I do not. I feel like I missed a step with installing the cable’s software, but I thought this was all handled with the VB.
??
I think you should uninstall the mvci software then try connecting with vb again. If i recall correctly the version of techstream software that came with my mvci did not work and had to be uninstalled. I uninstalled all mvci software that came with my cable, then i did the vb using the techstream in five minutes version and worked as soon as i changed the VIM select to xhorse. If still fails uninstall everything and start over using techstream in 5 minutes vb method leaving out the disc that comes with the mvci cable.

Nope, no separate software, you're in the right spot. before launching VB, plug the USB into your computer and make sure it can see it in the device manager. once you confirm it can be seen by your system, launch VB and try accessing the firmware update tool from the desktop. keep messing with the cable, somtimes it can be seen sometimes it needs to be cycled a few times before the VB recognizes the USB.
hmmm.. upload some screen shots
i used this video /\
this one was helpful to and shows the "utility" menu you need

Here is a photo of what I'm seeing. Don't seem to have any options. Looking under the immobilizer section it appears I am able to program new transponders, but not what I'm needing to do. Any ideas? As a side note the cable firmware update tool in VB shows my cable is version 1.4.1, not sure if that matters but it won't let me upgrade anything anyway.
I also installed TS on my parents windows 10 machine using the stuff that came with my cable to see if I could get it to work. Everything seems to install properly. Its TS version 15, but it won't connect to the vehicle.
I just got it to work on the windows computer, I had to change the VIM settings to my cable instead if the TIS one. But even with the other computer I still don't have any options under body to program the wireless remotes. Connects to vehicle fine otherwise, although some other options may be missing as I don't know what all I should have available but its connecting to the different ECUs.
Sorry brother I was responding to Lenny's post above but somehow got attached to your post. Good luck with your issue.
I've only ever used V12 on my 460... there have been deprecated options on that model for things like key programming on newer versions... VM in this thread is older but here are other versions for download as well
Customization is gone from V14+ IIRC on the 460

What file is infected or fails
Thanks for this link, I downloaded the oldest version they had there, 10 something, and I still don't have the option to program the remote fob. Not sure where to go from here, maybe a different firmware version for the cable?
The file containing the drives. In the instruction, one of the steps was to disable firewall. I skipped that step on accident and when I tried installing the file containing the drivers, the virus scanner deleted the file when it detected the Trojan.

Ok. Try it the proper way next time and if it fails on an individual file, post up which one (like a .inf file, not a .cab file or similar)
The proper way meaning, not a copyrighted file found on eBay or Amazon?

If it fails again on an individual file (like an .inf) rather than a composite file (like a .zip or .cab), just post up the filename. Folks can try and get you the correct file (like me, if you are installing the same version I have).
