(Solution) Mini VCI + Toyota TIS Techstream 8.x on Windows 7/8 64-bit.
5 Attachment(s)
Hello, everyone!
Recently I‘ve got myself the MINI VCI cable to play with. As it turned out, with little manual tweaking it is possible, contrary to the popular belief, to get it working under Windows 64-bit. So, I decided to share the instructions, which hopefully will save someone a headache of dealing with dual boot and virtual machines with Windows XP :). Equipment:
The content of bundled mini-CD: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/attach...1&d=1379402148 The Techstream, MVCI drivers and TIS Key all can be found on the Internet as well. Steps:
The built-in Techstream cable diagnostics shows: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/attach...1&d=1379406655 So far, I tested the cable with 2013 4Runner, 2004 Sienna and 1997 Camry LE/4cyl, and it seems to work fine with all of them. Absence of (L) line connection means no support for ECU re-flashing (which is not something I'm comfortable doing myself anyway). Option customization/clearing DTC is possible (already verified). Overall, not bad for a $30 gadget, in my opinion. Good luck! Alex. |
How much time to wait?
Just bought the device. Installed software on my win XP netbook. Connected the cable to the DLC3 connector of my vehicle. Pressed "Connect" button. Nothing happened for 5 minutes. Should I wait any longer?

Alex you ROCK!!!
I too bought the adapter from Amazon for $27 with the intention of either running a VM with XP or a dual-boot with Win7-32 bit in order to utilize the adapter and Techstream. That was until I found your post, followed your directions and VOILA!! Everything works as you described. There was a few hickups with the driver update since I tried to install it before without the registry hack and got stuck with a non-working driver for the USB port but I forced it to use the driver using your method and I got thru it. Beautiful. I ran a health check on my wife's 2007 RX400h and everything checks out. COOL!
Thanks again, you the man! |
Great instruction Alex, Thanks. I may have a slightly different version, most things look the same as above but not everything.
I am having some trouble with step 4d, I don't see any failing devices. When I plug and unplug the MVCI cable I can see a USB device come and go, so it must be the cable. I try to install the new driver, but it says the correct driver is already installed. It try it again, same thing, Ok, maybe it is, so I move on. The firmware update tool works, and I can see the cable, so it must be good. Now #6, Registry hack. In my version, under Pass Thru Support.04.04. I have only "DENSO CORPORATION - TIS Techstream VIM" The contents look different: Key Name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PassThruSu pport.04.04\DENSO CORPORATION - TIS Techstream VIM Class Name: <NO CLASS> Last Write Time: 12/23/2013 - 11:00 AM Value 0 Name: Vendor Type: REG_SZ Data: DENSO CORPORATION Value 1 Name: Name Type: REG_SZ Data: TIS Techstream VIM Value 2 Name: ConfigApplication Type: REG_SZ Data: Value 3 Name: FunctionLibrary Type: REG_SZ Data: C:\Program Files (x86)\Toyota Diagnostics\Techstream\Bin\ComTol32.dll Value 4 Name: CAN Type: REG_DWORD Data: 0x1 Value 5 Name: ISO15765 Type: REG_DWORD Data: 0x1 Value 6 Name: J1850PWM Type: REG_DWORD Data: 0x1 Value 7 Name: J1850VPW Type: REG_DWORD Data: 0x1 Value 8 Name: ISO9141 Type: REG_DWORD Data: 0x1 Value 9 Name: ISO14230 Type: REG_DWORD Data: 0x1 Value 10 Name: SCI_A_ENGINE Type: REG_DWORD Data: 0 Value 11 Name: SCI_A_TRANS Type: REG_DWORD Data: 0 Value 12 Name: SCI_B_ENGINE Type: REG_DWORD Data: 0 Value 13 Name: SCI_B_TRANS Type: REG_DWORD Data: 0 So what do I do? I haven't tried to connect to the car yet Thanks |

Thanks for the write-up! Got my tech-ie friend to come by and set it up on my 64bit win7 computer. took about an hour.
Thanks again! |
Thanks for the guide I migrated my techstream VM from XP to Windows 7 this weekend.
I have a BRZ and the techstream platform is pretty new to most of us. As far as i know none of us have been able to program TPMS id's with one of the cheap cables. Do you know if the L line is needed for this function? |
great write up!
I ordered this one and it works great on my old Windows Vista computer. Amazon.com : Fotga Newest V8.00.034 MINI VCI for TOYOTA TIS Techstream Diagnostic Cable & Software : Toyota Mongoose Cable : Car Electronics |

Thanks for all info. It worked very well, but then I did the upgrade to 147 firmware and now is dead. I can find it with firmware tool, it looks ok, but in the car it gives me nothing. So don`t try to update firmware for mini-vci.
PS: I had all lines green (K), only L red, so a lot of information from the engine. |
Hello everyone, I read here about how to make it work on 64bit, not sure if it helps now but when I ordered mine on ebay some time ago it was from a romanian seller and it has a custom installer: http://imageshack.com/a/img909/5495/724783.jpg
mine works on 64 bit without having to do anything, until now I tested it on win7 64 bit and 32bit and works great. |
