Introducing the universal diagnostic cable MINI VCI — a professional tool for comprehensive diagnostics, coding, programming, and adaptation of vehicles from brands Toyota, Lexus, Mitsubishi, and Honda. The cable features a USB Type-A interface (standard computer USB), ensuring simple and reliable connection to a laptop or PC running Windows XP, 7, 8, 10 (including 64-bit versions).
After installing the official Toyota Techstream software (both Russian and English versions are supported), you gain access to the full functionality of dealer-level diagnostic equipment. This includes deep diagnostics of all vehicle electronic systems, decoding of error codes (DTC) with detailed descriptions, reading and resetting parameters, active testing of actuators, and the ability to reprogram control units (ECUs).
Detailed instructions for installing Toyota Techstream on Windows 7, 8.1, 10 (x64 bit) are available at the link.
The MINI VCI cable is compatible with all Toyota and Lexus models manufactured since 1996. It also supports diagnostics of Mitsubishi vehicles (Outlander XL series and newer) and Honda. Specialized software is used for these brands: Honda HDS, Mitsubishi MUT-3, Toyota TIS Techstream, as well as utilities for activating hidden functions — ETACS Decoder and MMCodingWriter for Mitsubishi.
