    If this has already been answered, I couldn't find it. Has anyone yet connected their mini vci and techstream to their Prime? I did that the other day to change the reverse noise to one beep. When it wanted me to choose the vehicle, nothing on the list was newer than 2015. I still got it done, but I imagine that continuing to use it might cause problems. Or at least fail to access all the codes and settings.

    Or, since I don't need it often, maybe Carista would fit the bill with less hassle.

    What version of techstream? Mini vci cables typically come with an old pirated version. Carista is the best legal option.

    Not sure without booting up the old laptop. It is pre-Prime, though.

    Thanks for such a complete listing, @schja01. I copied it into my notes for future reference.

    Still wondering who has used Techstream on a prime and what version.
