Here for a good time...not a long time!
Before I do all of that I do want to check the pressures, but I'm unsure as to what units will actually work on an Aussie 2005 model. Most scanner websites seems to say only 2006 on-wards. I checked with an Ebay site about the TOYOTA Techstream TIS V10 MINI VCI USB Interface OBD2 Car Diagnostic Cable unit ($50) and he says it will work provided I have Windows XP. I did notice that a few people on here did mention that so I know there are a number of ways around this issue. However, he recommended the AUTEL AutoLink AL619 OBD2 ABS AIRBAG Diagnostic Car Scanner which is +4 times the price ($240). Have any Aussies on here had any success with any units and have any recommendations?
I got my Mini VCI cable/software off of Amazon a year or so ago. This is the one I bought:Amazon.com: Docooler Mini VCI Car OBD Diagnostic Scanner OBD2 USB Interface Scan Tool for TOYOTA TIS Techstream Diagnostic Cable & Software: Cell Phones & Accessories
I am running Techstream version 10.10.018. It took me a couple of tries and a little bit of reading on different forums before I was able to get it working on an old windows XP laptop. It seems that I was installing programs in the wrong order at first.
It was nice to be able to customize some vehicle settings with it once it was up and running. It was also useful for reading and clearing any DTC's that have occurred.
