That is also where I got mine - the full one from Chinacardiags. I think I may be who referred bronx and a couple of others here to get them from there since I got mine from there and confirmed that it works great and the company is trustworthy to buy from.
The catch with the newer GDS2 type is you still have to have a laptop and Tech2Win software and/or pay for a subscription from ACDelco Tech Connect to actually be able to use the GDS2 type of device while the traditional old style full Tech2 is fully independent for all diagnostics and testing functions. For flashing and software updates you can either pay for a short term subscription or get a copy of TIS2000 running on a computer to connect the Tech2 to (what I did).

as MixManSC suggests the VXDIAG VCX Nano GDS2 you are looking at needs a laptop so that is an added cost to the $159 if you do not have one.

Ocean moreso than I but yes, a Tech2 is actually the ONLY tool I am aware of that can directly communicate with the air suspension module. The Tech2 can read and clear codes from the module, re-calibrate it, do tests like deflate, inflate, etc.

Back to the OP, many are having problems with the VXDIAG VCX Nano GDS2, you will need to use with your laptop which can compromise your personal information on that laptop. Avoid
