I have both firmware cables and I’m running techstream on an old dell windowXP laptop. Have you had a similar problem to mine and had success using TechStream? If so, where did you buy the cable from? And I imagine the quality of these cables and chips inside can vary and I want to be careful.ĭoes anyone know if I'll need to get the specific firmware (1.4.1 or 2.0.1?) or software version (newer the better, or should go back to an older one?) for new key programming? I don't need to use the cable/software for any fancy diagnostics - just key programming is what I need. I've come across many tutorials showing how to install TechStream on a virtual machine and how those inexpensive Amazon/eBay VCI cables can work to access the internals via the OBD port.īut people are reporting some firmware versions and TechStream versions are not working for their particular models. And I've learned that the key-only method of registering new keys (where you insert the master key 5 times and open/close the door 6 times) is not available for 2007 Camry and I'll need to use TechStream. My only master key broke apart so I ordered a couple of key blanks from Amazon.
