TIS-Techstream is the Toyota factory diagnostic tool (Technical Information System)
This is a very useful tool to have if you are a DIY type owner. Tons of useful features and visibility to trouble codes that are not available in generic OBD2 standard scanners. You can also customize options and run various diagnostics and reset procedures.. Like tire pressure sensors...
I had this installed in the past when it would only run on XP and just went through the process again recently.
Thought I would document what I did real quick to help others out as things have changed over time and it has become much easier.
You can get this for about $20-$30. It's obviously not legal (especially for commercial use).. but the hacked versions are out there and available...
You can now install Toyota TIS on a 64bit OS like Windows10... but I found it much simpler to just install a 32 bit VM like windows 8.1 and go from there. I just don't trust the software enough to run it directly on the host OS...
The issue I kept running into on 64 bit is that most antivirus software will see the drivers as suspect and give you fits on 64bit. So if you are going to run a VM anyway.. why not just run 32bit and keep it simple.
Also. You will need a Type 2 hyper-visor (like VirtualBox or VMWare workstation player). MS hyper-V will not work as it is Type1 and does not allow access to USB devices directly.
So here is what I did.
Step 0. Buy a mini vci cable from obdii365.com. It is cheap and come with the drivers and a version of TIS.
1. Intstall VM Ware workstation player
https://www.vmware.com/products/play...valuation.html I did this on windows.. but you should be able to do this on OSx also (I have not tried)
2. Get a simple 32 bit x86 windows OS VM image here
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-u...dge/tools/vms/
I grabbed 8.1 just to keep it simple. These have a 90 day limit. But should last you a long time if you keep it paused...plus you can just snapshot and rollback...
3. Import the VM file into the player
4. Install the MVCI Driver for Toyota.msi
if you don't have this on the disk that came with the cable PM me and I can send you one.
5. Download the latest TIS here

6. Uncompressed it with the password listed:mhhauto.com. I think it is a rar file so you may need to grab winRar,7zip or something similar. Put the files into a directory of your choice. VMWare player supports something called unity mode on windows.. This allows you to simply drag and drop files between the host and guess OS as it presents each running app as a simple window.. so you can uncompress all the files are your host OS... and just drag them over.
7.Run the GTS_...exe in the directory created in step 6 on the guest VM
8. Copy the MainMenue.exe file (created in step 6) manually to C:\Program Files\Toyota Diagnostics\Techstream\bin overwriting the existing file (keep key.txt handy for step 12)
9. Install JavaRuntime here https://java.com/en/download/ on the guest OS
10. Plug in your MVCI cable. VMware will prompt you to enable it in the VM (it typically shows devices in the top right corner)
11. Your VM desktop should have a MVCI firmware update tool shortcut. Run that and click the INFO button to make sure you can communicate with the USB cable...
12. Start up Techstream. Go to Setup->Register Techstream Enter reg key from key.txt in step 8
The free version of VM ware player does not allow snapshots.. So a good idea is to make a full copy in Documents\Virtual Machines\[name] so you can rollback...
