General Motors Global Electrical Architecture (Global A) and Global Diagnostic Hardware &Software 
Global Diagnostic System DGS& Mutiple diagnostic Interface MDI 

MDI and GDS Background: 
MDI is an interface between the vehicle DLC and a PC (by wired USB, wired Ethernet, wireless Ethernet ) and TIS2web. 
Can be Used for SPS programming on existing and future SGM vehicles 
Required for diagnostics on new SGM Global A Electrical Architecture Vehicles 
Used with TIS2Web, GM Global Diagnostics System (GDS), SPS and MDI Manager Software 
Allows for GDS diagnostic 
GM Multiple Diagnostic Interface (MDI) 
All current and most legacy vehicle protocols: UART, KW2000, CLASS2, GM LAN, etc. 
Needed for Global A architechture vehicles 
Supports Service Programming System (SPS) 
Pass through progrmming on past model and Global A vehicles 
Supports PC-Based diagnostics with rollout of the Global Diagnostic System (GDS) application 
Includes Flight Recorder Mode 

New Diagnostic Application Software Required for Global A Vehicles: 
Global Diagnostic System (GDS) 
PC-based software diagnsotics 
DTCs, Diagnostics, Data Display & Visualization, Device Controls, Special Tests, Flight Recorder management, etc. 
GDS is software which runs on a specific PC. Updates received via TIS2Web. 
Multiple display options. More space for diagnsotics. Session management for multiple us. 

Future of The Tech 2: 
The Tech 2 remains an essential tool through at least the 2010 model year. The GM MDI will not support past models when its diagnostic capabilities are introduced. And, the Tech2 will continue to be needed to diagnose all vehicles fromprevious model years. Remote programming with the Tech 2 will continue to be supported for use on all 2007 and previous vehicles.Additional information will be supplied in future. 

How will The MDI for GM Be Used? 
The new GM MDI can be used only in the Pass-Thru method. This means you can use it as your programming tool, while your Tech 2/CANDY remains available for diagnostics and other duties. 

The GM MDI is initially being introduced with Pass-Thru programming capabilities only. It can be used to perform Pass-Thru programming on all vehicles built since 1996 and will support all vehicles into the future. 

The GM MDI will be required to perform diagnostics on selected NAO vehicles for model year 2009. Diagnostic software is scheduled to be released for the GM MDI during the fourth quarter of 2008. Regulations require programming procedures to be compliant with SAE Recommended Practice J2534. 

The GM SPS is compliant with SAE Recommended Practice J2534, and the GM MDI is compliant with the portions of SAE J2534 that are applicable for GM vehicles. 

What Protocols Does The MDI for GM Support? 
For immediate use — At present, vehicles have two buses on the 16 pin connector (high speed and low speed GMLAN). The GM MDI communicates using all of the existing GM protocols, the same as the Tech 2: 
- UART 
- Class 2 
- KWP2000 
- GMLAN (CAN) 

Beginning with the 2008 model year vehicles, Pass-Thru will be the only programming method available. (Remote will continue to be available for previous vehicles) 

For GM MDI Package List: 
1pc x MDI Main unit 
1pc x OBD2 Cable 
1pc x USB Cable 
1pc x AC Adapter 
1pc x carry bag
