I am trying this on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

However, when I am running command "msiexec /a "C:\temp\Techstream\MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi" /qb TARGETDIR=c:\temp\mvci", AVG software is finding viruses. Is that OK or is the downloaded file infected?

 

I've installed several versions of Techstream from 8.0XX to 10.030 on my old XP laptop, Avira AV kills the Trojan every time and the driver doesn't work, the only way I could get it to work was turn off Avira and let it install the Trojan and driver. So my old XP laptop is dedicated as a Techstream tool only, wifi turned off.

 

I'm not detecting any trojan/virus with mine.

 

I found this last week, and it worked wonderfully on my Asus Windows 8.1 Intel i3 notebook

When you run the cable check utility, do you get a green bar on K-Line and L-Line or are they both red?

 

Mine are both red but I am able to program new keys.

Been a while since I've run mine but I seem to recall they were red as well.
Caused concern but most everything worked. There were a couple of modules that would not communicate.

 

What version of techstream did you use? I got the version referenced in the first post, from the FR-S forum. What Antivirus are you using?

 

From my research I suspect many who don't detect the Trojan infection aren't using a good AV or don't keep it updated, I ordered three different MVCI units from Amazon and downloaded several Techstreams from sources recommended here and other Toyota forums, they all had the Trojan infection when installing the driver. Whether or not the infection really is an actual Trojan or is just how the file is recognized by AV programs, but I'm not willing to use it on a machine that I have personal information on, after all, the Techstream software we're talking about came from China and we all know what they've been up to for the last few years. I run Avira Free on the laptop. https://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus

I think it's a false-positive due to the way the installer is run.
I've installed this on 4 different notebooks running Symantec, Kapersky, and AVG all coupled with Spybot.

 

Seems to be that most any decent anti-virus programs sees those drivers as containing a virus. Let Windows 10 install its own driver and see if the program doesn't work just as well.

 

I just installed V10.00.028 on a Win 10 x64 laptop, install went fine, Win10 loaded its own driver for the cable, but I haven't connected to the vehicle yet to see if it actually functions.

 

I believe it will work just fine. The Win10 32 bit driver appears to work well.

 

Francesco, I am lost. My goal is to program a valet key for the same vehicle you have. I have the latest TSI software and have tried to follow the detailed installation post for Windows 8.1. I believe the driver is the problem. I have the 64 bit on the laptop but I believe the 32 is installed and can't get it to change. Any tips you can offer? Thanks.

 

CB9, I had a hard time following this. I believe my Connection Error is due to a driver problem. My goal is to have a valet key. I have a Windows 8 PC and a 2015 Rav4. I got the software to load and come up but cant get the connection. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Purchased the MVCI interface cable and software on a mini-DVD from a Amazon partner vendor and tried to install it yesterday. The mini-DVD was cracked and the mylar was coming up. Was able to get a few small files off it, but not the 137Mb techstream file. Thankfully, that is available for download from just abut everybody.

No luck getting it to run last night. First tried on a Mac running virtualbox, then on an old netbook I had lying around that I kept a copy of Win7 in a partition after I installed Linux on it. Checked all my old netbooks and finally found one that still had XP on it.

Installed it this morning on that XP netbook and was able to hookup to the RAV. Looked around, changed a few minor things, then printed out the TPMS data. I'm hoping it will come in handy when I swap wheels and have to register new TPMS sensors.

 

Are you using "XHorse- MVCI" in Setup-VIM?

I think so, but can't say for sure. Would have to look. The installation does put a desktop link to the XHorse firmware update program. I didn't update, but read on-line that you can use that program to verify the driver installation.

 

Ya, I wouldn't try a reflash with this cable.

Volosong: I did not use ANY of the files on the CD. Everything needed (and more current versions) are available from the download links in the links that I posted.

Steve, I'm not sure what to say.
I tried the "traditional" method on an old XP machine that I had and was not able to get anything to work.
I bought the new Asus Windows-8 machine and followed the 64 bit instructions exactly as outlines in the links and everything worked first time without a hitch.

 

Quoting to highlight a couple of "Gotcha's"

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 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

Next, select VIM type xHorse

I probably should have added, after renaming the registry hack from ".reg.txt" to ".reg" you then need to run the file, which will merge the contents with the registry (will probably get a Windows modification confirmation)

 

Hello All

I apoligize for bringing up an old thread but it's the only info I have found on web regarding my problem.

Trying to install MINI VCI J2534 on a windows 10 64 and can't get techstream to connect to car. I get an S302-5 error.

Trying to follow this thread but either I am really thick today and can't understand it or doing something wrong.

I uninstalled everything I had installed that was in the CD that came with the diag cable. So as to start fresh.

Can someone confirm it can work on windows 10? I have techstream 10.30.029. Can someone break the process down for me?

Thank you

 

It works on my Windows 10 installation on my ASUS, *BUT* the Win10 install is an upgrade from the Win8 that came on the machine, not a factory Win10 installation.

 

I wasn't able to get Techstream 10.29.30 to connect to the vehicle on the Win10 x64 install, prolly has to do with the Win10 driver the interface was using, since I have a perfectly functioning Techstream 10.29.30 on an XP laptop, I never messed with Win10 any further.

Got it to work on windows 7 but when connecting to car techstream gives a message that it is outdated and news an update. When you accept, it takes me to a page techstream page that requires a log in and password, seems only available through toyota. I am on version 10.30.029

Anyone else run into this? Any advice?

 

The Toyota site will not let you upgrade because the DL version is a hacked version of Techstream (it is a multi-thousand $$ program supported by a $1500 annual subscription intended for professional use).
Go back to the original links in the thread and poke around to find the most current available version.
An older version of Techstream may not support 2016 and 2017 models.

 

Is there any way to know if the installation was successful before connecting to the car with the cable?
