    I have been looking into Tech stream and can’t find any info as far as which one I can buy that is legit. There is a lot out there. Thanks for any advice.

    Ya. I guess I didn’t mean literally legit. I should have chosen my words more wisely. More of a download that you all are having good success with and not just going on the web myself to try and figure it out. Also if there are any echinomical obdII port to usb connectors that are not as expensive as tactrix that will still get the job done.

    the current version is 13.10.xx but I think you can get the lite version at around 12.30.xx ???

    I think I have 12.10 or 12.20 not sure since I usually set my options and ignore it until I get a new Toyota, then go searching for the latest lite version :)

    Well I’m looking at flashing the new manual ecu that’s being discussed but don’t know if I want to rely on the knockoff cable. I will probably get OVtune in the next year so I might just spring for the tactrix. Not sure what to do. I could just wait to see if toyota will release the proper tsb.

    Check my post here...I have the OVtune, so I just used the Tactrix cable that came with that. The version listed here is from 2017 but I used it to install the TSB last night with no issues on a Windows 2010 laptop.

    I think since ver 12.xx you can install on win 7 and above. other older versions req'd xp and 32bit.

    Lights, electric side steps and 3" lift. But I want to add a four link rear kit.
    I have the OVtune cable and interface will this work for Techstream?

    Yes, it will. The big deal is that you just need to select the Openport (Tactrix) connection the first time that you connect with TS.

    Easy TSB tune flash and free customizations, like killing the seat belt chimes.
