My TechStream experince
Im in the UK but with a Japanese mode (JDM) Estima Hybrid 2011
Mini-VCI J2534 cable, firmware 1.4.1
Running 32-bit TechStream in a Virtual box
connect cable to laptop after the virtual box instance is up (Windows XP), but before starting TechStream
TechStream v12.20.24
From virtualbox image mentioned on these pages
If change the region and getting license expired, then need to edit the xx.ini file as per page 62/63 of these notes (Harald notes)
Region NorthAmerica – doesn’t detect my vehicle and no suitable one in pull down list (and although some seem to work)
Set to region Other
Detects my vehicle as Previa HV AHR20 (which is broadly correct)
Didn’t try Japan region yet
TechStream v18.00.008
Acquired from (cant remember, there was a .zip and a .rar, the .rar has the important .lnk files)
Installed in a virtualbox over the exist v12 copy
Need to start it via the Patch32bit.lnk to skip the licence check
(and/or maybe editing ini file might help if change region)
Set to Japan region
Detects my vehicle correctly – Estima HV AHR and then need to select model year
works well
incl live data
and smartkey programming
