you said this will come with the hacked version of techstream right?

i wasnt even interested in this till i noticed/read you'll said you could change C-BEST features.

+1 I found him too. I'll be ordering as soon as I finish my black interior. I'm sure he'll be wondering why all of a sudden he starts getting more orders, hehe. I just hope he doesn't start raising his prices.

Very simple to setup. Install Techstream first and then install the X-Horse driver and its done. Everything comes on the CD thats included with the cable.

I had trouble installing it on Windows 7 64bit, so I installed it on Windows XP laptop. I think it doesn't like 64 bit systems.

You don't have to degrade, you can install XP and run it from Virtual PC.

I have the xhorse as well and funny enough tied using it on a windows 7 32 laptop and a xp laptop and neither will communicate properly giving me a VIM error for communication errors with and "X" the pc to cable and an "X" cable to car .
The idiot seller told me it does not work with anything but newer toyotas and even when i tried that it failed as well. It even showed a pic of my ls400 in the screen captures and they told me it does not work and didn't answer why it was pictured in the listing.
Any chance i could get a copy of your drivers ?

Let us know how easy or painful it is to get working and change the C-BEST settings.

I still haven't ordered mine. Don't have an XP laptop, yet.

So I ordered the same cable as everyone else but am having trouble with installing the MVCI Drivers on Win 7 64bit. Anyone else have this issue and what did you do? Tried looking around online but didn't get far. Trying not to do the virtual pc because I don't have a copy of XP around. This in combo with the ELM will be handy. ELM is nice for on the road if something happens, then hook it up to the Techstream once I get home. Now if I can only get this working.....
