Hello, everyone! Recently I‘ve got myself the MINI VCI cable to play with. As it turned out, with little manual tweaking it is possible, contrary to the popular belief, to get it working under Windows 64-bit. So, I decided to share the instructions, which hopefully will save someone a headache of dealing with dual boot and virtual machines with Windows XP. Equipment: • MINI VCI cable for TOYOTA TIS Techstream. I‘ve bought mine from Amazon for around $30. The cable is about 4’ long, with translucent casing and “MINI-VCI J2534 Standard OBDII Communication Interface” sticker: The cable comes with a mini CD with drivers and Toyota Techstream software.

If not, right click each failing device, select Install Driver, then ”Browse my Computer” and locate to “C: Program Files (x86) XHorse Electronics MVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS” (enable the ”include subfolders” flag). Click ”Next” and wait until drivers.

Mine was advertised as “Newest V8.00.034 MINI VCI for TOYOTA TIS Techstream Diagnostic Cable & Software”. The “newest” refers to the version of bundled Techstream, rather than the cable firmware, as cable shows serial number “MVCI006000001” and firmware version 1.4.1, which is widely known as “cheap clone of the original XHorse MVCI cable”. • 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. The content of bundled mini-CD: The Techstream, MVCI drivers and TIS Key all can be on the Internet as well. Steps: • Download and install a trial version of • Using WinRAR Unpack the following files from mini-CD to a temp folder anywhere on your hard drive (e.g. - Toyota Techstream 8.00.034.rar - Techstream_Update_V8.10.021.rar - MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.rar - TIS KEY.rar • Now open WinRAR again, navigate to the temp folder with unpacked files and double click the TISKey.exe in WinRAR.

The TISKey.exe is actually a self-extracting (SFX) RAR archive file. Once executed, it simply unpacks and copies the IT3System.ini file to the Techstream folder. Extract that IT3System.ini to the same folder for now. • Installing 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: • 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: • 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' • Plug the MINI VCI cable to the USB port. • Open the Device Manager and locate two failing devices in the list.

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)”. • 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. • Now install Techstream software using 'Techstream 8.00.034.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. • 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.'
