Great news, the Techstream TIS software for the MINI-VCI Interface cable now works with 64 bit Windows operating systems and has been tested on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. The installation requires a few more steps, but we have included a step by step guide. Please make sure you have the latest version of Java installed.
- Install MVCI Driver for TOYOTA on Windows 64-bit Computer: A laptop running 64-bit version of Windows 7/8. Mine is actually Windows 8 x64, but for Windows 7 the configuration procedure should be identical. This is the step which most people stumble upon as “MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi” installer indeed does not work on Windows x64.
- This is an Openport 2.0 driver and J2534 DLL-only install for users who only intend to use non-EcuFlash software with their Openport 2.0. This install also contains a few J2534 coding examples for developers in C.
First of all, i’ll tell you this MINI VCI with Techstream works 100% on my 2012 FJ Cruiser! Very pleased with the result, wanted to get rid of the annoying no seat belt warning buzzer.
!!PLEASE BE AWARE!!: This does not work on Windows 7 64 bit.
It will run on Windows 8 32 bit.
It will run on Windows 7 32 bit and was made for Windows XP (Either 32 or 64 bit work excellent)
A previous comment on here says you should be tech savy to use this cable. Very true.
If you have Something other than the previous Operating systems, ie if you have Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 8 64 bit, this WILL NOT WORK Properly. The MVCI driver will NOT install, I can promise you that.
But do not fear, here’s the important thing you need to know. You can get it to work perfectly,you just need a Virtual Machine with a bootable .iso of Windows XP (32 or 64 bit doesn’t matter). Boot that and install this techstream software on the VM, then connect to your car. voila! works.
Oh, 5/5 for this MINI-VCI J2534 cable as an alternative to the OEM $500 Mongoose cable!

For Toyota Mini VCI TIS Software Installation Steps:
1. Download and install a trial version of WinRAR
- Toyota Techstream 8.00.034.rar
- Techstream_Update_V8.10.021.rar
- MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.rar
- TIS KEY.rar
3. Now open WinRAR again, navigate to the temp folder with unpacked files and double click the TISKey.exe in WinRAR.
The TISKey.exe is actually a self-extracting (SFX) RAR archive file. Once executed, it simply unpacks and copies the IT3System.ini file to the Techstream folder. Extract that IT3System.ini to the same folder for now.
This is the step which most people stumble upon as “MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi” installer indeed does not work on Windows x64. The workaround is to install it manually, as follows:
msiexec /a 'C:tempMVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi' /qb TARGETDIR=c:tempmvci
This will extract the content of the MSI file to the c:tempmvci folder:
content of c:tempmvci to 'C:Program Files (x86)XHorse ElectronicsMVCI Driver for TOYOTA TIS'
You should now see two new devices: “Universal Serial Bus ControllersUSB Serial Converter” and “Ports (COM & LPT)USB Serial Port (COM5)”.

If you see this, it means your MINI VCI is up and running under Windows x64 and can be used by other programs, such as Techstream.
IMPORTANT: Some people have reported that updating firmware on this “cheap clone” cable may render it dead. So, the Firmware Update Tool should not be used for anything, but checking that the device is connected and working properly.
To activate it, copy the IT3System.ini you extracted before to 'C:Program Files (x86)Toyota DiagnosticsTechstreamEnv'.
Alternatively, you may copy two files from the C:Program Files (x86)XHorse ElectronicsMVCI Driver for TOYOTA TISProgramFilesFolderToyota DiagnosticsTechstreamEnv' to 'C:Program Files (x86)Toyota DiagnosticsTechstreamEnv', which seem to do the trick as well.

The 'mvci-x64.zip' contains the *.REG file that has to be imported to the Registry (extract, right click, then Merge)
A trick here is the 'Wow6432Node' in key path, which is the location the 32-bit applications running on 64-bit OS get redirected to when accessing Registry. The 'PassThruSupport.04.04' seems to be the place Techstream looks into for available VIMs (sub-keys appear in the 'VIM Select' menu in Techstream).

So far, test the cable with 2013 4Runner, 2004 Sienna and 1997 Camry LE/4cyl, and it seems to work fine with all of them. Absence of (L) line connection means no support for ECU re-flashing. Option customization/clearing DTC is possible (already verified).
