Bought this on Ebay. Got it running on a old Acer Aspire One. You know the mini laptops. I was not using it and put Windows 10 32bit.

I installed TIS followed all the notes. Its Version 13.00.022

I am not sure seems like some options are missing. Anyone else running this version??

I reinstalled it on a regular laptop. Will try it again. What i don’t see after you connect to your vehicle is the options to do a health check or customize settings.

I had to revert to an older version to get the health check option.

It showed up after i put it on a regular laptop. I am guessing the screen size made the difference.

Big warning here. When I started on my Techstream journey, I started on a HP Netbook with a SSD to get a little performance out of a worthless min-laptop. With Windows 7, it cut off things from the bottom of the screen and could not click on it. It was a tab around then enter thing.

Get a full laptop... I even have one of those Dells that was on the first posts... works perfect, drop a cheap SSD to get performance on it.

BTW Techstream 13.00.022 was released on 2/2018 so it's a fairly newer one.

It's available here..

I wonder if you can run 2 versions on one machine. I like the health check option but, V12 offers a lot more features in it's layout.

For those who are wondering. The $15-50 cable and pirated software, vs the $2000 laptop kit the difference. That cable that you connect to your car is what is different. There is a lot of limits You cant program the car with this cable (update firmware/Calibration), etc

You can buy a cable that is around $500 and get a sub to Techstream called "Techstream lite." It's like $15 for 2 days, or like $55 for a week, so reasonable priced. This SHOULD allow you to update firmware and other software related fixes for your car.
