    has anyone else noticed when you search "toyota techstream" on aliexpress you no longer see items for sale that specifically says "toyota techstream"? its like the Toyota Lawyers won something somewhere because you can no longer purchase the software, heck even the USB OBD2 cables... none says Toyota Techstream anymore... hmmm

    so far this is the only Techstream software I could find.... something is up here... cant put my finger on it tho.

    I believe you have it right I have to go and look at the site I thought the other one I was looking at doesn't mention the key tool it just mentions tecstream and obd is orange but this is the site.. I'll find it in a minute but this is correct site .

    This has existed for years just as you see it in the blue trim just like this it never said Toyota on it but I don't care what it said on it and tech software that was a few versions behind the actual date . Many moons ago . This company has a few versions
