The cable is about 4’ long, with translucent casing and “MINI-VCI J2534 Standard OBDII Communication Interface” sticker: The cable comes with a mini CD with drivers and Toyota Techstream software. Mine was advertised as “Newest V8.00.034 MINI VCI for TOYOTA TIS Techstream Diagnostic Cable & Software”. The “newest” refers to the version of bundled Techstream, rather than the cable firmware, as cable shows serial number “MVCI006000001” and firmware version 1.4.1, which is widely known as “cheap clone of the original XHorse MVCI cable”. A laptop running 64-bit version of Windows 7/8.Mine is actually Windows 7 圆4, but for Windows 8 the configuration procedure should be identical.

The Techstream, MVCI drivers and TIS Key all can be found on the mini disk, but I will leave a. Zip download containing them if you guys need them.

The workaround is to install it manually, as follows: This is the step most people stumble on as “MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi” installer indeed does not work on Windows 圆4. Open the Command Prompt in Administrator Mode, and run the following command line: Mini vci j2534 install# Msiexec /a "C:\temp\MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi" /qb TARGETDIR=c:\temp\mvci Go ahead and close the Command Prompt window, and open up the c:\temp\mvci folder : This will extract the content of the MSI file to the c:\temp\mvci folder. Delete the “MVCI Driver for TOYOTA.msi” there.
