Thumbs up Help pay for your TechStream

Figured I would give this a shot. Any member out there that lives within 100+/- miles of Hickory, NC and uses Techstream on their SC430 want to make a quick Benjaman? All I need is the new TPMS sensors logged into my car, I will bring to you. A little for you and a little less for me. Thanks, Jimmy 828-234-0424

hope someone helps you out.

I have the program on order and am sourcing a older win7 32 bit. My computer skills are middle of the road so not sure I can handle the load & connection after some of the horror stories I have read. Might have to pick yo brain? Jimmy

This is how to make a cheap cable work: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/printthread.php?t=73034

Very easy once you find the right source to follow (this one). As far as I can see, any cheap cable from sites like Amazon or Aliexpress work. The latter is probably where the A ones come from.

I mean they work on any laptop running 64bit Windows.

Default Thanks for the informed reply

I currently have a Win 7, 32 bit that I was going to dedicate to this project. You don't happen to have a link like this for a 32 bit do you? Here is what I will be getting.

Mini VCI J2534 Cable,OBD2 Cable Connector Scanner Adapter Fit for Toyo ta TIS Techstream V14 V15, Programming Diagnostic Cable, OBD II Adapter Connector Cable Scan Tool, Support Win XP/ WIN7 WIN10

Looks like it's version 15.00.028. Thanks for any info you can provide.

You will be fine with Win 7. The installation is strath forward. The only concern is getting the good copy of the software. I don’t know anything about Ver 15, but I know Ver 12 is good for the SC. It’s available for download from couple internet sites. Just do Google search for it. Cable firmware Ver 1.41 will have some problem with 06+ SC. Get Ver 2.04 if you have a pre 06 SC.

There has been a lot of discussions on the cable and Techstream versions BUT you never know for sure exactly what you are getting. In my case I bought a "1.4.1" cable off eBay that included a disk with v12, v13, v14. The cable firmware installed as 1.4.6 and none of the included Techstream versions either installed correctly on my Win7 computer or connected to my '06 (or '15 RX350) if they did install. That same 1.4.6 cable worked fine with that computer when I installed v15.00.026 (on both vehicles).
