Techstream
Hi Everyone.
Proud owner of a 2014 LS 460 with 35K miles - near perfect and fully loaded. I thought my LS 430 was nice - thsi is amazing and a pleasure to drive. The dealer had only 1 key so I need to use Techstream and find another key fob and add that one. Where is everyone getting Techstream and the required cable to interface into the LS 460?
Thanks

There should a link available somewhere on this forum, please, use search. A $20 interface cable should allow you to add a key. If a key is virgin or was reset to virgin (in case of an used key), it is very simple to add a key with Techstream. If a key was not reset to virgin, you will need a seed generator or a very specific subsription for Techstream to add such a key. I have tried both ways, and the first way is by far easier.

I used a $40 xhorse vci clone, none of the drivers would play ball with it, I gave up and used autokent's driver and even though I though it would be either a virus or not work properly, his driver has been rock solid with any copy of techstream off rutracker.

I have the same question.......I have a 2005 SC430 and would like info on what Techstream to purchase, where to purchase, etc. I read here that there are various versions of the cable and software and some are to be avoided.
Here's an article that explains Techstream. You can buy/activate different subscription periods. https://www.obdadvisor.com/toyota-techstream/ As the article states (like any software) be careful where you download it from. If you want to buy stolen/pirated versions and activation codes, you're committing a crime.
