The cable is about 4’ long, with translucent casing and “MINI-VCI J2534 Standard OBDII Communication Interface” sticker: The cable comes with a mini CD with drivers and Toyota Techstream software. MINI VCI cable for TOYOTA TIS Techstream. And completely uninstall any traces of previous attempts to download the software) Equipment Needed. Also, make sure your cd comes with the same version that is listed as mine 8.00.034. Download all of the files from this Dropbox link: (Even if you have the mini cd, and have the software already, you still need to download the ' mvci-圆4.reg' and ' TechstreamUpdateV8.10.021.exe' files from that link. The software works on any OS, but the drivers are the problem so instead they just have to be downloaded manually. I got stuck doing Google searches for about 2 hours trying to figure out if this could be done on a Windows 64-bit computer without the use of annoying Dual Boot or Virtual Machines on XP, and despite what most of these threads say, IT CAN BE DONE!
I know there are a few threads out there already on the subject, but they don't contain any useful guides on how to actually succeed in activating and using this software, it's mostly just download links. This may work for MVCI cable also, with the same software Techstream.This is for anyone that is currently trying to use Techstream software to change dealer settings on their BRZ/FRS with a MINI-VCI cable and software.
Also noticed that Win10 put in its own driver for the Techstream cable which seemed to work just fine with the program. Yesterday, I found some tested TIS on Win10 X64! Then tested this version on my wife’s Corolla using 32 bit Windows 10 just to see if it would work. There is no need to launch anything in XP compatibility or anything (at least not on my Windows 8.1 system) It defaults to metric, and it also defaults to absolute for the TPMS so at first you’ll be scratching your head at the 46psi tire pressure… set that one to “gauge” Now, you’ll want to set your preferences for units. The key thing is that only the “Europe” option works.įor the user and all other blank mandatory fields, I just typed in “111” and left the default “Albania” Upon loading, you’ll need to select “Europe” and then your preferred language. ini file needs to be edited to “activate” the program.
Once the driver was loaded and I verified with the firmware update utility that it was communicating (don’t try to update the firmware), I was ready to install and run Techstream.Īgain, follow the directions on installation. Mine downloaded as mvci-圆4.reg.txt (might be a Dropbox restriction), simply rename to mvci-圆4.regĪfter renaming the registry hack file you then need to run the file, which will merge the contents with the registry (will probably get a Windows modification confirmation) On my 8.1 installation, when I plugged in the TIS cable, Windows automatically looked for and installed the driver, so if you haven’t followed the instructions to that point, it will load the 32 bit driver.Īfter installing the driver, you need to run the registry hack. There are a number of steps to getting the driver installed manually, be sure to follow ALL of them before plugging the cable in.

The thread includes a dropbox link where you can download “all” of the needed files, but really all you need from there is the MVCI driver and the. No way!! But, only with Win 8 now.įound this last week, had a tried, and it worked wonderfully on my Asus Windows 8.1 Intel i3 notebook: My little daughter are always annoyed with that. Recently, wanted to shut off the passenger side seatbelt warning.
Especially download Windows XP system for Techstream interface (suggested by obdexpress technicians), just to shut off the DRL’S.
