I've definitely seen his name in the threads as well! Thanks for the shout out.
Was looking at getting v 12.10.019 (i think that's right) with the VXDIAG NANO non wifi on a 32 bit Windows 10 laptop. Seems to have most functions I would need for roughly $150 CAD including the laptop.

Pervious car owner sent a version of his techstream that he used on 64 bit, wondering if it's a newer version with less features though.


Thanks again for everyone's feedback.

 

I used to have an old WinXP 32bit laptop until i saw this video, now it runs on a newer Win11 64bit machine.
its super easy to install and i believe its v12 or it could be a newer version.

 

If you have a windows PC that already has windows 10, I think you can change the 64 standard version with a 32 bit version for free.

Since they stopped supporting Windows 10, I don't know if this link will still work

But once you install it, you should be able to use the license code that is already on your computer

In case you were wondering, a 32 bit version of windows can only use one processor core. So your Quad Core I7 will still work, it just won't work as fast.

If you do it BGW's way, you can still run your computer at it's full potential

 

Loaded a bootable USB using Windows Media Creation Tool and updating BIOS boot order, but everytime, would reinstall Win 10 64 bit.
As BGW stated though, 32 should be needed only for cable firmware, where I plan on using VXDIAG VCX NANO. Seems this should work with 64.
Ended up going with Virtual Box for a 32 VM, and another VM for 64. Will be trying with V12, V17, and V18 TechStream on each and reporting back for future users.
in the meantime, was able to really dial in the ride height with the height sensors alone. Will upload pics soon with new "stance" (i wouldnt quite call my small adjustments stance, but you know.. XD).
Still plan on customizing creature comforts with TS + diagnostics and confirming no missing keys are still programmed. Will come back with results of each version on each VM and the features available.
Thanks again to everyone for the feedback, suggestions, and support.

 

So,

I had TechStream all set up on a laptop that I had installed 32bit Win10 on. Unfortunately, I forgot the password.....

I'm in the process of de-Microsoft-ing myself, so I thought I would try something different.

I installed Elementary OS on the laptop, and then the Linux version of VirtualBox.

I downloaded the OVA file from the link in the video and opened that in VirtualBox.

In watching the video he makes a comment after running the driver update that if it doesn't auto populate then "seek a higher power"...

Well mine didn't. A bit of digging indicates that you have to tell VirtualBox to use the specific USB device (it's one of the little icons in the lower right hand corner)

Once done, everything was copacetic.

I fired up TechStream, it connected, but wouldn't grab data. I had to futz around and tell it to commence communication (I couldn't tell you how, it isn't the most user friendly piece of software in the world).

The goal was to turn off the TPMS indication on the dash. By clearing the DTMs (?) the light went away.

I know the battery in #4 is dead, and the senders will all get changed next year when I get new tires.

For now though, I don't have to look at the indicator. And it won't be a discussion when I get to go get an inspection later in the month.

Thanks to all involved.

It takes a village to maintain a 15+ year old car....

 

So,

I've got a dead TPMS sender, with the obligatory indication on the dash on my '07.

The challenge was how to turn off that sensor as was indicated in this thread.

I tried just deleting the sensor, data, etc from the show data screen for the senders. That just gave me a brief respite from the issue.

I went back to the show data screen and recorded the id numbers for all the sensors, including the dead one.

Going to the configuration process, I entered the numbers in for the working sensors and then entered 000000 for the dead one.

This seems to have eliminated the problem. I'll let y'all know if it reoccurs.

Cheers

 

Well,

That didn't work. The TPMS indicator lit yesterday while LOML and I were driving around.

Plugging in TS indicates it still has 0000O registered for sensor ID4, but no data, obviously.

I cleared the DTC's and it went away, but it will return.

I've been through all the nooks and crannies of TS. There is nothing obvious where I can disable a sensor.

I would have sworn I saw a thread here where someone had done that, but for the life of me I can't find it.

C'est la vie.....

 

On the 06+ SC, you can not disable the TPMS light by unplugging the wires.

Yeah,

I knew that.

Nothing is unplugged.

​​​​​​I'll just have to live with it until I get the tires replaced in the spring.

I did change the trunk unlock from a long press on the remote to two short presses. I like that better.

Cheers

 

First down load FlashMagic.exe install file as below link:

https://www.flashmagictool.com/downl...FlashMagic.exe



The only HEX file I can found on WWW for MVCI was firmware 1.4.1 as below link:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CN7...ew?usp=sharing



Is thereyou guys who has china cloned MVCI device with firmware 2.0.4 who can use following steps to read and dump the 2.04 firmware to HEX file and share it on this post to those who bricked their china cloned MVCI device, and they want to restore the 2.04 firmware to fix their MVCI but can’t found it on WWW, thank you.



STEP 1: Down load and Install FlashMagic.exe to your computer.

STEP 2: Connect the MVCI device to an USB port.

STEP 3: Open FlashMagic, tap Change device to LPC2000/UART/LPC2119 in Device:

STEP 4: Select Serial Port: as your MVCI USB virtual COM# is. (COM3 ~ 9)

STEP 5: Select Baudrate: 38400 are just perfect.

STEP 6: Tap ISP/Read/Export Memory/Use specific address range.

STEP 7: Tap the button on the right/down corner, just on the top of [Close] button to start the HEX file dumping process, the button almost can’t be seen, that’s why the MVCI firmware 2.0.4 HEX file is lacking on the WWW, I think it’s a bug of FlashMagic.

STEP 8: Share and post the MVCI firmware 2.0.4 HEX file as you can, appreciate.

FlashMagic Export Memory to HEX file screen shoot is as below:

Tap grey line button under the arrow to dump HEX file

 

I have successfully loaded Techstream onto a HP laptop with Win 10 and Techstream has been working flawlessly for a few years now.

Does anyone know if I might or will lose my Techstream install or functionality when I update to Win 11?

Thanks Much !!

David

 

You should not lose anything upgrading to W11 from W10. Make sure your computer can handle W11 or use Rufus to install W11.

 

Hi everyone I have had days of trouble, I'm am not the most tech savvy to start with, though I'm trying to learn. But I have followed all the instructions on getting techstream in 5 minutes. However this only works for the north American region TIS Techstream, and the diesel line of Toyota Hilux and Land cruiser Prados were not sold there. I need to code in injectors on a 1kd-FTV, can anyone please help on how I can get techstream working for another region other than north America, thank you.

What happen when I try is I get the this licensing has expired error page.

Help is really appreciated.

 

what year and model are you working on?

 

Hello guys, this is Kamran, those that are messaging me ih8mud for Techstream V18 download link. Here is the link to download new version of techstream from https://mega.nz/file/X15gxTxI#zQEMGw...lAO5nPzbKXTyPA . The file size is 259 MB. It has no virus, clean executable file. But I still won't suggest using a computer that you guys use for online banking. Thanks!
