Tools we use for this vehicle
Factory scan, coding, and calibration access
GM GDS2 / GM Tech2Win / GM MDI 2
Factory routines and secure server authorization control this path when aftermarket coverage is not enough for the VIN.
ADAS scan, setup, and verification
Autel, Launch Tech, Topdon
Used where aftermarket coverage supports the procedure; OEM software remains required for locked factory routines.
Bench cloning and chip-level recovery
Alientech / Autotuner / Orange5 / Scanmatik / Flex / VVDI2 / PCMFlash / CGDI / X-Prog
Used only when the module, donor data, EEPROM, MCU, or crash-data workflow requires bench or chip-level handling.
Bench/chip-level only
