Techstream

I am finally getting round to getting Techstream for the Yaris.  I have a few questions if anyone can help -

1/  I am going to use the genuine software and just get the licence for 5 Euros a day when I need it but does it run with Windows 10 these days without too much faffing?

2/  Can anyone recommend a cheap cable which will definitely work with the genuine Toyota software?

3/  And lastly, I don't want to risk using any dodgy software that comes with the cable.  Will I be able to ignore the Chinese software entirely and just load Techstream and use the cable or do the cables need their own software to function?

Thanks for any replies. 🙂

1/ Yes, runs on windows 10 without issues.

2/ Lots on eBay, just don't load the software.

3/ Not sure how the 'pay as you go' works but I would imagine the mini vci diagnostic cable will work fine.

Why wouldn't you load the software?

I've read that the (pirated) software often contains a virus.

It works perfect for me.

There's no need for it to be pirated because it is free to download from Toyota.

The pirated versions have 'open licences' by the use of a keygen which often contain unwanted programs etc. which he doesn't want so that's why he's not wanting to download the software that comes with the cable.

Then, buy the cable and download it the software from Toyota, it's free.

Mine works perfect.  I have no worries about it.

That's what I've been trying to tell him.

Something like this.

Thanks all.  I  always intended to use the Toyota software as I mentioned but my main concern was that perhaps the cable wouldn't actually work without using its own software.
