Opel and Vauxhall share the manufacturer's diagnostic application guidance. The appropriate system varies with the vehicle and its electronic architecture. The official Opel/Vauxhall diagnostic matrix lists the application, interface and configuration or programming method by model.
Tool families
- Tech 2 and Tech2Win: used for specified earlier models; Tech2Win emulates the handheld tool on a PC. Service Programming System (SPS) is identified for configuration and setup in the matrix.
- GDS2 with MDI, MDI 2 or Opel/Vauxhall VCI: the matrix lists this combination for a range of models, with SPS for configuration and setup.
- Opel/Vauxhall Diagbox: the matrix identifies this application for newer vehicles from Vivaro / Zafira Life (K0), with MDI 2 or Opel/Vauxhall VCI. Confirm the current vehicle entry before use.
Why the exact vehicle matters
The official matrix lists Meriva B before model year 14.5 with Tech2Win and from model year 14.5 with GDS2. Models do not all change tools at the same time, and the matrix also has individual model exceptions. Identify the model, model year and applicable interface rather than treating a single date as a universal changeover. Opel/Vauxhall matrix.

Earlier Tech 1
The earlier Tech 1 was also used by Opel/Vauxhall. The C20LET workshop manual lists a Tech 1, a Calibra 10-pin adapter and an Opel/Vauxhall-specific program module. Opel/Vauxhall C20LET workshop manual.
