    Anyone have any luck getting a Mini-VCI cable to work on Windows 10? I can't seem to find the drivers and all the links seem to be from 5 years ago and are dead.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I haven't tried mine in forever, I keep a Windows 7 virtual machine on my current Win 11 laptop for old automotive stuff though like that cable, my BMW tuning software, split second/URD crap etc

    I probably should do the same. It amazes me that they don't keep up with technology.

    try keeping up any 4 software packages of your choosing up to date with any OS of your choosing. even just one could easily consume months of all your time. 10, and 11 are much more restrictive OS environments to work in, with far more prohibitive default settings. a lot of people doing publicly-offered side-projects gave up after the discontinuation of windows 7 because even just installing 'non-permitted'(ie: didn't pay microsoft a fat fee to be 'permitted') became a huge customer support issue to bypass all the default settings just to finish the installation process.

    coding is a lot like frame-off restorations of old cars. and not many people are doing that either. many would rather turn the vehicle in for scrap instead of reinvent it to the new standard...

    Still no luck. Ended up using an old version running XP. Oddly the old version still worked on my 2022. I guess Toyota hasn't updated their technology either.
