Re: Mvci Driver For Toyota X64 Architecture
Kuldip Mansager
If you own a Toyota, Lexus or Scion vehicle and want to diagnose or program it using your computer, you will need a special device called Mini-VCI cable that connects your car's OBD-II port to your PC's USB port. However, in order to use this device, you will also need a software called Techstream that can communicate with your car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) and a driver called MVCI (Mini Vehicle Communication Interface) that can recognize your device.
While installing Techstream and MVCI driver on a 32-bit Windows system is relatively easy, many users have trouble loading them on a 64-bit Windows system. This is because the MVCI driver installer does not work on x64 systems and requires some manual steps to make it work. In this article, we will show you how to install MVCI driver for Toyota x64 architecture using some simple methods and tools.
By installing MVCI driver on your x64 system, you will be able to enjoy the following benefits: You will be able to use the latest version of Techstream software that supports more features and functions.You will be able to use your Mini-VCI cable on any x64 Windows system without compatibility issues.You will be able to improve the performance and stability of your device and software.
mvci driver for toyota copy and paste files and folders step A Mini-VCI cable with firmware version 1.4.1 or higher. You can check the firmware version by plugging in your device and opening Device Manager on your PC. You should see a device named M-VCI under Other Devices.A Windows x64 system with at least 4 GB of RAM and 10 GB of free disk space. You can use Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 as long as they are x64 versions.A Techstream software that matches your vehicle model and year. You can download the latest version of Techstream V16.00.017 from this link or use any other version that you have.A NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher. You can download it from this link or install it from the Techstream setup file.A MVCI driver for Toyota x64 architecture. You can download it from this link or use the one that comes with your Mini-VCI CD.A Techstream patch that can activate your software without registration key. You can download it from this link or use any other patch that works.
The installation process consists of four main steps: installing Techstream software and NET Framework, installing MVCI driver and updating device drivers, activating Techstream software using patch, and running Techstream software and selecting VIM interface. Here are the detailed instructions for each step:
You'll need a miniVCI cable from eBay or amazon and most of these will come with a pirated copy of Techstream. I can't condone the use of pirated software but you can freely and legitimately download it from here -tech.eu/DiagnosticTools/Setup and pay for a block of time to use it. Either way, you'll need that cable so it's a matter for your own conscience where to go from there.
I was finding that the OBDLink needed to be re-paired at almost every startup. I have a Vline in my RX and was spending an awful lot of time trying to iron out the kinks in getting them to talk to each other.

I have the mini-vci drivers for win10 64bit if you need them. Depending on the VM technology you use you might find the connection isn't very reliable. Vmware worked better than virtualbox in my experience, but if you want to be as stable as possible your best bet is to use bootcamp and dual-boot windows. This is only available on the intel macs, they removed it from the M1s due to the architecture difference.
If you want something simple to use then Carista, with their dongle, is probably the easiest thing to use. Works on your phone, no cables. But it can be expensive to continually subscribe and you don't get the full diagnostic capabilities of Toyota's Techstream but it will read all fault codes and allow you to set all available customisations.
If you have an intel mac and enough disk space I would strongly recommend using Boot Camp and installing windows natively. VirtualBox was highly unreliable in my experience, and if you're messing about with talking to your car you really want stability.
After it's done it will boot straight into windows every time, which is annoying. You can fix this by rebooting and holding the option key until you get the boot menu, select the macOS disk to boot into macOS. Then when you're back in macOS, go to System Preferences -> Startup Disk, unlock the pane and select the macOS volume, then click back to come out of that pane. Then it will default to macOS on startup and you can boot into windows by holding the option key.
You are very kind indeed, and thorough! - thank you. I'm a bit short of space as docker (64Gb) Win10 (32Gb with nothing installed!) occupy much of the meagre drive I specced it with. However I am hopeful that i can get it to be steady/reliable as we have managed to get the Dynamometer working reliably at the local Ducati garage, along with Ducati service software - all running Win10 64 Pro on Debian hosts. I think the key has been perhaps a lucky combination of Extension packs and in those cases a pci-e USB board. I'm super impressed with the support and general helpfulness of this lexus club. Thank you all very much.
If possible, I'd like an adapter that will work with OBDAutoDoctor so I can use it with my non-lexus vehicles too. OBDAutoDoctor requires an ELM327 device, so I wonder if such an adapter will work with techstream?
I already have a wired ELM327 device and I was wondering if it will work with Techstream. I have downloaded Techstream tonight, but can't seem to find a way to check if it will work with my device without buying a license. Any idea if that is possible?
It required Windows XP, and was tricky to set up. After all, it somewhat working.
Note that Techstream is integrated into a web-based support system, and aftermarket kits like above come without access to the online resources.
I think a standard ODB2 reader will be able to read the most of the errors, but may be unable to reset them or run systems tests.
After 10 years of almost fault free driving I had a an engine light showing on my RX400. It happened after very very heavy rain and a 40 mile journey through flooded roads and the sodden beauty of the Yorkshire Wolds!!
I tried 2 different OBD readers. A wired version which allowed me to clear the engine/hybrid fault even though it did not show that the fault existed. I discussed it with the manufacturer (China),they said I would need to buy their 400 OBD reader to read the fault codes on a Lexus RX400!! The 2nd Bluetooth OBD reader when paired with the DrPrius software App showed me the fault code but not the detailed fault information, that I needed.. I must admit though that the DrPrius App was very good showing detailed information on the hybrid Battery condition. Thankfully good batteries and system in my situation.
