Top 3 hot diagnostics for Toyota
2 Denso Intelligent Tester IT2
TOP 1 – mini vci Techstream cable ($26.99)
– Cheap Xhorse-made knock-off
– Popular Techstream 10.10.039 (tested by thousands of users)
– High reliability using SMD chip, and certified by CE and FCC
– ALL communication protocols supported for Toyota (1996 – latest):
K-Line ISO 9141/KWP 2000 ISO 14230-4/SAE J1850 PWM/SAE J1850 VPW/CAN 2.0B ISO 11898 /CAN ISO 15765-4
Note:
The knock off cables use 1.4.1 or 1.4.6 (latest). The “real” cables use 2.0.1 or 2.0.4 (latest). They are all fake of course but the good fakes use the same firmware as the real Xhorse cable. The 1.4.1 firmware does not support active tests. The cable will work on 10 year old Toyotas like some in the GS forum have said but they will not work on the 2011 Prius as some on PriusChat have said.
TOP 2 – Intelligent Tester ITII ($285)
– Newest version: 2016.7
– Multilanguage: English/ German/ French/ Spanish/ Italian/ Chinese
– More accurate diagnosis through CAN communication for 16pin Toyota (1996 – 2010 better):
– Speed: 50 times faster than the conventional
– Easy operation: touch panel 5.7 inch full color LCE display
TOP 3 – VXDIAG VCX NANO for TOYOTA ($89)
– better hardware design than mini vci and Denso IT2
– multi-system: WINDOWS XP and Windows 7/8/10
– multilanguage: Chinese, English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, ect.
– WIFI wireless connection

Conclusion:
Mini vci cable is more suitable for the green hand to do basic diagnosis
Denso IT2 is ideal for technicians because of its high speed during operation
VXDIAG NANO for Toyota at a reasonable price, is the best choice for individual users and professional repairing men with better hardware design and powerful function (ECU diagnosis & programming, key programming).
