What diagnostic intertface for Opel/Vauxhall ? - frank_knarf - 01-03-2017

Hi all !

I'm need some support - I want to buy the best tool I mean hardware and software for Opel/Vauxhall diagnostic. Very often in my garage I have clients with cars one or two years old. For example Astra K after small crash etc. But currently I have no tools to diagnose it (I mean Opel) and for example add new key, add drivers or reprograminng numbers when client is comming with used parts. I will be glad if some of you have any idea or experience with Opel and whant to shar it.

Regards,
Farnk

hello there opcom can do most things for Opel/Vauxhall and is the cheapest option there's tech 2 but very expensive all depends on your budget etc

I have personally programmed new keys to corsa c astra h etc all with opcom and never had a problem.

Carprog is another good 1 for reading ecu security pins.

you don't necessarily need these you can always get high quality Clone for 20 eBay but as others say tech 2 is the best but I've always used my good old opcom wink

Take care guy. He needs a tool+software for newest opel cars as Astra k, Corsa E Adam etc
Opcom HQ clone for usually using with last opcom 150406b is good but not good coverage in this moment for all this new models.
A opcom hq clone is less then 100€ and its only Revision B
You need at least Revision C or a D that cover CH-CAN
A Revision C HQ clone could be 100€ but a HQ clone Revision B is less
In my opinion as a backup you must have of this but to have 100% coverage in all this car you need a GM MDI
Tech2win and GDS2 with lastest 2017 package.
Official subscription is 120€/year ( unofficial is less and for more then a year ).
Tech2win subscription you can find for free
For online SPSP Programming you can buy official subscription for one hour or a day. Its chap enought ( no offline solution after 2012)
GM MDI genuine one is 800€ second hand and a clone is less
Good luck
