Default I'm b-a-a-a-c-k...Techstream anyone?

Just thought I'd pop in for a quickie and share something kewell I found.

I did trade the LS in on a new Highlander.

Anyway while mousing around on their website I found another website that shows how to build up your own Techstream for Toyota products.

Checkout:

I got it running on an old XP-based laptop...finally.

Ciao

Those are probably the 'kit' with earlier software and the smart cable between the laptop and OBD2 .

The software on the URL I provided just came out in February...and it's a free download.

Nope, for Techstream you need a J2534 cable (via USB) and a Windows XP computer.

For an alternative that uses an ELM327 device, check my signature

And the kit works perfectly and comes with the cable. Now if the cable can be had for less than $25 along with a free download....even better
