    Does anyone have experience using Techstream? I'm looking for a copy with the cable, found a few on eBay but not sure if they are the real deal. any place else I can get a copy?

    Make sure you buy a version that works with a 64 bit computer. I bought a 32 bit version off ebay and realized that I wasn't computer savy enough to make it work. I went to OBD Innovations site, downloaded their software, followed their step by step instructions and it works great. although I have no experience buying from them, they definitely have their act together.

    I have been searching for a Windows 10 64 bit compatible cable & driver for Techstream for awhile without success, my old laptopon XP bit the dust. I'm in the same boat you were, can you tell me if the cable has been solid under Win 10? Would be great to know can order domestically without issues.

    Thanks.

    Like I mentioned, I bought the cable and driver off ebay and couldn't figure it out. There's stuff about modifying files and stuff that I couldn't manage. I have a Windows 7, 64 bit laptop. The OBD innovations driver was EASY. Just follow their step by step instructions and it works great. I would recommend just buying everything from OBD innovations.
