it is a tool for Toyota technicians to examine DTCs, monitor sensors and systems, reset the MIL-all of which can be done with any higher end scantool, or any ELM 327 based blue tooth ODBCII reader and a suitable phone app (like Torque Pro). It does not do things like reset tire sizes to correct the speedometer alter idle or tip-in rpm, shift points or any of that good stuff. It appears to allow flashing of new ECU firmware however does not have the capability (that I could find) of downloading the firmware so that it might be altered and reloaded (all things I could do on my Mustang with a system from Delta Force Tuning).

You can use it to program new/different TPMS sensors and set the pressure ranges, but it will not disable the whole damned thing. Many of these can be customized using various combinations of keyless remote, in car buttons, ignition key manipulations, etc. It allows things like disabling some inconsequential warning things like the seat belt chime (the warning light stays on), setting timeout values for interior lights, volume level of the key chime, etc. I had hoped it would be more of the latter. That's it for now, I will play with it a bit more tomorrow.Ĭlick to expand.I have found that the TechStream system to be much more a diagnostic and what I'll call "user customization" tweaking tool than an a tuning tool. Unfortunately, and though I was able to connect to the TPMS controller there does not seem to be such a flag-poop.

I don t know how many times it will do this we'll see.īTW the interface cable seems to work fine though I have not yet used it to program anything, one of my main interests was to see if there was any accessible TPMS OFF setting.
TECHSTREAM V10.30.29 SOFTWARE
So having blown 6 of the "30", 24 left, I decided to reboot the netbook and as I had not thought it through it reconnected the wi-fi which of course caused Techstream to go into its ".obsolete must be updated" song and dance īut with an image of my $17 swirling in the drain I once again dropped the wi-fi connection and relaunched Techstream, and attempted to again connect to the truck-guess what? It loaded up and connected to the truck fine telling me that I had just 29 sessions left.īottom line: It appears the software resets the limit counter each time the phone home function fails. However this caused the software to advise, each time I connected to my '09 Taco, that I had just "29 of 30", "28 of 30".

The "obsolete" message could be eliminated by dropping the network connection, Techstream would connect to the truck Spoofing the system date did not work as there is some "phone home" function if the software ĭoing so launched IE and connected to the real Techsteam site, where of course real credentials were needed to update-not having those I experimented a bit and found that:
TECHSTREAM V10.30.29 REGISTRATION
The installation (Win 7 Pro on an Acer Aspire netbook) went as described in the vendor's docs (you have to overwrite the original MainMenu.exe with a hacked version and use a provided registration code) however when firing it all up and connecting to the truck I got a dialog advising that the "10.30.029 software was obsolete as of September 16, 2016" and "MUST be updated"-with just one active button.
TECHSTREAM V10.30.29 FREE
I bought from eBay-for a whopping $16.95 with free shipping-a mini-VCI interface cable (1.4.x firmware) that included a hacked version of the Techstream 10.30.029 software.
