Has to be plugged into the car and the pc at the same time.

You need something like opelscan??

Not 100% sure as never used one, just going from memory from other posts :)

Ah yes, the cheapo Tech2...

It sort of works most of the time, and will easily make back its purchase price.  The software, however, is awful.

I tested one a couple of years back, and it mostly works....
