TechStream Cable Suggestion? (2 Viewers)

[cumminsBase]

Hello,
I am going to buy the TechStream cable...
Any suggestions on which one to get?

If I search on amazon, I get a bunch of "mini vci" cables.
Different prices, and lots of reviews.
Yet there is a "Drew Tech Mongoose" cable which is almost $500.
Compared to the other $60 cables... am I missing something?

I want the cable primarily to measure the AHC pressures in an LX470.

Any recent feedback you guys can provide?

Thank you!

Pardon my ignorance, but does this tech stream work through the range of years of the 100? I have a 98. Thanks!

I believe it works with 1996 onwards Toyota (and Lexus) vehicles.

In this thread, you can see the HowTo of Techstream, plus information on how to actually get the program.
You have to buy the cable on your own.

Thank you!

Just ordered it.

Hope you read the reviews first. Not too encouraging.

Trying to figure out the best one, did this one work for you? What did you use it for?

I bought the one below and works great.
I didn't use the CD that comes with it, I follow this post and had 0 issues

I bought the one Leandro linked above.

Worked fine to connect to Techstream (the virtual machine) running on Apple Air laptop.
I programmed my additional master key with it, and got engine DTC codes.

I have not checked "live" data yet.
I want to use it for AHC pressures.

Yet I don't see a reason why it would not work.

Thanks, pulled the trigger on that one. I'm assuming it will work on our GX 460 as well.

I can confirm that that cable works along with the instructions in the thread above posted by Leandro.
