This thing is driving me crazy....I'm trying to install the Japanese area version and followed Jake's video instructions step by step. Everything ok till making the image CD, but when I insert the CD the program doesn't recognize it and keeps asking for " JPN A1 CD" I even tried inserting the A2, B1, B2, B3 but no success as well.

I installed the program on my D drive and not C, but this shouldn't be a problem I guess?

Any idea what I'm doing wrong ?


I tried
 
if you have the EPC and the actual copies of the disc it doesn't matter what drive you install it too
the only thing that sometimes messes things up is if you have changed the name of the cd from the original name . also during the EPC setup did you tell the program what CDrom to use ? the appropriate drive letter ? either the disc has the wrong name ,or the program is looking for a location for the disc other than your CDrom drive try reinstalling the program making sure to pay attention to the cdrom portion of the setup.
 
I'm at work now but I remember the CD name was something like this date "200604..." for the A1 Japanese area version. I didn't do any changes I right clicked the iso file and chose open with Nero and then burn a image cd so it should be the usual name.

I have only one CD Rom, but I noticed that when click retry the light for CD Rom doesn't come on, so how can I be sure that I chose the right one?
 
I uninstalled the program and then reinstalled it again and it worked just fine...looks like I'll be spending a lot of time playing with it! :)

Thanks Jake and great video instructions...appreciated

also heres how to unlock the lexus catalogs

to unlock the lexus for this set create a text file using notepad. copy the following into it

07112114E120071121

this code is made up of the date stamp of the EURO disc's A1

.save it ,then rename the text file to

GCDROMLE.XUS not GCDROMLE.XUS.txt

unhide file extensions in control panel under folder options and delete the .txt part and save .then drop this file into the
TMCEPCW2 folder and lexus is unlocked

check date of your EUR A1 disc and use appropriate code below
2005 code 05121914E120051219
2007 code 07112114E120071121


:cheers:
 
The new version was not difficult to install at all. I have not installed the older version, but it sounds like a similar installation where you point the data paths to the CD (or in my case, mounted the .isz as a virtual CD) and install it to the hard disk.

I found the torrent on PirateBay.org and had all 29 disks downloaded in little over a week. I am happy to seed if you are looking for it..

I did try what I thought might be the date code of the Europe1 (200811E1) CD, but that did not work for unlocking the Lexus piece.. Fortunately it's not a big deal for me..

Hi,

I've just downloaded that new version but got absolutely NO clue on how to install this. It's all .isz files, how on earth do I get this to work?
That russian link didn't work, it said 404 page not found.

Help?
 
Right..
I figured out that it was a compressed file. I unpacked it and the program is now working.
What isn't clear yet is how does it work with the cd's? I'm only interested in the Europe version, so how do I get that to work?

It keeps asking for the cd's.....

you will have to run the setup and add the catalog files . you are going to have to either mount the ISZ if you can ? usually what you would do is burn the cd's .the program is going to search for an actual disc. . i am not a fan of this newer version of the EPC .for anybody searching it it is actually called
toyota EPC3 the older one seems more user friendly

I'm an absolute idiot when it comes to computers. So instead of trying to do weird tricks, I'll just go and buy some cd's :D.

Thanks!


Edit:

Ok, just bought some cd's

Copied the Europe 200811E1.isz to the cd by using UltraISO so it unpacked the whole lot too. Computer doesn't recognized the cd afterwards so it STILL doesn't work...

I'm about ready to recognize defeat and give up :(

Ok I had been using toydiy with great sucess until their diagrams went down. Seeding and torrent have never worked for me. Where can I buy the DVD or CD set of the Toyota EPC?
Thanks,

Dude,
I get cut, paste, glue, lasers and a few other things:rolleyes: The problem is that where I am presently located my ISP connection is so crappy that download speeds are abysmal. Anytime I have tried any version of online download, even leaving it to work overnight the connection dies before the files are complete. Hence my decision just to give up and buy the set. Thanks for the assist.
 
I started using Toyodiy too with great succes. It's very handy to be able to look up p/n's of stuff you need.
