How to run MINI VCI for TOYOTA TIS Techstream 8.x on Windows 7/8 64-bit?

How to run MINI VCI for TOYOTA TIS Techstream 8.x on Windows 7/8 64-bit?

Review:My MINI VCI cable arrived several days ago, as user manual suggestion MINI VCI is supposed to work it with Windows XP, but to contrary the popular belief, I get it working under Windows 64-bit and would like to share the instructions, I hope it will save someone a headache of dealing with dual boot and virtual machines with Windows XP.

Package:
MINI VCI cable for TOYOTA TIS Techstream, I‘ve bought mine from OBD365 for around $30. The cable is about 4’ long, with a box and “MINI-VCI J2534 Standard OBDII Communication Interface” sticker.

The cable comes with a mini CD with drivers and Toyota Techstream software; it is advertised as “Newest V8.30.023”. The “newest” refers to the version of bundled Techstream, rather than the cable firmware.
My Windows 64-bit Computer:
A laptop running 64-bit version of Windows 7/8. Mine is actually Windows 8 x64, but for Windows 7 the configuration procedure should be identical.

CD software and driver Copy or download

Copy the software and driver in the CD, and paste it into my local disk C, Note: you can paste into any one local disk as you like.

If you find your CD is broken in the delivery, don’t worry, obd365 has a software download website, link here: http://www.chinaautodiag.com/html/mini-vci-for-toyota-tis-techstream-free-download-223.html

Install MVCI Driver for TOYOTA

this is the step which most people stumble upon as “MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi” installer indeed does not work on Windows x64. The workaround is to install it manually, as follows:
a. Open Command Prompt in Administrator Mode. Navigate to the c:\temp folder and run the following command line:

msiexec /a “C:\temp\MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi” /qb TARGETDIR=c:\temp\mvci

This will extract the content of the MSI file to the c:\temp\mvci folder:

b. Delete the “MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi” there and then copy the whole
content of c:\temp\mvci to “C:\Program Files (x86)\XHorse Electronics\MVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS”
c. Plug the MINI VCI cable to the USB port.
d. Open the Device Manager and locate two failing devices in the list. Both will appear with yellow icon (usually under “Other”), indicating that Windows failed to install drivers for them. Now, right click each failing device, select Install Driver, then “Browse my Computer…” and point it for “C:\Program Files (x86)\XHorse Electronics\MVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS” (enable the “include subfolders” flag). Click “Next” and wait until drivers are installed.

You should now see two new devices: “Universal Serial Bus Controllers\USB Serial Converter” and “Ports (COM & LPT)\USB Serial Port (COM5)”.
e. Run the FirmwareUpdateTool.exe from the “C:\Program Files (x86)\XHorse Electronics\MVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS”. Click “Device Info”. You should see the “device connected” screen like this:

If you see this, it means your MINI VCI is up and running under Windows x64 and can be used by other programs, such as Techstream.

IMPORTANT: Some people have reported that updating firmware on this “cheap clone” cable may render it dead. So, the Firmware Update Tool should not be used for anything, but checking that the device is connected and working properly.
2. Now install Techstream software using “Techstream 8.30.023.exe” and then update to 8.10 with “Techstream_Update_V8.10.021.exe”. Do not launch it yet.

To activate it, copy the IT3System.ini you extracted before to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Toyota Diagnostics\Techstream\Env\”.

Alternatively, you may copy two files from the C:\Program Files (x86)\XHorse Electronics\MVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS\ProgramFilesFolder\Toyota Diagnostics\Techstream\Env” to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Toyota Diagnostics\Techstream\Env\”, which seem to do the trick as well.
3. Registry Hack: for Techstream to recognize MINI-VCI under Windows x64, the Registry has to be modified as:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PassThruSu pport.04.04]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PassThruSu pport.04.04\XHorse – MVCI]
“Name”=”XHorse – MVCI”
“Vendor”=”XHorse ELECTRONICS Co.,Ltd.”
“ConfigApplication”=”C:\\Program Files (x86)\\XHorse Electronics\\MVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS\\FirmwareUpdateTool.exe”
“FunctionLibrary”=”C:\\Program Files (x86)\\XHorse Electronics\\MVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS\\MVCI32.dll”
“APIVersion”=”04.04”
“ProductVersion”=”1.1.0”
“ProtocolsSupported”=”J1850VPW:1, J1850PWM:1, CAN:1, ISO9141:1, ISO14230:1, ISO15765:1”
“J1850VPW”=dword:00000001
“J1850PWM”=dword:00000001
“ISO9141″=dword:00000001
“ISO14230″=dword:00000001
“CAN”=dword:00000001
“ISO15765″=dword:00000001
“SCI_A_ENGINE”=dword:00000000
“SCI_A_TRANS”=dword:00000000
“SCI_B_ENGINE”=dword:00000000
“SCI_B_TRANS”=dword:00000000

The attached “mvci-x64.zip” contains the *.REG file that has to be imported to the Registry (extract, right click, then Merge)

A trick here is the “Wow6432Node” in key path, which is the location the 32-bit applications running on 64-bit OS get redirected to when accessing Registry. The “PassThruSupport.04.04” seems to be the place Techstream looks into for available VIMs (sub-keys appear in the “VIM Select” menu in Techstream).
4. Run Techstream. Go to Setup | VIM Select menu and select the “XHorse – MVCI”
5. Connect MVCI cable to your car’s OBDII interface, turn ignition on, then click “Connect to Vehicle” in Techstream. Wait. Then wait again (by the way, you’ll be doing that a lot with this cable  ). If everything works, you will be prompted to confirm car year/model after which you’ll get to the diagnostic interface.

The built-in Techstream cable diagnostics shows:

So far, I tested the cable with 2013 4Runner, 2004 Sienna and 1997 Camry LE/4cyl, and it seems to work fine with all of them. Absence of (L) line connection means no support for ECU re-flashing (which is not something I’m comfortable doing myself anyway). Option customization/clearing DTC is possible (already verified).

Overall, not bad for a $30 gadget, in my opinion.

three best DIY diagnostic tools for BMW repairs

There is a growing trend among BMW owners buying car diagnostic tools to do their own auto repairs, while eBay sellers trying to sell unnecessary stuff to these owners. I used to be one of the BMW owners buying whatever the sellers to me to buy. But it is time to be wise. After using a lot of BMW diagnostic tools, I just know which are good, which are useless. Here I have compiled a list of the top three ones for every level of DIY.

1. BMW ICOM A2+B+C WIFI

The modified ICOM A2 for vehicles with OBD access receives a significantly more powerful processor and more storage capacity. Robust aluminium case will help to avoid damage when using in harsh environments. To protect the MOST connector, the ICOM B for vehicles with optical MOST access will be equipped with a soft cover made of rubber instead of the former plastic cap. The ICOM C for old series with a diagnostics socket will be additionally equipped with an approx. 20 cm long cable, which facilitates the connection of the ICOM A2 and makes storage in the engine compartment easier. BMW ICOM A2+B+C support BMW cars till 2015 year. Support BMW & MINI full system diagnose and offline programming.

2. iOBD2 BMW Diagnostic Tool for iPhone

iOBD2 BMW is a portable OBD2 code scanner that works together with your iPhone through WiFi or Bluetooth. This iOBD2 code scanner especially works on BMW car models. It is not as powerful and stable as BMW ICOM, but it is a lot cheaper. It allows the user to read and clear fault codes, read car data, record engine speed and ignition time in all the BMW car models with OBDII or EOBD protocol.

3. FVDI BMW ABRITES Commander

FVDI Commander for BMW and MINI may cost much more than the previous two tools, but it really worth the money. It not only has all the functions that BMW ICOM A+B+C has, but also supports car key programming and mileage programming for systems such as IKE, LCM, EWS, ECU, ABS, VTG and EGS.

Relation News Search : Autel Maxisys    

Just to share my experience of Chinese diagnostic tool VXDIAG here.

For diagnosis on my 2010 Buick Excel, purchased GM VXDIAG scanner fromhttp://www.uobd2.net/wholesale/vxdiag-vcx-nano-for-gm-opel-gds2-wifi-version.html, for $136 with DHL shipping for one week.

Package seemed packed well. Every item looked in a good condition, the main unit, two disks with software Tech2win and GDS2 (sounds with scratch), one cable also. Worried about the software damaged because of a little scratch on the GDS2 disk, so installed GDS2 first.

Easy to install gds2 in Win7 64bit, 3 steps only— install VMware, set COM Port & install VXDIAG GM Driver.
For the detail, go on reading…
–Step 1 Install VMware
Open GDS2 software CD
Open “VMware-player-6.0.6-2700073” and install VMware-player
Install wizard for VMware Player
Click Next
Accept license agreement
Click Next

Press Continue
Setup Wizard complete, press Finish
Copy GDS2 VM folder on CD to Local Disk (E;)
Open VMware Player on desktop
Open a Virtual Machine->select E:/GDS2 VM->Win_XP_GDS2_11_2014
Select Play virtual machine
Click OK
Press “I copied it” if the system asks have you moved or copied the virtual machine
Click OK
Click OK
–Step 2 Set COM Port
Make a full screen of VMware
Open Computer->Manager->Device Manager->Ports&LPT to check device is well connected to the computer
Click VMware, back to host machine, disconnect VCX Wifi connection
Open virtual machine again, go to Computer->Manager->Device Manager->Ports&LPT to check USB Serial Port is set to COM3
–Step 3 Install VXDIAG GM Driver
Open VX Manger driver on desktop
Select “Configure” button
Select Connection Type as “USB”

Installation completes!

Then i go to basically diagnose my car.
I successfully read & clear trouble codes of airbag, ECM, etc.
Also, i read VIN, ECU part numbers and software numbers.
Record, store and replay stored data…it’s ok.
Sbc reset i did so.
But control and monitor output control functions and freeze frame data function…i haven’t tried. And record or display history of the previous vehicle diagnostic sessions… should no much trouble, i think

Here, take one diagnosis as an example, ECM codes reading.
connect VXDIAG interface to EXCEL via the cable, to laptop via wireless connection.
Connect VCX WIFI wireless connection

Open VX Manager on desktop
Press “Configure” function
Set Connection Type to “WLAN” and save it

Read and click Back
Go to Home page and Close Applications

All in all, basic diagnosis on EXCEL 2010 was ok!! Content with this purchase from China.
