Does anyone on the forum have experience with the techstream software for Toyota/lexus? I recently got a laptop with the software on it among others but there were no leads. I bought a generic USB to OBD II lead but it doesn't seem to communicate with the software. It will connect with other programs like Proscan so the issue isn't actually in the lead itself ( I don't think). Upon further research I think (but could be wrong-I was once before) that there is special interface module that has to go between the laptop and the Car?
However, these seem to cost about £300+ so of course I'm looking for a cheaper option ;-)
I also read about a Chinese piece of kit called allscanner that will deal with Toyota and Honda at ECU level and only cost about £60 plus any customs interference. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Allscann...164376?hash=item28190fe6d8:g:1JAAAOSwhQhYxFtU
There is also this product http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-VCI-...331418?hash=item210ba5bada:g:0GMAAOSwyjBW5o32
I'm actually trying to trace a problem with a 2.0D4d engine that I'm thinking could be electrical so really want to see pulse waves which is why I need a higher level of diagnostics rather than fiddle about with an oscilloscope. Maybe somebody has experience playing with techstream and knows the best way to operate/connect it
