Question Techstream?

Hey guys
Was wondering if anyone here got Techstream who lives around New Mexico/Texas?
Just want to get my DRLs off since RB Toyota here in Clovis, NM and Alderson Lexus at Lubbock, TX wont do it for me.
I'd get Techstream myself but I dont have the required Windows XP.
If anyone can do it for me I'll just pay you or grab you lunch or something.
Or recommend me to a dealer that can do it would be good too.

I can do it, but I am close to Albuquerque. If you are around central NM any time let me know.

It works fine on Windows 10. Just follow the procedure here from this awesome review on Amazon. Super easy to use.

Albuquerque is only 3 hours drive from me so I might come down there this weekend if you're not busy?

Wow I didn't know that. I've been searching through the forums for like a week and all I saw was you could only run it in Windows XP.
Thanks for letting me know. Will definitely be handy in the future.
Thanks for the link too

Let me know if you do. It will only take a few minutes.

No problem. It's honestly worth the few bucks to buy the cable and run the software yourself since you can change whatever settings you want whenever you want.

For example, it allows you to change a setting (like light sensitivity) and drive around a few days and tweak it if you want.
