Trip Computer Change (research)

The codes allows you to download the new software for the retrofit so when I did the AFL I needed the following

A VCI for the BCM to tell it to remove the halogen software and install the AFL software, Headlamp wash software & new light switch software.
A VCI for the IPC to tell the IPC I had AFL installed to allow error message related to the AFL system.

To request a VCI code you need to have a company and have applied for the access though GM.

Service Programming System (SPS) of ECU's *Many of the Electronic Control Units (ECU) are reprogrammable so that the software running on those units can be replaced by other software.
A new Service ECU can be programmed with the appropriate software as well. TIS2Web allows the transfer of new software to those ECUs using a Diagnostic Tool.
To start, ECU data is read out with a Diagnostic Tool and then transferred to TIS2Web. The new program will be selected and transferred to the Diagnostic Tool. Then, the programming of the ECU can be started.




Security Access *
'Security Access' prevents unauthorized programming of vital functions in vehicles.


Some of the programming functions that use the Tech 2 are inaccessible without the enabling through TIS2Web. Some of the inaccessible programming functions that need 'Security Access' for their performance are:


•Programming of the immobilizer
•Programming of the transponder key
In order to perform these programming procedures it is necessary to get security access from TIS2Web

For the initial access a one time registration fee of 15,00 EUR will be applied for any new user account registration.

A handling fee of 3,90 % will be added for any purchased subscriptions.


* The access to Service Programming System and Security Access modules are subject to specific conditions for safety and security-related reasons. For more details see Chapter 6 of Terms & Conditions.
