How-To: TechStream In 5 Minutes (17 Viewers)

This is getting on my ****ing nerves.

All day to only arrive this this point: I've downloaded VM and TS from page 1 on to my W10 laptop. When I hit start in the VM to open TS, I get the following error message on the right:

View attachment 3791607

I've turned off audio settings in VM as I've seen mentioned here, but still haven't figured out the trick.

I've found this error mentioned a few times in the thread but haven't really seen an answer. I hate to just post up a blunt "what's the problem?" but I don't have the capacity to go through 70 pages of this beyond searches. So, anyone know what's my problem?

I also tried downloading an older (v6) version of VM, but that won't even import TS at all without an error.

I have this cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZCC8QG9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title which came with a disc. I have no clue what the disc is for.

HA I ****ing did it!

So here's the instruction for the fix to the error mentioned in my post above.

A Trusted Solution to the Not in a Hypervisor Partition Error

This post introduces virtualization technology (VT-x and AMD-V) and shows you how to enable it in BIOS to solve not in a hypervisor partition error.

I didn't use the wizard, just the instructions. On my Lenovo it's continuous F1 button pushing during start up (don't use the function key if your F keys normally require it). This brought me into Bios, where I was then able to locate and enable virtualization. Turn on, press F10 to save and exit, and reattempted to import TS.

It worked! @LJE WHO'S COMPUTER ADVERSE NOW???

Hoping someone can help with this. Running version 12.20.024. Downloaded it a couple of years ago to check the pressures on my 01 lx470. That's all I really ever used it for. Right now I'm trying to reset the fuel trims on my wifes 12 sequoia flex fuel and I notice that the Utility button isn't appearing as an option on mine. Anyone ever seen this? Thanks

power steering went down. how can I tell if its the power steering pump? or the master cylinder?
weird it kinda turns to the right but refuses to go left.

Five minutes?! More like 5 days!!

This has Been more difficult than any other experience related to my LC. Probably harder than the timing belt and pump!

Can anyone please help me?

Managed to get everything set up to the point of accessing the ts. Using this threads vm and image. And the vci cable off ebay

Only issue is the software won’t recognise the engine ecu or let me do anything at all! Though it does recognise the cable is plugged in

Did the bios vm recognition setting. Plugged the vci in after turning vm on. Set the settings as per this thread. Still nothing

Now the xp network has turned off and won’t turn back on. And ts asks for a key every time now, however won’t accept the key provided on the desktop text file

Can someone please give me some ideas as I’m burned out mentally now and this whole thing is bonkers way harder than it needs to Be!

Thanks

Usually when I get so far into the weeds that nothing makes sense anymore, I back out, un-install everything, reboot the computer and make sure it's clean and all the folders the new software had created have been delete. Then I start again.

Your screenshots show it as the V8 petrol engine. Is that what you have? And are you still in North Wales? If so, you do need to change your location. Searcher SA gave me the instructions for that -> How-To: TechStream In 5 Minutes - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/how-to-techstream-in-5-minutes.1034923/post-15722055
I had the system up and running in a few minutes, correct engine and all!

Hi yes I’m 4.7 Cygnus mode of LC (Jap import to the uk)

The entire things shut me out now so I’ve decided to buy an autel ds708 as I know it reads well - just unsure if it’s laggy on live readings

Get so much mixed information!

But thanks and I will redo it all soon

Thanks for this thread link I’ve creep shot it and read up more. Decided I’ll uninstall it completely and then start again using these instructions.

Hi folks,

I know these sorts of installs often cause issues for people, but my install on an old windows 10 laptop went very smoothly.

I bought this: Riloer OBD2 Car Diagnostic... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08GM3F4KT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It also included several different versions of techstream + install video (I can't remember which I ended up with but it all works great for my 100 series)

I appreciate on newer computers or macs it will be a different situation but I thoroughly recommend buying yourself a cheap old laptop like mime, they can be found very cheaply online on the usual 2nd places, I've bought a lot from pawn shops over here.

This sort of stuff gets complicated when you're trying to run older programmes etc on newer/incompatible laptops so just make your life easier

Thanks

 

[CMB1987]

Did that setting process and it’s worked a treat!!! Thank you!

I think that info should probably be edited in to the original first post! Specify how to install with the manual time and location etc

It’s worked great BUT

how do I access customisation settings please anyone? Mine open up but are all blank

After all this headache I’d like to play and set things to how I’d like them to be such as the AUTO air con button I’d like to do a specific sequence of settings

Thanks!

Has anyone downloaded a new 64bit version (ie v18.xxx) and had success with it?

Running the VM from the 1st post on this thread on an M2 Mac. I am able to see the miniVCI J2534 USB device but when I try and open Tech Stream I just get the "Cannot connect to VIM" error.

Any advice? There's so much information on this thread it's hard to figure out what is still relevant anymore.

Ran into the same issue with my M1 MacBook Pro. First you need to launch TechStream and configure the app for your OBDII cable. The TechStream desktop shortcut will not work - you must go to Start > All Programs > TechStream & Diagnotics > TechStream. Click cancel on registration screen. Select Setup from the top menu bar, then VIM select and select XHorse MVCI. Close TechStream and re-launch using the desktop shortcut.

IT guy here. Just created an account to let you know that it was a wonderful idea to share a VM instead of the software.
Nowadays it seems that everyone is trying to make some profit out of having it activated.
Since there's been dozen versions of it, this 17th version will work perfectly fine to reflash my 2010 GX keys.
Just ordered the cable in China, let's see how it turns out.

 

[TXSunDevil]

Does anyone have a good link for a quality cable?

 

[gasman4u]

Trying (yet again) to get this going on a Mac. I’ve disabled audio as an earlier suggestion was. Now I’m getting the following pictured error. TIA

alternatively, I still have a PC I'm still unsuccessful in getting any variant of the Oracle VM software to function on. I cannot get the error log to populate.

Thank you for this Christmas present! TS refused to play well with others today. I was not pleased.

Man I'm thrilled I was able to help someone else out.

Finally got version 12 to work with my cheap Amazon cable. Initially I was trying to run the .OVA on an older MBP with High Sierra and version 6.1 of Virtualbox. Couldn't get the USB to show up no matter how hard I tried. Ended up using version 5.1 of Virtualbox and it worked right away. I wanted to try and get to the immobilizer ECU to attempt getting a master key registered, but either the cable I have doesn't support it or version 12 just doesn't have it (though I think it should). Oh well. Maybe the older version of Virtualbox solution that worked for me will help someone get their cables to show up.

FWIW, I 'think' the VM/Virtualbox solution is required if you use a Mac and/or want to buy the cheap $25 ebay VCI cable. I bought the more expensive VX Diag adapter (WIFI Version VXDiag VCX NANO for TOYOTA TIS Techstream V18.00.008 - https://www.vxdiagshop.com/wholesale/vxdiag-vcx-nano-for-toyota-wifi-version.html) and was able to install Techstream directly on a windows 11 laptop using the VX Diag provided s/w and directions without needing to disable antivirus and without needing to run the old unpatched OS that is on the VM version.
