    @tonered, will this V14.20.019 TS work to program additional smart key fob on my 19’ with push to start? I was able to customized some door chimes, turn signals etc…I was thinking of getting an extra fob from a dealer. Thanks!

    I been using Techstream with the cheap Amazon Dongle for 1 yaer now. I can connect to many modules, TPMS module, etc. I disabled my seat chime in my 2015 Tacoma and my buddies 2018 4runner fine.

    I alway have issues connecting to the ECU to view live data. It worked maybe 2 times out of 15 trying to connect. I alway get an error. Since I connected twice, why do i get an error most of the time ONLY trying to connect to the ECU?

    Is this due to the cheap dongle or a software issue?

    I am almost tempted to purchase the original TIS MongoosePro interface dongle for $500... :(

    Most likely HW. You can verify with the known, good versions of TS in the ECU Update thread.

    Yes.

    Does anybody know why I'm getting Connection Error (S302-05) when trying to connect to a Tacoma? Should the truck be off, in accessory, or in ignition?

    Ignition should be on with the truck not running.

    Did you have the correct communications cable selected in TS? I've forgotten that before :)

    Is there a way to make the fog lights stay on when the high beams are used?

    Hey experts out there. I am rather new to this ECU programing so I was hoping for some clarification on the differences between Techstream and vF tuner.

    From what I can summarize it looks like Techstream is a way to modify some of the vehicle's overall features where vF tuner is where you modify the engine and transmission functionality, correct?

    Both seem to require the OBD 2 connector and USB cable, is this the same item I got when I purchased OVtune kit back in 2017?
