Toyota Techstream for ALL Windows | How to Install and get it WORKING Everytime | Landcruiser 200

[@kolkasur]

For anyone who encounters “licence expired” issue do this. 1. Don’t follow set up where he changes region, leave it as it is. 2. Replace MainMenu.exe file in the install directory on C: with the one in extras folder on desktop. This will set the program expiration date for 3000 days. Changing region will render #2 invalid.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Good tip, I’ll pin it😎👍

[@Sepulkrum]

excellent tutorial. Before seeing this comment I changed the date back to August 2021 on the Laptop and it worked

[@JafffaAdventures]

Awesome feedback, thanks for sharing 👍😎

[@deficator750]

do i need to reinstall everything. I got up to part where it asks for license key and it says expired. i did however change the region from Afghan to New Zealand?? thanks for the help to everyone.

[@deficator750]

also can you explain where the mainmenu.exe file is in C:? and once this is done do i still put in the registration key? thanks

[@keithdavis8159]

Dude! your a ROCKSTAR! I have been searching all over the internet only hitting roadblocks for how to install the software and link my Mini-VCI cable. Your post is the ONLY one after 3 hours of hunting that is thorough and user friendly. Thank you again mate!

You are the best. I was stuck when I performed the air bleeding. I tried many times, but still failed. Until I used your system, I passed it finally. You save my car. Thank you.

[@JafffaAdventures]

That’s great news mate, thanks for sharing👍😎

[@litesp]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I've wasted many hours trying other methods that you described to connect with a Win10 machine. Running under a virtual WinXP environment worked perfectly. The XP image loaded up with necessary software already installed. I just needed to plug in the cable and run Techstream.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Good stuff mate, I’m glad it has worked well for you like it has for others. Now Windows 10 can update all it wants and you will still have a working Techstream in you 32 bit virtual box. Go well mate😎👍

[@reecewilliams9690]

I had such a hard time trying to figure out how to get this to run with windows 10. You helped me a lot on this and allowed me to turn off my DRL lights that I needed to do since they were flickering. Also allowed me to turn on a few features i didn't know I had. Thank you for posting this.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Good stuff Reece, I’m glad it’s worked for you. Really cool😎👍

[@gtibruce]

@@JafffaAdventures Hi, Terry hope you can help me. here. My car is a Toyota Yaris I have a windows 8.1 32 bit system but i think i deleted the x86 program files on it by mistake in the past is that necassary? because on another y tube demo for a different tool for Toyota the complicted procedure showed these files being used or does Virtual Box over come any problems like that? If not would buying a new windows 8.1 download again fix this? any usful information would be good thanks

[@JafffaAdventures]

@gtibruce sorry mate, I’d love to help but it’s very difficult given I have not experienced the issue you describe. If it were me, I’d go with a fresh install of Windows and then download and execute as per my video. Good luck mate. Cheers👍😎

[@gtibruce]

@@JafffaAdventures Hi just come across this question and answer from a tech forum reply and so as i read it seems i can save an new windows install and try your instructions when i get round to buying the tool. Perhaps thats why when you say a 32 bit system works best is because these program files are installed on 32 bit system by default Hope i can get back to you if i get stuck! here is the answer. Therefore you are running a 32 bit version of the Windows operating system. In essence, you don't need to install the program files (x86) folder, as your operating system is already equipped to run 32 bit applications. Your program files folder won't say program files (x86) because this is a folder installed on 64 bit operating systems only Therefore, your program files folder should only read program files.

[@JafffaAdventures]

@gtibruce good to know mate, good luck with your solution, seem like you are on the right track👍😎

[@Dee_Kay1984]

Brilliant me man! I finally got it. Like some others if you have issues getting the virtual interface to open Windows XP and yours keeps aborting try this: Turn off your laptop and when you reboot, press the hotkey (this may be specific to your brand of laptop so google "your brand + hotkey) . Its probably F10 on your keyboard, again press that hotkey at reboot screen. That will take you to your BIOS SCREEN. Here you need to go to either the tab called 'ADVANCED' or 'CONFIGURATION'. You need to 'ENABLE' the ' VISULISATION TECHNOLOGY' , save settings and restart laptop. This will allow the virtual screen to run windows XP.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Great feedback and awesome clear instructions, thanks for sharing your success so others can learn as well. Cheers😎👍

[@Tulkien]

Yessss! Im gonna try this because the virtual box wrote the same. Either in bios or elsewhere I have to enable something like that! Im gonna redo the whole again! Thanks!

[@JafffaAdventures]

Good luck mate👍😎

[@RandomPandaX78]

I also had to do this process. On a HP, spam Esc key, then F10 and cycle across the top menus to enable the visualisation. Worked perfectly after that.

[@JafffaAdventures]

@RandomPandaX78 good stuff mate, thanks for sharing👍😎

[@robcs871]

Well, I don't know how to start, you are the best men on KZbin, follow every step you show on video and can TURN OFF MY DRL, you don't know how much I hate that. I contact a dealer and want to charge me $100 just for go under the car computer and turn off that feature. With this video, just take me 5 minutes to connect to the car and turn off. Thanks you so much from the other side of the word, Puerto Rico.

[@JafffaAdventures]

That’s awesome Robert, I’m so glad you found value here mate. Well done👍😎

[@Pau1ywog5]

Your current setup seems slow because the default for this VM setup has got dinosaur parameters. Go to Settings->System->"Motherboard" & "Processor" tabs. Slide them as far right into the Green as possible. If you're running an older computer, you might want to cap your Base Memory at 4096MB (4GB). However, you can theoretically go higher, as long it's its not a large percentage of your actual machine's RAM. Assuming you have at least 16GB of RAM, you could probably safely use half of this, or 8GB. Do the same for "Display"->"Screen"->"Video Memory". If you notice your actual computer slowing down drastically while using VirtualBox, backoff on the RAM. Try to keep it to a power of 2 (eg. 2^12 = 4098).

[@JafffaAdventures]

Great feedback Paul, thank you. I’ll give this a try. It’s not OTT slow, but if I can speed it up a little that will be beneficial. Thanks again 👍😎

[@gtibruce]

Hi, in my toyota handbook it says you should not keep the ignition on for more than 10 minutes meaning without any special intervention like this so once you connect the tecstream device can you just turn the ignition key to auxillary or does the ignition have to be fully on and if so then does the device compensate for this or at least keep the vechicle running so the coil system does not overheat

[@JafffaAdventures]

@gtibruce I have a diesel so there is not coil to overheat in this application. The vehicle either needs to be running or in the on position, switching it to accessory shuts the power down to the OBDII port. Cheers👍😎

Thank you so much for making this video it is awesome. I spent weeks going through various forums for my RAV4 which was a complete waste of time. I even (perhaps stupidly) paid $29 just to join one of the forums where the admin was so arrogant about being emailed for exact instructions. They gave me a serial number for the registration that I used then realised I had installed VB with 64-bit Windows 7 which did not work. I asked for another key for Techstream that I had now downloaded to VB with 32-bit Windows 7 and was told to go back to the forum. Totally unhelpful........ Then I came across your brilliant video. So simple to follow and with all the info right there for FREE! Well, I couldn't have been more delighted. It's just gone midnight here in Ireland so I haven't had a chance to try this out (it's dark), but I am sure it is going to be a success.

Having trouble running it in virtual box in late 2023? I found the new version of virtual box, 7.0+, would "abort" booting XP on the windows logo screen and trying it again would show the "windows shutdown unexpectedly" black screen. I could boot into safe mode from that screen and run techstream, but safe mode has a tiny display and is difficult to use. I tried a lot of troubleshooting but could not get it working normally. After uninstalling everything and downloading the old 6.1 version in the video, bam, it worked normally and the display was back to a usable size and techstream worked. Be aware that the Virtual Box website said it won't be supporting 6.1 after December 2023. Thank you for the video, by the way!

Another happy user. Loading Virtual Box was fine. I did have to play with the display parameters to make it look right on my MS Surface laptop.

It surprises me that they key as expired as there is no time limit on it. The only thing I can suggest is reviewing the video and following it exactly, step by step. If that does not work, I don’t have an answer. Cheers

How do I access the hyperdrive? 😂 thanks Terry, really helpful tutorial. Have subscribed to your channel as your no nonsense approach is superb.

[@JafffaAdventures]

That's awesome mate, thanks for the kind words. I trust you will find some value in your stay. Cheers!

[@SiyamandRashid]

Thanks again i have another question plz: when u connect to the vehicle some fields will auto populate like model and others u have to choose manually how you confirm you have chosen the right one? For example iahve Lc200 GRJ vehicle spec Lc200, the last drop down is like other 0708-0808 ,0808-1008,1008-1208 etc what is this option?

[@JafffaAdventures]

Marvelous many thanks! I wonder how to install newer version or normal windows version in virtual box, and how TS can do fuel analysis or show fuel/air ratio, and other functions like program key, do TMPS. etc.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Glad I could help out Jo. Go well mate 👍😎

[@jstew1955]

Well, I wish that I could say that this worked. I bought the mini vci cable (2 actually) and downloded the provided links. What I get is the lost communication error as I proceed with my brake bleed. I little bit of research tells me that these cheap Chinese cables don't work very well or at all. If they did, people would not be spending $80-$200 for dongles that do work. It has been a frustrating experience to say the least.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Yep, sound’s frustrating. My cheap Chinese cable has been working perfectly for over 5 years now and I use it extensively so my experience does not mirror yours. Reading the comments, many others have had success so it’s a pity it has not worked for you as it has for them. Good luck finding a solution, and let the community know how you get on👍😎

[@MsCh1mp]

Hi Mate. Where did you get the registry key? Thanks

[@JafffaAdventures]

It’s detailed in the video, along with how to input it into Techstream. Cheers👍

[@gregwhittingham1909]

I'm going to dig out a old laptop and put XP on it just for simplicity. Great info Terry and info I'll be sure to use in the future

[@JafffaAdventures]

That is a simple way to do it mate, that's for sure. I trust is works for you and you get the full benefit of Techstream as it opens up a new world of diagnostic possibilities. Cheers!

[@JafffaAdventures]

Not sure I understand the question Tom. Executable files are all included in downloads and instructions I provided. Good luck mate👍

[@JafffaAdventures]

I suspect so Tom but I did not specifically look because it worked for me so assumed executable files had to be there for this to occur. If you followed the instructions to the letter then I don’t see why it would not work as it has for many others. Good luck regardless mate.😎👍

[@JafffaAdventures]

Great stuff Tom, enjoy the world of diagnostics 😉😎

[@Bill-gc9bt]

Excellent video. The hardest part for me was understanding the virtual box stuff, but I think I've got it now. There are so many different types of the mini VCI cable on Amazon, and I don't know which one to choose. Can you provide a link to the correct version? I have an older Lexus ES350, if that matters.

[@JafffaAdventures]

It's pretty straight forward if you follow the video instructions exactly. There are no hidden surprises. I don't know which cable I have as I bought it years and years ago. It's must be a mini VCI cable J2534 as per time stamp 1:07.

[@JA-kf2td]

Have you been able to register IDs to TPMS sensors? TS takes me through the process of registering IDs, but fails in the end. I'm using your TS setup with mini VCI cable (1.4.1).

[@rahalati]

Thanks, that is really a great video. Can you please shed some light on Techstream (Air Conditioning) ECU. I am having problems on the Servo Motors on my LC200, they are all mixed up. Air flow is coming only from wind shield and not from the Driver nor Passenger side. I tired Techstream to initialize the Servo Motors several times with no effect. I am almost positive that the servo motors or okay since I have been getting this problem since the car was new. Please if you can make a video explaining anything that can also be done other than initializing the servo motors

[@JafffaAdventures]

Sorry mate, outside my field of expertise. Cheers👍

[@mikepreacher5173]

I never comment on KZbin videos. I have to say thank you for posting something useful and it genuinely work. One question I have for you, does it matter what type of Mini VCI cable is used? I've notice many of the cables on Amazon/Ebay have version numbers tied to them. As long as it's a Mini VCI that supports 32bit it should be fine right? Thanks for you help.

[@JafffaAdventures]

Good feedback mate, thank you. As long as the Mini VCI cable supports 32 bit, you are good to go mate👍😎

For some reason techstream cable stopped working. Had it all on windows 10 and it worked before. Tried every damn thing and nothing worked. Thanks for this video. Just did it. Only hiccup I had was I had to restart the computer and repeatedly hit f10 to get to bios. had to enable visualization settings to get the virtualbox to work

[@JafffaAdventures]

I’d say Windows did an update and that’s why it stopped working. This was the reason I posed this as a solution, no need to worry about updates. Glad you got it back on track mate, that’s awesome 👍😎

[@SiyamandRashid]

Thank you for the video, what is the difference between current and historical code please? and what happens when you clear them ? or what is mean clearing them?

[@JafffaAdventures]

A historical code is one that was registered in the past but has since been rectified. This can happen by fixing the issue that created the code in the first place, and ECU retains the historical data. Eg happened, resolved, recorded by ECU. A current code represents an unresolved problem that you have in real time. Clearing a code removes it from the ECU memory. If you have resolved the issue, it’s gone forever. If you have not resolved the issue, the cleared code will return again. Cheers

[@SiyamandRashid]

Thank you very much@@JafffaAdventures for your clarifications

[@JafffaAdventures]

No worries mate 👍😎

[@Infiniterian]

Hey man First of all, thanks for the video as it's really helpful I just picked up a 2008 Lexus LS460 and have a 2009 Lexus ES350.

Please let me know so I know which cable to look for in order to maximize the software capabilities/customization Thanks!

I have used two different cables, both worked. It’s not the cable that trips people up, it’s the software recognising the cables. Enjoy your journey mate👍😎

[@JafffaAdventures]

@scotturquhart5454 leave it as XP exactly as the video. Any deviation may result in it not working. Remember Windows 10 is 64 bit which is the source of all the problems in the first place. Cheers

Techstream will recognise it👍

[@Alex-hc7vt]

Well done Terry! Another great video. I have a 2008 VX Diesel which missed out on crawl control (which was available in the same year Petrol and would be handy). So, I have replaced the "4WD Control" module and console switches with a later version. However, unlike some other Toyota models, simply replacing the modules/switches, does not enable it ... It is surely in there somewhere since the same year Petrol model had it .... maybe TechStream can enable it ....

[@JafffaAdventures]

That’s a good thought Alex, it’s certainly possible. Sounds like you have done a serious amount of work to your ride, that’s for sure, very cool. Cheers👍😎

[@gtibruce]

@@JafffaAdventuresHi, in my toyota handbook it says you should not keep the ignition on for more than 10 minutes meaning anytime without any special intervention like this so once you connect the tecstream device can you just turn the ignition key to auxillary or does the ignition have to be fully on and if so, then does the device compensate for this or at least keep the vechicle running so the coil system does not overheat. Could you please explain?

[@JafffaAdventures]

I have a diesel so there is not coil to overheat in this application. The vehicle either needs to be running or the ignition in the on position, switching it to accessory shuts the power down to the OBDII port. Cheers👍😎

G'day Terry. Loving your channel . Browsing Ebay for this mini VCI, seems there might be multiple vendors, some which are described as 'unbranded'. Which one did you use?
