Mini VCI Toyota Techstream Review on 4Runner 2003
Decided I didn't want to wait for the VXDiag tool from China and bought a cheap mini-VCI J2534 cable off obdii365.com. Received that Saturday night.
https://www.obdii365.com/wholesale/2018-new-mini-vci-cable-for-toyota.html
Installed TechStream v14.20.019 onto the laptop and found some drivers for the mini-vci. Techstream works fine on Windows 10 64 bit since the OS is backwards compatible with most 32 bit programs. The problem was not having all the drivers and such for the mini-vci cable. Windows installed a driver but there was no communication with the trucks ECUs.
Fought this all morning Sunday and finally found the correct information to get everything working. Part of the problem was that i did not install software for the cable yet. They got me the download link I needed for the missing software. Once I had that, I followed the directions that are included, along with some other posts that I found on various forums via google searches. Finally got the cable working and TechStream was able to communicate with the 4runner 2003.
Made changes to the customization settings that are available, like turning off the DRL, setting the remotes to unlock all doors with a single click instead of the double it had been and a few other minor changes that I found I wanted since the options were there. Everything was great until I drove the truck. VSC TRAC and VSC OFF lights were now on solid. 
Spent another couple hours fighting this. Finally got it figured out with the help of my friends. Turns out that there is a chance that whenever you connect ANY OBDII type device, including the mini-vci while running TechStream, it will trip a C1336 code. That means that the VSC TRAC system calibration has been undone and needs to be reset. Unfortunately, you can't do the recalibration using TechStream. You either need the fancy Toyota tools to do it or you do it manually using a couple wires and following a few steps that are provided in the repair manual. I used the couple wires method and was able to perform the zero point calibration, turning off the dash lights. All was fixed again.
Toyota TechStream is pretty cool, lets you set various customizations like I pointed out above and also check and verify the health of all the ECUs in the truck. There are several and each one can have it's own issues. I didn't have any codes on any of them, excepting the C1336 which took forever to show up. I had to have the truck running, TechStream hooked up and monitoring things and then move the truck a couple feet forward and back to get the code to finally show up. It will also come in handy for if I ever need to replace the brake master or vacuum booster reservoir thing, I think it's called the accumulator or something. TechStream can bleed vacuum off and reset the zero point calibration for that as well. Basically, it's a must have tool for these ECU laden, newer Toyota vehicles.

Lishi HU66 Gen 1 2 and V3 Which is Better?
Question:
The obvious difference of course is one got two lifers and the other only gets one lifter.
The major difference is how you read them after you pick them.
Basically with the single lifter when you pick it you’re going to be reading it in the opposite direction that you picked it.
So say you pick space number one going this way when you actually go to read the lock you’ll be reading it the opposite direction.
and most of the Lishi is going to have a little black arrow pointing up and down right here that this applies to so you know you got to read the opposite the way you picked it
But now basically that’s going to be the main difference here with the twin lifter when you pick it you read it the same way you pick.
For example you know if were to pick position one going up then you would also read it up.
It’s not opposite and the lock we’re going to be using for this is off of VW beetle and it has a code on the lock the code is right there 0292
and ran that through a program here and i’ve got the bidding on it which is 13223243
and i cut a key on my xhorse dolphin ii for it.
Which one is better?

Xtool X100 PAD2 Failed to Convert Nissan 4-Digit PIN Solution
I always have trouble with early Nissan’s. I’m trying to code in a Nissan Micra key 2010. I can pull the BCM code with xtool x100 pad2, and I’ve also pulled a 12 digit security code. But I can’t seem to convert them to the correct security code.
Nissan Micra and Nissan Note have 12-digit code, not 4 digits. From the plate in the glove compartment. They are Renault-based cars, so their code looks like a Renault code.
There must be a plate with 12 symbols in the glove compartment of the car. They are used for calculation.
Xhorse (VVDI Key Tool Plus & Mini OBD Tool) has this feature and works great. You just have to open the glove compartment.
Calculate password with 12-digit BCM Code
Input 12-digit BCM code

Show the BCM code and the calculated password 4-digit.

How to Add Toyota Prius Gen3 Smart Key in 4 Ways?
For Toyota Prius G3 (Generation 3) hybrid vehicles, you have a few ways to add a smart key to your car. None can be done by chicken dance, you need a programming tool.
1) Buy a virginized (sometimes called “reset”) smartkey on Ebay simply register (add) it with Techstream or other high-end automotive scan tools. No seed code is required.
2) Reset your used smar tkey then do step #1. Most auto locksmiths can reset Toyota G3 fobs with Xhorse Key Tool Max or similar.
3) Reset the smart key ECU on the car using seed/passcode approach and Techstream. Then re-register all your fobs, even if they are not virginized. Just make sure you REGISTER your fobs within 10 presses of the cars START button after car is reset. If not, there’s a chance you’ll brick the car.
BTW, PIN-online.net PINS can also also be used to generate Techstream activation codes so you can activate the latest Techstream version on your laptop without buying a license from Toyota.
4) Just pay an auto locksmith to do it. We charge $75 to cut and program a customer supplied fob. We often use our Autel IM608 immobilizer tool and Xhorse Condor key cutting machine. These tools cost thousands of dollars so if an auto locksmith will do it for $75 it’s a fair price to have it done in 20-30 minutes. If you have a working Techstream setup then option 3 is probably the best route to take, but getting Techstream installed and working properly takes a newbie a few hours of research and futzing around.

Launch X431 Enables Porsche Macan & 991 Emergency Brake Flashing
I installed a flasher on my 2022 Macan GTS 3rd brake. The brake light would flash 2 times but then go dark and create an error message on the dash.
This is called emergency brake light. Can be activated via PIWIS or Launch X431 V+/Pros Mini coding. All rear lights flash when an acceleration (de-acceleration) parameter is met.

The default parameters are when you are doing a speed above 70mph and experience a de acceleration of 0.81G’s, the rear lights (both brake lights and 3rd light) will flash.
I activated in mine and modified parameters so that it activated at any speed above 3 km/h and de-acceleration of 0.71G’s.
For the Macan the setting is in rear end electronics.
Once you turn that option on. Set this option to 1 sec and leave everything this else as is from factory.
I also enabled emergency brake flashing on 991.1, same process as the Macan.
