacts within the Clear Plastic Ends of the RJ-45 Plug on the ends of the Silver Flat Ribbon Cable.Using a 'Graduated Eye-Ball' when looking inside of the 'Dongle' 4-pair Flat Silver Ribbon Cable end may reveal them to be slightly off on occasion.
Aligning those wires with even spacing might help if this turns out to be an isolated issue that needs to have absolutely EVERYTHING examined for the cause of this communication problem. Good Job on capturing your Computer Screen Imagery.Even with these problems. Your notion that the The 'GYMKO' Clone is the Cause and Origin of it all may turn out to be somewhat misplaced.but very understandable frustration. You seem very determined to solve the problem. And this means that eventually, Brother. You WILL.:).

Good Job on capturing your Computer Screen Imagery. I've got another WIN10 computer but I want to keep this at WINXP3 or WIN7 for now. My only other GM car is a late model Monte Carlo and its still brand new and under warranty so I cant mess with it yet.I did leave the Tech 2 on the first menu screen and after letting it sit for an hour I got that activity screen, (is that what you mean by boot screen)?Also, on SPS in TIS2000 I wasnt able to get past it because it wasnt connected to the vehicle. I was just doing a test to see if there was communication between the PC and the Tech 2. The application also has the ability to show the Tech 2 screen onto the PC if its communicating with the vehicle.
But thats only if its connected to the vehicle, (and it wasnt). So I am getting somewhere now. I'll try some more test later this evening. NOW we're getting somewhere. Look around on the Tech 2 Forum. Has a Link to where you can download a decent 'Software Dongle Crack' that may supersede what you have installed right now.
I prefer using the Physical Plug-It-In USB Port 'Dongle' vs. Using 'The Crack' any day, as mine has proven to be the most reliable extra necessary piece of hardware for my Tech 2 Set-Up.Basically the USB and 'The Software Crack' provides something similar to a 'Permission Slip' that allows TELNET- TTY Communications to pass between the Handheld Tech2.and the Old 'Tech-Line' Fancy Dealership Terminal Machines from 1996 and later. The image I stole from your own image posted earlier ALSO shows a Serial Communications-To- (9) PIN DIN Plug circled in RED as yet ANOTHER Physical Piece of Hardware from The Good Ol' Days that. Believe it or not. I've seen and used as proprietary Adapters that were ALSO Called 'Dongles' (God.I HATE That WORD!)Anyways.
Unless you already have one of THESE USB DONGLES.you can purchase an inexpensive Kit from aliexpress.com that Includes either a 2 or 3 Disk Set of TIS2000 CDs AND a USB Port DONGLE. That authorizes your Windows TIS2000 Software.to work:You can take your pick from this group of offerings from aliexpress.com for the CDs & USB Dongle Device. Www.aliexpress.comOne Last Precautionary Note.If you decide to go the USB Dongle Route. It will make your life a LOT easier if you just Install a FRESH TIS2000 Software Suite.and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHEN TO PLUG IN THE USB DONGLE WHEN THE APPLICATION ADVISES YOU TO DO SO.You Can NOT have BOTH the Software Dongle Crack AND the Physical USB Dongle Plugged in.running simultaneously. The Non-Obvious Conflict will occur.and the Software Error will give no clear indication as to how to solve the SW v.s HW Conflict. NOW we're getting somewhere. Look around on the Tech 2 Forum.

Free download GlobalTIS crack: (unknown security)
04.2019 GlobalTIS tested version: (worked well)
What’s the difference between GlobalTIS and TIS2000?
They are the same thing in practice, NOT 2 separate things. Global TIS is the newer version of TIS 2000. One replaced the other. Get Global TIS working and use that. Forget about TIS2000.
What’s additional function for GlobalTIS?
There’s the added revision search function for SPS, plus support for newer hardware and drivers (J2534, MDI), and the TLPrint, RPO and GDS functions. All of this is icing on the cake for most users here. The biggest difference is the rearchitecture, which is mostly invisible unless it fails.
GM wrote GlobalTIS starting with open source and IBM off-the-shelf components – I was working on a couple of them when I was at IBM.
The basics are available on both packages as long as your MY is supported. For non-MDI/Tech3 users like us, the two are functionally the same.
GlobalTIS installation & registration instruction:
The ideal OS is Windows XP 32-bit.
I’ve also installed it on Vista, 7 and 10…all 32-bit.
You will need the GlobalTIS ISO, Saab GlobalTIS keygen (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MBc3x1yb6pTC1tTGFvS3dodHc/view?usp=sharing), Sumatra PDF (if you don’t have a PDF reader), and the Virtual CD Control Panel (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38780)
Put all of these files on the desktop.
