According to this site, it's compatible. I wonder if it is missing anythign? Anyone have one of these?

I think it will access the regular vehicle emissions readouts that are required by the government to be available to anyone with a scan tool.

You won't be able to access any of the other Toyota options, diagnostics, or programming though, as that requires the dealer's scantool with the Toyota FlashROM card that carries all of the software.

I tried a few DTCs on their website. They have no way of entering subcodes.

I put in one or two battery codes, it came up correctly.
Then some HV codes. P0a90 was wrong, and p0a92 came up with the description really assigned to p0a90.
So who knows?
