No and no.

 

Techstream is software that runs on a computer, and connects with a car through a compatible interface.

 

Its possible your Maxidas is as good as common ODB2 readers and perhaps better. It would be interesting to know what you can do with it as you progress. For example can you add keys and do device controls like operate windows or electric motors on the car. Probably can't do ECU updates where you need special Toyota access.

Some users have a hacked Techstream PC download combined with a designed for purpose obd2 hardwired interface (Mini VCI) that connects to the PC. The software requires registry edits and may only work on XP and Win7. It is limited since its hacked and not supported by Toyota. The legitimate version starts at Techstream Lite with a one year subscription for $1600. https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInfoPortal/appmanager/t3/ti?_pageLabel=ti_ts_lite&_nfpb=true

Most of us get by with an ODB2 bluetooth interface and free apps like Dr Prius (hv battery data and a proprietary test algorithm although some codes and clearing are included) and other apps like "Car Scanner" or "Torque" (Torque is Android only I believe). Some of the apps are picky on the OBD2 device and the free apps usually don't provide all or any of the controls and flashing capabilities like Techstream.

I find this ODB2 scanner functional:
