MiniVCI and Global Techstream

But you can do so manually by pulling out the DRL relay in the fuse box under the hood. DRL will no longer function, but the LED strip will still light up when you have your parking lights or headlights on. Just pop the relay back in if you want it to work again.

You're in Philippines, I'd be curious if you could detail your specs, in particular:



electric fold mirrors Y/N
dual zone auto A/C Y/N
anti turbulence plastic underpanels Y/N
touchscreen Bluetooth radio Y/N
trunck door trim Y/N
front fog lights Y/N
speed regulator Y/N
auto headlights Y/N
frameless inside mirror Y/N
alcantara red stiched leader seats/armrest/steering wheel/stick Y/N
GT86 protective carpets Y/N
TPMS Y/N

TPMS is required by law in the US on all new light (a.k.a. typical passenger) vehicles sold after 01 September 2007:

It will not work directly on a Mac. From my understanding some have had good luck running a windows VM on a Mac though. But, most cables come with the cracked version of the program anyways. I actually used the "newest" one that's posted here in the forums, and the crack that came with my cable. Then had to force install the drivers(xp drivers on a win7) then edit the registry for it to recognize the cable.

Could you please elaborate on how you edited the registry for it to work on win7? Are you using 64 bit?

If you're on 64-bit follow this:

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/genera...-8-64-bit.html

Otherwise the Windows XP drivers seem to work on 32-bit whatever version from what I've read. I'll be giving mine a shot in a few days once my cable comes in (I have a Win 8 32-bit tablet now).

I can send you the file that will automatically do it for you when I get home from work tonight. Makes it a lot easier.
All you'll have to do is install everything, then open this file and it will edit it. Then I had to move the drivers into a seperate folder for it to work correctly.

And I was on 64bit OS. So I'm not sure about the 32bit. It may work correctly without having to do the work around

Yeah, the whole install's a bit of a shamble, but you can get through it and it is worth it!

So I bought the cable for $30 and DL the software here for free..
Installed on my win7 laptop and made the changes. It also has diagnostic functions and allows you to monitor the system temperatures and other operating specs. Very useful tool.

Sorry for being an idiot but where on this site might i find the mentioned software.

In fact you can download it straight from the toyota web site and the crack came on the CD with the cable.


I plugged it into the car for the first time monday (I parked the car 100 meters from my Toyota Dealer just in case something went wrong!), it's incredible all the information you can see about the car status!


I've not yet taken that much time yet, but I plan to adjust some settings (A/C stuff and DRL, ...).


I also want to log data for typical trips (home->work, work->lunch, ...) just to save them as references for when things start getting strange (you're always happy when something's wrong to know what the values should be when all is OK... however, the manual actually gives "normal" value ranges)

Do a search on techstream. I downloaded from a link I found on here.
