I've heard about a program(CD), that fixes the CEL and removes DTL, does anyone know where I could buy this?

Thanks

Are you talking about TechStream? That's the software Toyota uses.

You are most likely reffering to the software that Toyota uses...

It's called Toyota Techstream.
You can google search and download a version, but it won't do you any good unless you have an obd2-USB cable, and I'm assuming that you don't.
Best thing to do is order a cheap cable from e-bay or amazon, usually they come with a copy of Techstream as well, which is handy unless your a savy downloader...

I have Techstream, and the correct cable, and I can say that Techstream is amazing, you can read and clear dtc codes, enable or disable various courtesy features like day time running lights, re calibrate and change tire pressure sensors, run system tests..... Etc...

Be advised our cars use a very specific obd2-USB interface...
If you get one, make sure it is "J2534 VCI" or "Mini VCI J2534"

Really? Are there any good reviews? Does it turn off the DRLS?

^^ Any generic OBDII reader will only read/clear OBD codes. Anything manufacturer specific (like disabling vehicle features) will require manufacturer specific software.

Carista works well. My friend is beta testing it and could do all sorts of fun stuff to my 10 series. He cleared my cel that was caused by my catless header and it has yet to come back.

Carista is able to modify a lot of manufacturer-specific settings - works great on my BRZ since it uses Toyota electronics

Here's the full list of available options in case anyone is curious about playing with it:

Code:
Doors / Windows / Remote:

Blink turn signals when locking/unlocking with remote
      *YES* / NO

Beep when locking/unlocking with remote
      *YES* / NO

Volume of beep when locking/unocking with remote
      OFF / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / *5* / 6 / MAX

Warn when door can't be locked with remote because it's open
      *YES* / NO

Panic function on remote
      *ENABLED* / DISABLED

Open trunk lid with remote
      SINGLE CLICK / DOUBLE CLICK / *LONG PRESS* / VERY LONG PRESS / DISABLED

Re-lock doors automatically if you unlock, but don't open a door
      *YES* / NO

Re-lock doors automatically if you unlock, but don't open a door within…
      30 SECONDS / *60 SECONDS* / 120 SECONDS

Unlock doors via remote
      DRIVER'S DOOR ON 1ST PRESS, ALL ON 2ND / *ALL DOORS ON 1ST PRESS*

Auto unlock doors via smart key
      DRIVER'S DOOR ON 1ST PRESS, ALL ON 2ND / *ALL DOORS ON 1ST PRESS*

After locking with smart key, allow re-opening within…
      0.5 SECONDS / 1.5 SECONDS / *2.5 SECONDS* / 5 SECONDS

Smart key location to start car
      FRONT SEATS / *ANYWHERE IN VEHICLE*

Unlock trunk when smart key in range
      *YES* / NO


Instruments / Display / Dings:

Engine start indicator
      *ON* / OFF

Key-in-ignition ding sound
      *SLOW* / MEDIUM / FAST

Ding when headlights are left on
      *YES* / NO

Remote low battery warning
      *ON* / OFF


Lights:

Daytime running lights
      *ON* / OFF

Coming-home lights duration
      *OFF* / 30 SECONDS / 60 SECONDS / 90 SECONDS

Auto headlights activation threshold
      MUCH DARKER / DARKER / NORMAL / *LIGHTER* / MUCH LIGHTER

Dim interior lights after…
      7 SECONDS / *15 SECONDS* / 30 SECONDS

Turn on interior lights when you shut off engine
      *YES* / NO

Turn on interior lights when you unlock doors
      *YES* / NO

Turn on interior lights when smart key in range
      *YES* / NO

Interior light control
      *ENABLED* / DISABLED
Carista is a free download (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...rizmos.carista) but the customization options require a one-time $9.99 in-app purchase. That may seem a bit pricey until you consider what the alternative programming methods might cost - I bought a ~$900 Tech-II for my Saabs years ago to gain similar capabilities.

You may need to join the beta testing group to make sure you have all the latest features: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/carista-testing
