(Solution) Mini VCI + Toyota TIS Techstream 8.x on Windows 7/8 64-bit.

If things go south after the upgrade, you can blow away your old TechStream install and upgrade via the link I posted. It is specifically built for 64 bit Windows 10.

The biggest problem I had was with Norton protecting me and blocking a couple of the files. I ran a full scan after the install was complete and it came back clean. Seems to be mostly the "Reputation Score" that is scaring Norton as the files were just created.
 
I am also having problems with connecting to VIM

when I connect VIM, it just said "connect error"

what should I do

6) When you click "Connect to Vehicle", it pops up a window about "Register Techstream Software) and it asks for a new key, click "Cancle". Go to open the folder "Toyota techstream 10.30.029", open text document "Serie" and copy the key number in it, and paste it into the blank key after "New key" and click ok, register successfully.

Techstream problem!

Reason for failure

For those of you who have commented on successfully seeing the connector work via the firmware update tool, but not able to connect using the Techstream software, I think I know why.

The information that is copied to the registry gives very specific locations for the Xhorse drivers. Make sure that the directories you create are in EXACTLY the same location specified in the instructions, and with the exact same spelling and wording as listed. Not sure if capitalization matters or not, but to be safe I'd even make sure that is followed.

I was having the same problems others had noted. I was getting a connection error message within Techstream. I looked at the registry info and saw it was all there, but I also noticed that the file locations were called out there as well. I double checked my folder names, and sure enough I had a typo in one of my folder names. I fixed it and was then able to connect to the car.

One other thing to note. There is something about the MVCI Driver files that my anti virus doesn't like. It kept deleting it. I had to add it to my exceptions list to make sure it remained intact. If that gets deleted, your Techstream won't be able to connect.

Hope this helps.
 
I just successfully got this working on my Tacoma with a Windows 10 laptop. I'm not amazing with computers and the first attempt left me with the "unable to connect to VIM" error

I ended up downloading 64bit drivers from the first post in this thread: Offical TechStream software thread( settings and such) - TundraTalk.net - Toyota Tundra Discussion Forum.

Once I extracted the file in winrar there was a text document with pretty clear instructions. I followed them step by step and it worked great. I downloaded the techstream from the same post but its is an older version 9.xx if I remember correctly. It recognized my 2011 tho so thats fine with me.

EDIT: Also I couldn't get the firmware update tool to open up so I just skipped that step.

Thanks for posting this, I bought a Mini VCI with TIS off of amazon not too long ago and got the same error. I honestly figured it was because I had no idea how to set stuff up in windows. I'll have another go at it using your suggestions.

Good luck. There aren't really any customizable options for the 2nd gen Taco but it still displays a ton of engine parameters, SRS fault codes and will allow me to program my tpms sensors when switching between summer and winter tires.
 
wireless keyfob registration with Techstream

Hello,

I am new to this forum as I just purchased a 1999 4runner Limited. The original owner gave me one wireless keyfob and indicated that it had stopped working some time ago. After replacing the battery and verifying that it did not work; I started looking online for ways to reprogram it. I've tried all the procedures that are currently listed online for getting the 4runner into programming mode. However, none of these work! I can't get the 4runner to go into programming mode.

I came across several postings where people indicated that they were able to program wireless keyfobs with the Techstream software. So I went ahead and purchased a cable from Amazon. It came with the Toyota Techstream software, version 10.10.018. I've gotten the software and cable working and I am able to communicate with my 4runner. The problem that I am having is that the wireless key registration isn't showing up in the Techstream software. It is my understanding that it should be under the "main body" option, but I don't see that option when I run Techstream. The only options I get are "engine and ECT", "SRS Airbag" and "Immobiliser".

My question is...does anyone know why the "main body" option is not showing up in my Techstream?

On a side note, I did successfully program two additional Master keys with the Immobiliser option. So I know the software is working.

Any help you could provide would be appreciated! I am trying to avoid going to the dealer to have them rip me off to program a keyfob.

Thanks!

Hi, can anyone upload or provide a link for the Xhorse Firmware update tool? Or any version of the firmware update tool. I would like to check that the cable functions and what firmware version is on the cable.

Thanks
