Looking for a Tech II scanner
One
is from Aliexpress
The other from Obdii365.com
Compared the two...
The one on aliexpress didn't mention any designations such as -B,
-C etc. (or part number at all), so at that price it may likely be one of the
cheaper hardware versions, which steered me towards obdii365.
I asked a couple of the sites and they mention that the suffix
denotes the manufacturer, with 'B' being the best. (as opposed to the plain
SP23 or SP23-C)
SP23-B3 would be the version without the plastic case. For the most part, the model numbers seem to hold true for a bunch of the different vendors.
obdii365 also had this on the site to explain the differences, plus another vendor confirmed the info in an email request I sent out yesterday:
Tips Help you choose suitableTech II:
There are 5 configurations of Tech2 on our website, they are SP23-B3, SP23-B, SP23-C and SP23, SP23-1
All of them have the same function, their differences are :
SP23-B is the best Tech2 with Black Carry box, more stable
SP23-B3 is the SP23-B with carton box and best quality
SP23, SP23-C is the same as SP23-B, it also includes the Black carry box, but comes from another manufacture.
SP23-1 is the most cost effective one, it is with carton box, will help you save much more money.
In conclusion:
If you need the most professional Tech2 with best quality, please choose SP23-B ,because it has a black carry box.
If you need cheaper Tech2 with best quality, please choose SP23-B3

So, my decision:
I just ordered
one from obdii365.com to play around with.
It looks like the SP23-B is
supposed to be the better unit.
The one I ordered shows this software version: GM- English 33.004 1991- 2013

My buddy at the Chevy dealer says theirs is also at v.33.004
I didn't need the case, plus the one I ordered was the only one they had free shipping offered. In fact, Aliexpress or obdii365.com is not a matter. My main concern was getting the better of the units for a few bucks more. Some other sites have cheaper models that sound good, until you add the shipping. It's all pretty relative, sounds cheap 'til you add shipping, or looks higher priced but shipping 'included'
. Plus 365 had something
like a 30 day policy vs. the other one I looked at that only had 7 days.
