Default Techstream

Has anyone tried using this?
Thinking of getting it but i have no idea which one to get and from where.


Thought it would be cool af to have dealer level diagnostic views.

Lots of members have used it for a plethora of different reasons. Just go to the toyota TIS site and make an account snd subscribe. Costs 60$ for 2 days of professional diagnostics which allows you to use techstream. The cheaper option doesnt allow you to use techstream.

I used it to program my credit card key.

Techstream is just software...so if you have a laptop or netbook, then you just need the cable and software.
The USB to OBDII cable can be found on eBay or Amazon.
I have a first gen Mongoose cable...which is old AF but works like a charm.
I think Techstream is up to version 14 now, if you're looking around from the software.
I use an Acer Aspire One netbook to run Techstream...with it's only use as a Techstream it works pretty good...but I'd get a laptop if I wanted to use the computer for other things.
