I have the same cable. Did it work for you?

i havent tried it yet, have to setup the techstream etc on a spare laptop

Installing it right now. initially i had to go and install Visual C++ because it wasn't installed on the laptop i'm using. got that done and now install the virtual box and and some pop-up dialog regarding python etc hopefully it'll go smoothly. Seems like a lot to install because it's taken close to 10 mins now.

The error "VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for all CPU modes" in virtualization software like VirtualBox means that the CPU's virtualization extensions are not enabled in your computer's BIOS settings. To fix this, you need to access your BIOS settings, locate the virtualization technology option, and enable it.

I figured out what went wrong and it's working now.

My install was based on the instructions on VXDIAG. A few things that I've changed from previous install:

1. Plugged in the dongle before running VX manager. Make sure you see the dongle in the VX manager app.

2. Do NOT open Techstream using the the real Techstream icon that was created on your desktop. You have to go to the BIN folder and use the Toyota Launcher application, it will automatically bring up Techstream. By doing it this way, Techstream no longer ask for the Key. I created a shortcut to put on my desktop so I will not need to dig through the folders to find the Toyota Launcher next time.

3. After Techstream is loaded, go to Setup>VIM Select> open the dropdown and choose TOYOTA-J2534. This is something that's not listed in the instruction but it's super important because the default is TIS Techstream VIM. If you don't choose TOYTO-J2543, your dongle will not talk to your Techstream.

4. I have a press button start car. Press the start button on the car twice. Connect your car to the dongle. Click connect to vehicle in Techstream and you should see your car's information automatically populated.

Good luck!

I'm very grateful to you and all the others that had the frustrating experience of the box to fill in re the 'registartion key'. Our next door helpful computer programmer lecturer kindly put all the Techstream data on a samsung win7 laptop our electrician son gave me. The 16 pin type 18......... diagnostic adaptor came from Aliexpress £18. I was able to delete ECU fault codes after taking a photo of the screen. This box has now come up asking to register so Scott from Tulsa area says he'll have a look at it for me & I'll give him your post & hope he gets it right.
I need to input the new set injector codes and the injector pump apparently. Our 4x4 is Toyota 2002 land cruiser 1KD ftv diesel. Thanks a million.
