This is for mpvi3 only. Another way to force the version 5 software and make the now 2 year old mpvi2+ obsolete.

Only "75 select shops" will be allowed to use this.......

Is this a slow roll out or are they only partnering with shops that promise to not violate the EPA? Or maybe just the ones that buy a lot of credits?

Will this be available to regular users ??? if so, what is the timeline looking like ???

you will need to invest, either buying 25K in MPVI3 devices or RTD to become a "reseller" dealer to enter and be part of the selected shops

While I do not know the exact specifics of the Global B architecture and it's comm protocols, it does make sense that a new MPVI was probably necessary......as the original GM/Bosch MDI will not work on Global B either, the MDI 2 is necessary for comms with Global B vehicles. Considering what THEY cost, I'd be a little bit angrier if I was a tech who made an investment on the original tool :D

It's just part of the biz. I owned a Tech1 in the 90s. Then a Tech2. Then an MDI and now the MDI2. They're all pricey for their time period but if you want to stay current it's what ya gotta do.

Kind of off-topic, but as a tech what is your take on the lack of new MDI2 availability outside of dealer channels? Is it really the post-COVID material shortage they pin it on, or is it something more sinister....like *insert OEM here* (not just GM) doesn't really want those tools in the hands of the "unwashed masses"?

I just purchased the wifi model recently. Not a real deal mdi2 but pretty close.

Curious about this too.

@HPTUNERS is that just an initial rollout to get things started or is the plan going forward to only let the big name shops tune these?

I don't know, I can only assume, but I'd think it's the same ol' same. OEs want to keep control of as much as they can. I've always had a GM dealer hook up so that's kept me very much "in the loop".

I hope you bought a quality aftermarket flash tool and not a MDI2 Chinesium knock off. I'm not sure even a good aftermarket tool is going to do all the different relearns that will be involved.

I ordered the mdi2 straight from bosch. Think it was around 850 shipped. Took probably 8 weeks to arrive.

That's the real deal then.
