To get around this go to the C:Program Files (x86)Toyota DiagnosticsTechstreamEnv folder and open the « IT3UserCustom.ini » file.
When you connect there’s a counter in Techstream that only allows 30 connections to your car without an internet connection. Now you can start and use Techstream without the force update check. To get around this disable your internet connection (turn off wifi and/or unplug your ethernet cable). If you try to Connect to Vehicle you’ll get a message that forces you to update the software. This will have Techstream use the XHorse – MVCI cable. Open up Techstream, go to Setup menu, VIM Select, and choose the XHorse – MVCI.
Next you’ll need to update your registry, on the ft86club post there’s a Dropbox link and with a « mvci-圆4.reg » file, download this and run it. When it asks to register with a new key, use the key found in the « serie.txt » on the CD. You should be able to load up the Techstream link that was installed on your desktop. After installation I went into the C:Program Files (x86)Toyota DiagnosticsTechstreambin folder and replaced the « MainMenu.exe » file with the one found on the CD. Next up is the Techstream software, from the included CD I ran the « Toyota Techstream 10.30.029.exe ». After drivers are properly installed and you verify you can see the device connected on the XHorse Firmware Update Tool, you’re GTG. I used the « Mini VCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi » in the 10.30.029 folder that came on the CD from Amazon
Follow the steps outlined in »Installing MVCI Driver for TOYOTA » of the ft86club post. First thing you need to do is install the driver for the USB/OBDII cable.
