Nice video. I keep an old laptop with Techstream v14 and the same cable in the glove compartment at all times. I'm not exactly sure why, but it is somehow reassuring to know that I can access live data and interact with the car on this level. Totally recommended
Exactly, you never know when you need it. For example friend of mine was changing brake pads and didnt know he need scan tool to unlock electronic calipers, so I helped him and also lot of others so they dont have to go to expensive dealership and wait 1-2 days. I just carrry Thinkdiag2, I wouldnt be able to fit laptop in glovebox 😅
Excellent. You have explained everything in brief but very very clear. I really appreciate your efforts in producing these videos to help people. Big thanks :)
I hope there’s something similar for Honda/Acura vehicles. There’s a feature where one can use the remote key-fob to open all windows and the moonroof… but no way of reversing that unless you do it manually 😢
It's some stupid Federal car regulation because they don't want you getting your head chopped off literally you can open the windows but you're not allowed to automatically close them
Can you programmed after market keyfob On step 15 in the link above, I used the new key to touch the "Engine Start" button. I heard a beep. (Was it supposed to be one beep or two beeps? Many CZcams videos indicate two beeps. But the link above indicate one beep). On step 16 in the link above, I put the new key on the passenger seat. After a moment, Techstream said registration failed, gave a list of possible causes, such as "two or more keys in the car", "the key already registered", "low battery", etc. None of them applied to my scenario
i have a Lexus CT200h (2012) where the "hand-free" phone feature is not shown in my Nagivation system. Lexus told me they cant help me (or the simply dont want to) would this be a option to get it work? before me the car was a Car in the US Diplomat in Germany..
i trying to readapt a 2003 mr2 SMT, i have replaced the clutch and need to readapt the kiss points, gearbox works fine, but the clutch is too fierce at the moment. i have a recent copy of tech stream and have found my way to a page within that appears to allow the data to be altered, it states a range, but i don't have a data source. is there a procedure that will guide me through a full re-adaption,or is there a data source that i could assess to get the clearance data?
I purchased this it came with the v18 software but I cant seem to get any of the programming functions to work it will only read data. Even the special functions buttons are missing from my program
Thanks for the video, will get it for my Rav4 2011. However, using different software with the same cable would it work for a BMW f30 or you do not know?
In my car, 2011 Verso, everything seems normal. I can read and delete dtc but when i come to “customise settings” it does not open sub menus like “warning”. Pretends to be opening but not opening eventually. Version 18 Windows 11 Toyota Verso 2011
Does techstream has option to disable speed buzzer, I have a LC100 and I want to disable speed buzzer, just wanted to know should I purchase this cable or not
Waiting on my cable to come in the mail! Do you know if there's a possibility of adding the smart key to a 2020 Corolla L w/o smart key?? Been searching around for that without having to ask the garage. Just wondering if I had the fob, if I could just program it for the car.. ? No idea! Awesome video by the way, thanks!
Your car doesn't have any customization options. Scanner can only work with options that are saved in the vehicle, and yours I guess is older so doesnt have any.
Thank you for the Video. whats the difference between v1.4.1 and v2.0.4? is it true that you can only do ECU and TPMS programming with v2? I cant find a VCI with v2 firmware and Techstream software
I have a v1.4.1 and no problem entering TPMS ID codes. 2011 Camry, bought inexpensive preprogrammed sensors from Amazon, took a picture of them before installing to get a record of the registration codes, then use Techstream to enter the codes into the ECU. Worked fine..
Do you think it is also possible to overwrite the mileage of the car? I don't want to scam anybody, because I will keep the car for many many years as long as it runs. But I want to know if with this it would be possible with this programme.
Hi.. can this product fixes my Corolla's vibration issue while at idle? it's 1nr-fe engine from 2017. Suddenly started this issue without any warning light and engine works very noisy. it's only on 35000 km and couldn't find any reason. Could it be useful?
I think the problem is in car doing very low mileage, only 5000km/year roughly. Was the oil changed every year? If it was my car I would change oil, spark plugs and filters and inspect timing chain. If there is no problem with timing chain, I would start driving in higher RPM and use premium gas because you might have whole engine carbonized because it wasn't driven much.
@@iamcarhacker yes the oil changed every year without any compromise. we have also an another car again with low mileage. it is fiat but that car don't have the same problem and works great since 2007. it's really weird, however it shouldn't work like this imo.
@@iamcarhacker that problem I've said, started one morning with a force start. until that moment my car was working like a clock. Now it vibrates on idle and when engine gets fully warm. Timing chain that only i didn't search, how can it occure? Thanks for replying also.

Too complicated. Took literally hours to get the software to work on laptop. Version sent had expired, sent email, took a week to send link for current techstream software, downloaded it, needed a key to unlock, etc etc etc. Took hours and hours, way too much dicking around. And the software is hacked, and virus warnings alll over the place trying to install it... Wasn't even game enough to connect it to the car in case it bricked the computer.

Sorry to hear that but I always say its better to get seperate old laptop for diagnosing because you have to disable antivirus to disable lot of the diagnostic software.
