Where do I find the Tech 2 Software sticky? I have been searching for ages.

 

Im Almost there!

Thanks for the response. I upgraded to a newer version of VMware fusion and I was able to install the TIS 2000. Looks like I only need a couple of things now:

1) I still do not have the dongle crack....can someone post a good link?
2) I have to go by and buy a Serial to USB adapter tomorrow. I have heard there are good ones and bad ones...how can I tell which ones work? I thought Id go check Radio Shack first.

 

If you download the Tis 2000 from the link in Tech2 software sticky, it will have the dongle crack included, as I said before, just follow the readme file and you will be guided on how to do the Tis 2000 install.

 

Did you install the TIS 2000 from the link below?

If not uninstall...reboot...install TIS 2000 from the link above.

This is the only serial to USB that I can recommend because it worked for me:

Dear friends, hello. I face some problems with the installation of Saab TIS2000 2.2008. I downloaded the files from this link above and I am trying to install the software to VirtualXP. I can't find the setup.exe and the autorun.exe doesn't seem to do anything.

 

Thanks for the help

Well, Im about 90 percent there, i think.

I went in and used the software from the sticky you mentioned and after many headaches....the app seemed to be stable...I got as far as getting security access. But When i got to the determine software screen for reprogramming my ECU....the screen just locks up with hour glass.

Do I need to be hooked up to both the car and the TIS app? I tried both ways, but they both didnt seem to help....seems like the app if just hanging.

I am enclosing a screen shot of where I get to...After several attempts, now I cant even get back into the security screen....I was going to wipe out everything and try one more time.

Hi TXSabbie,
How did you Get past this bit?
I have the same issue, just hangs with an hourglass on this screen (after filling the "COUNTRY OF REGISTRATION" from a dropdown list). I've tried a few countries including mine, but it always just hangs on the hour glass after pressing next. tried it with different things on/off connected/disconnected reboot etc etc.
But no Joy.
EDIT = JOY, just keep trying, rebooted PC etc, didn't do anything different and this time (at least) it worked!!!
Cheers

 

I cant believe Im still messing with this...

Ok...So, I am about 98 percent done...I attempted to reprogram my old ECM first, and it took the new programming but it did not fix issue, so I thought, well at least now I can just reprogram the repl and im good...the new (used) ECM is the same part no, and it seemed to be taking the re program fine until it gave me an error after it downloaded the software (included pic).

So the only thing I can think of is that I got sold a crappy ECM???? Anyone seen this type of error before?

 

Not sure if this helps but did you try to marry the new used ECM to the car first? If not, I would try that and then try to update the software!

 

Good idea.

Thanks for the tip....and, yes, as I fell asleep last night, I thought that error might be related to that. How do you marry the new ECU to the car? I was noticing that my Saab software doesnt seem to have all the options I heard were on the Tech 2.....the tech 2 even mentions that after I download the software, I may need to go in to the "ALL" option and add/remove and then add the new ECM...I went through all the options on the Tech 2(there are only 5) diagnostic, SPS, and a freeze/capture option.the other two are useless (info, etc). Is there a chance I dont have the correct/updated software?

 

It should say what version of software you have on bootup. Should be 148.

 

Adding the module to your car is the same as marrying.

 

Thanks for all the help, everyone

I went home during lunch and I do have the 148 Saab version. So, about all that is left is to marry the new unit before I try to program it. I guess I probably should remove the old ECM off the car too first to start....I will update, but I think if it fails after this, it is probably a bad ECU that was sent to me...Ill have to look for another - this one was only 45.00.

 

Thank you everyone!!!!!

Ok...so I finally was able to program a new ECM that only cost 99 dollars...I guess the first one i purchased was bad. I also was able to run Win XP on my Macbook Pro which is nice because it is super fast so it loads Win XP in a couple of seconds. I would much recommend running an emulator on a current PC or Mac versus finding an old laptop because of the speed issue.
I did get an error when trying to download the software onto the new ECM - it was an infotainment module error....I was able to by pass it by turning the radio on so the ECM would recognize it...simple fix. Tech II tends to be a little quirky like that.
Anyway, I am on my third day with no engine lights, and no rough running. Car is driving like brand new although I do think I have an oil leak somewhere that will require a little investigation work.
I would be happy to help anyone in my area that needs Tech II help...I have already gone in and turned the stupid daytime running lights off!!!!

Thanks again for everyone's help on this forum. I will try to help others to pay it forward.

 

Glad everything worked out! ;ol;

A couple of ideas to try when a program won't install...not just TIS 2000.

- Right-click run as administrator.

- Right-click troubleshoot compatibility.

I have downloaded and installed the TIS2000 program. How do I get past the dealership ID and registration screen?

 

dspargo thank you so much! That was a double Christmas present for me!
In the new link there are the two setup.exe files that were missing in the previous one. That's why I couldn't install the TIS2000. Google Drive recognizes the files as viruses and didn't let me download them. The only way I did it was by duplicate these files into my drive, and download these files because it recognizes me as the author of the files. There will be a warning again, but you can ignore it and proceed to the download. That was the first present!
The second present from you was this answer:

Not sure if this will help but here goes. I use VMware. Under settings, it says I'm using COM3. In TIS 2000 under IO Management the setting for the dongle is COM1. For Tech 2 it's COM2.

SECURITY ACCESS--Difficulty. Please Help

In brief summary: *I have Tech II clone and all that comes with the kit *I seemed to have downloaded the Tis2000 and made the file swap to obtain security access bc I have the icon "Security Access" available on the computer screen *I have a dedicated laptop for this running Windows XP *I...

I faced some problems with the communication and that was the reason. During the installation I chose COM1 for the TECH2. I could only communicate with the navigation menu but not with security access. I had to change the port to COM2 (virtual XP with USB-serial adapter).

So, I can't thank you enough for your time and your help!

PS: It would be better if the files were compressed in order to avoid the scan for viruses by Google, but I know that it is hard to do it again. Just to keep in mind.

Best wishes to all!

You're welcome. There are of a lot of bumps in the road but worth it in the end

 

Google again says both SETUP.EXE files contain a virus and cannot be downloaded. :-(

 

zipping both...check in 30 minutes and let me know

 

Got the TIS2000 zip, thanks.

 

Okay, I cant seem to find that software sticky you were talking about can you link it here? Also, I have tis 2000 installed but I then get error E666, I have researched and saw that I haven't done the dongle crack. I just need the files at this point. This is what it looks like.

 

Hello. Where can I get the activation code for Global Tis?
