Products Discussed in
This is for anyone that is currently trying to use Techstream software to change dealer settings on their BRZ/FRS with a MINI-VCI cable and software. I know there are a few threads out there already on the subject, but they don't contain any useful guides on how to actually succeed in activating and using this software, it's mostly just download links.
I got stuck doing Google searches for about 2 hours trying to figure out if this could be done on a Windows 64-bit computer without the use of annoying Dual Boot or Virtual Machines on XP, and despite what most of these threads say, IT CAN BE DONE! The software works on any OS, but the drivers are the problem so instead they just have to be downloaded manually. I hope this helps some of you guys out.
Download all of the files from this Dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/mztf3wrqa..i5qy1xpoa?dl=0
(Even if you have the mini cd, and have the software already, you still need to download the 'mvci-x64.reg' and 'Techstream_Update_V8.10.021.exe' files from that link. Also, make sure your cd comes with the same version that is listed as mine; 8.00.034. And completely uninstall any traces of previous attempts to download the software)
Equipment Needed:
- MINI VCI cable for TOYOTA TIS Techstream. I bought mine from Amazon for $25. The cable is about 4’ long, with translucent casing and “MINI-VCI J2534 Standard OBDII Communication Interface” sticker:
The cable comes with a mini CD with drivers and Toyota Techstream software. Mine was advertised as “Newest V8.00.034 MINI VCI for TOYOTA TIS Techstream Diagnostic Cable & Software”. The “newest” refers to the version of bundled Techstream, rather than the cable firmware, as cable shows serial number “MVCI006000001” and firmware version 1.4.1, which is widely known as “cheap clone of the original XHorse MVCI cable”. - A laptop running 64-bit version of Windows 7/8. Mine is actually Windows 7 x64, but for Windows 8 the configuration procedure should be identical.
The content of bundled mini-CD:
The Techstream, MVCI drivers and TIS Key all can be found on the mini disk, but I will leave a .zip download containing them if you guys need them.
Steps:
- Download and install a trial version of WinRAR if you don't already have it.
- Using WinRAR Unpack the following files from either the mini-CD or the download to a temp folder on your hard drive (Use c:temp).
- Toyota Techstream 8.00.034
- Techstream_Update_V8.10.021
- MVCI Driver for TOYOTA
- TIS KEY - Now open WinRAR again. Using the program, navigate to the temp folder with unpacked files and double click the TISKey.exe in WinRAR.
The TISKey.exe is actually a self-extracting (SFX) RAR archive file. Once executed, it simply unpacks and copies the IT3System.ini file to the Techstream folder. Extract the IT3System.ini file to desktop for now.
Installing MVCI Driver for TOYOTA:
This is the step most people stumble on as “MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi” installer indeed does not work on Windows x64. The workaround is to install it manually, as follows:
Open the Command Prompt in Administrator Mode, and run the following command line:
msiexec /a 'C:tempMVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi' /qb TARGETDIR=c:tempmvci
This will extract the content of the MSI file to the c:tempmvci folder. Go ahead and close the Command Prompt window, and open up the c:tempmvci folder :
- Delete the “MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi” there. (Now go into C:Program Files (x86) and then create a new folder called 'XHorse Electronics' and then inside of that folder create another called 'MVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS') Then copy the whole content of c:tempmvci to 'C:Program Files (x86)XHorse ElectronicsMVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS'
- Plug the MINI VCI cable to the USB port.
- Open the Device Manager and locate the two failing devices in the list. Both will appear with yellow icon (usually under “Other”), indicating that Windows failed to install drivers for them. Now, right click each failing device, select Install Driver, then “Browse my Computer…” and point it for 'C:Program Files (x86)XHorse ElectronicsMVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS' (enable the “include subfolders” flag). Click “Next” and wait until drivers are installed.
You should now see two new devices: “Universal Serial Bus ControllersUSB Serial Converter” and “Ports (COM & LPT)USB Serial Port (COM5)”. - Run the FirmwareUpdateTool.exe from the 'C:Program Files (x86)XHorse ElectronicsMVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS'. Click “Device Info”. You should see the “device connected” screen like this:
- If you see this, it means your MINI VCI is up and running under Windows x64 and can be used by other programs, such as Techstream.
IMPORTANT: Some people have reported that updating firmware on this “cheap clone” cable may render it dead. So, the Firmware Update Tool should NOT be used for anything, but checking that the device is connected and working properly.
- If you see this, it means your MINI VCI is up and running under Windows x64 and can be used by other programs, such as Techstream.
- Now install the Techstream software using 'Techstream 8.00.034.exe' and then after installation, open up the 'Techstream_Update_V8.10.021.exe' file to update it. DO NOT launch it yet.
To activate it, drag the IT3System.ini you extracted before to the desktop over into 'C:Program Files (x86)Toyota DiagnosticsTechstreamEnv'. When prompted, overwrite the preexisting file with the new one you are dragging over. - Registry Hack: for Techstream to recognize MINI-VCI under Windows x64, the Registry has to be modified as:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodePassThruSu pport.04.04]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodePassThruSu pport.04.04XHorse - MVCI]
'Name'='XHorse - MVCI'
'Vendor'='XHorse ELECTRONICS Co.,Ltd.'
'ConfigApplication'='C:Program Files (x86)XHorse ElectronicsMVCI Driver for TOYOTA TISFirmwareUpdateTool.exe'
'FunctionLibrary'='C:Program Files (x86)XHorse ElectronicsMVCI Driver for TOYOTA TISMVCI32.dll'
'APIVersion'='04.04'
'ProductVersion'='1.1.0'
'ProtocolsSupported'='J1850VPW:1, J1850PWM:1, CAN:1, ISO9141:1, ISO14230:1, ISO15765:1'
'J1850VPW'=dword:00000001
'J1850PWM'=dword:00000001
'ISO9141'=dword:00000001
'ISO14230'=dword:00000001
'CAN'=dword:00000001
'ISO15765'=dword:00000001
'SCI_A_ENGINE'=dword:00000000
'SCI_A_TRANS'=dword:00000000
'SCI_B_ENGINE'=dword:00000000
'SCI_B_TRANS'=dword:00000000
The attached 'mvci-x64.reg' contains the *.REG file that has to be imported to the Registry (all you have to do in this step is just extract the file to the desktop, right click, then click Merge)
A trick here is the 'Wow6432Node' in key path, which is the location the 32-bit applications running on 64-bit OS get redirected to when accessing Registry. The 'PassThruSupport.04.04' seems to be the place Techstream looks into for available VIMs (sub-keys appear in the 'VIM Select' menu in Techstream). - Run Techstream. Go to Setup | VIM Select menu and select the “XHorse - MVCI”
- Connect MVCI cable to your car’s OBDII interface, turn ignition on, then click “Connect to Vehicle” in Techstream. Wait. Then wait again (by the way, you'll be doing that a lot with this cable ). If everything works, you will be prompted to confirm car year/model after which you'll get to the diagnostic interface.
Just to clear it up, you do not have to register this software after this is all done, it is yours forever (almost). Mostly all of the customizable options can be accessed with this update so I would not mess with it and try to get anything new as it is not needed!
I hope this guide works for you guys, it sure as hell saved me a whole lot of frustration when I found it. If you have any questions regarding installation just comment and let me know!

Some customers Review on selecting Techstream Customize Functions: Gen III
“I purchased Techstream and a min vci cable from a Chinese seller for $19 to do some customize settings on a 2010 Prius.
I used:
Laptop with Windows XP 32 bit
Xhorse mini vci cable with Teachstream 8.10.021 from uobdii.com
Note:
1- new software- toyota-techstream-10.30.029.zip or toyota-techstream-10.10.018.zip – should be ok
2- many Techstream cables in China, but some bad with white PCB
TIS cable of Quality A comes with green PCB
Model:
2010 Prius
First attention please!!
First attention please!!
The USB to OBD2 VCI cable driver will only run on a 32 bit computer. Even with an old 32 bit Win XP computer, I had to load/reload the cable driver 3 times. Once done, it is great.
Your owner’s manual covers the customizable features built into the car.
To get to the customizable features, connect the laptop to the car OBD2 port just under the steering column. Start MINI VCI Techstream and depress the brake pedal and press the cars power button. Techstream should connect and ask you the options on the car (radar cruise control and sunroof). It will also pop up with the VIN number and ask if you want to save it.
After that it’s easy. Just select the third tab from the left, Customize
Next select one of the Customize Functions and a small box will pop up with parameters
If you click on the parameter, an explanation will show in the Item Description box below. After you are done selecting parameters, click on the arrow in the bottom left of the small box and it will ask you if you want to save. Select “Yes” and move onto the next Function. You will be amazed at the options you have. You can even turn off the seat belt beeper on the driver or the passenger side or both.
I turned on 4-door unlocking and turned the backup beeper to only 1 beep. You can turn on/off the remote button functions. Actually, my dealer inadvertently turned off ALL of my remote functions and was not able to turn them back on. This was my main reason for digging into MINI VCI Techstream TIS interface. I was also able to program a new remote Key Fob using the Smart Key Menu on the fourth tab.
Hope you all have fun with this!”

The thread includes a dropbox link where you can download “all” of the needed files, but really all you need from there is the MVCI driver and the .reg registry hack file.

There are a number of steps to getting the driver installed manually, be sure to follow ALL of them before plugging the cable in.
On my 8.1 installation, when I plugged in the TIS cable, Windows automatically looked for and installed the driver, so if you haven’t followed the instructions to that point, it will load the 32 bit driver.

After installing the driver, you need to run the registry hack. Mine downloaded as mvci-x64.reg.txt (might be a Dropbox restriction), simply rename to mvci-x64.reg
After renaming the registry hack file you then need to run the file, which will merge the contents with the registry (will probably get a Windows modification confirmation)

Once the driver was loaded and I verified with the firmware update utility that it was communicating (don’t try to update the firmware), I was ready to install and run Techstream.
Again, follow the directions on installation.
One .ini file needs to be edited to “activate” the program.

Upon loading, you’ll need to select “Europe” and then your preferred language. The key thing is that only the “Europe” option works.
For the user and all other blank mandatory fields, I just typed in “111” and left the default “Albania”

Now, you’ll want to set your preferences for units. It defaults to metric, and it also defaults to absolute for the TPMS so at first you’ll be scratching your head at the 46psi tire pressure… set that one to “gauge”

There is no need to launch anything in XP compatibility or anything (at least not on my Windows 8.1 system)
PS. Yesterday, I found some tested TIS on Win10 X64! Then tested this version on my wife’s Corolla using 32 bit Windows 10 just to see if it would work. It did. Also noticed that Win10 put in its own driver for the Techstream cable which seemed to work just fine with the program.
Oh, yes. This may work for MVCI cable also, with the same software Techstream.
