Ok so there is a way to "Power On" the VM, then you should be able to open techstream from there, if I remember correctly.
I was able to get it running last night on an extra Dell laptop we had laying around. Windows 8 I believe, lol…
Haven’t plugged it into the LC yet but my 2015 Tacoma 4-cylinder linked right up.
Not much to look at for a base model but this weekend I’ll be plugging it into the LC.
Download from OP and used this cable FWIW…
Washinglee OBD2 Diagnostic Cable for Toyota Lexus Scion, USB Diangostic Scanner Cable Supporting TIS Techstream and 32/64 bit Windows Amazon product ASIN B084H75MZ3
Try a reboot first.
Otherwise, this is likely a permissions issue. You'll have to go into your "Security & Privacy" settings, under "System Preferences" and give VirtualBox explicit permission to run. There should be a little ribbon at the bottom of the first screen in "Security & Privacy" when you open it up, but if there's not then you'll have to reinstall VirtualBox, attempt to run it, and then go look for what I just described and click "Allow". If you reinstalled and have already given full permissions, reboot to install the required kexts.

I currently don't have one but for the M1 Macs you might try Parallels as well

Download Parallels to run Windows on Mac, Chrome, gain access to virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) with DaaS, & Toolbox to secure private files, & more.

I'm having the same issue and couldn't find the fix.
The buttons don't show up and the screen is too big for the laptop display. I have a Dell Inspiron Mini
I gave the permission and rebooted, a few more permissions prompts, and boom its working. Sweet.
Wanting to do the brake bleed, but I can't find it in TS. I am able to connect with the cable, no problem. Ran a Health Check just fine. Where is/are the functions like brake bleed?
Under "System Select", click on ABS/VSC/TRAC, then click the green arrow. This should bring up the brake system ECU page. Then click on "Utility" and you should see the option for air bleeding.
Just got techstream running tonight now just waiting for cable. thx for links to setup
Thanks for posting this @getco!!
I have a question. I am running VMware Fusion 12 on a newer Mac. I double click the .ova file and it launches as it should and everything works for the first several seconds. Then Windows XP (I hate windows) updates a bunch of device drivers and the mouse no longer works. I've tried various settings in vmware but i'm stumped. Anyone else had this issue and can suggest a fix?
Thanks

Have you tried? https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003665
I've seen this issue before with mouse driver conflicts inside WindowsXP. Another option might be to try to use a USB mouse and use Fusion to pass-through the device directly to Windows XP to see if you can get it to work.

I cant get TIS to connect, keep getting the unable to connect to VIM error. When I plug in the cable it makes the usb connection noise on my base machine (win10 64 bit) but when I go into the device manger I dont see xhorse or mvci anywhere, just unknown devices with the error triangle saying it doesnt have drivers. Not sure if that matters or not. Under other devices VirtualBox USB also has the error triangle saying it doesnt have any drivers. Again, no clue if this impacts anything regarding the vm just giving as much info as I can.
Do I need to do anything inside the xp vm? In the virtual box settings on the bottom right when the VM is running with the MVCI plugged in I can right click the usb icon, go into settings and the HX M-VCI [0600] shows up. The MVCI firmware update tool program says it cant connect to my device if I click the device info button inside of it, again no clue if that matters or not. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I fire up TIS, plugin the USB, wait a bit and then connect the mvci (with the vehicles key turned but not running). Any advice?
edit: Also, the XP machine doesnt make a USB connection noise, win10 base does but the VM isnt. And I'm getting a 'Failed to attach the usb device HX M-VCI [0600] to the virtual machine TechStream 12.20.024.' if I right click the virtualbox usb icon and click on the mvci option.
What do I need to do to get this dumbass thing to connect? Have the usual amazon special mini-vci j2534.

The Windows XP VM should have had the USB drivers pre-installed. If Windows XP device manager is showing the USB device as unknown, it needs the drivers to be installed. It's not important in host system (Windows 10) has the USB device drivers installed. Only the VM needs to connect to the USB device. Not sure why your USB device isn't working, but maybe return it and try another supplier. Not all connectors on Amazon are the same.
Is this security ribbon in and security setting in VirtualBox or is this a Windows system setting issue?
I'm stuck trying to run on a Windows laptop. Anyone have a similar sticking point? Does either program need Internet access for the install once they're downloaded?
Has anyone been able to get Techstream working using the 22-pin diagnostics plug in the engine bay? My HZJ105 does not appear to have an OBD connector inside the car (nothing attached to the brake pedal). It is a mechanically injected diesel so there is no engine ECU, but there should be one for the airbags, ABS and body.
Seems like a Toyota DLC1-to-DLC3 adapter is needed -- there are various sources costing around AUD20 -- can be found on eBay, or here:

Suggest e-mail or chat with these suppliers first to check that the pin-outs on these adapters will enable you to do what you want on your model year HZJ105.
If not already done, also suggest broaden the inquiry to Australian-based Welcome to Land Cruiser Owners On Line (LCOOL) - https://lcool.org (requires free registration) in order to reach more HZJ105 Owners.
I have that cable adaptor from the mob in Perth and everything connects up, I just cant get a response from any of the systems on the car.
