| Have you tried getting the utility tab up by not pressing the immobiliser tab up or messing around with the other tabs on the top |
I did try. I checked each ECU and none of them have the "Utility" tab. |

Can your Techstream automatically identify your car? Mine doesn't and I need to select the model (see pic).

Have you input the year of your car , in the list shown it starts from your then the month and remember that your car was bought in the UK in 2006 but most likely was made in 2005 then shipped over to the UK . |

| In all honesty I am not that advanced with computers , I dont even know how to post pics up on here , its a case of teaching old dogs new tricks , it is just lucky for me that my tecstream works ok for me , had to get one of my kids to get it working from the beginning as I thought when I got it all you had to do was stick the disk in and press install , same with the bluetooth for the mobile phone that came as standard I had my 120 3 years before one of my kids tuned it in on the steering wheel for it to work with my phone . |

| I always click on the year as I connect , It recognises my car when I put in Vin , but to be honest I have only used tthe tecstream to read the injector condition , and that was over a year ago , I have a blue tooth scanner now that does the same thing on my phone so I dont use the tecstream , but I will use the tecstream when I change the injectors in about 2 years time (unless they need changing sooner due to the injector seats if they start leaking , some thing that informed 120 owners check every oil change by looking up the oil drain to see if the oil strainer is dirty meaning it will soon get blocked and will be goodbye to your engine ) I will need to use the tecstream to input the new injector codes , and you do that through the utility tab . |

I'm the same as Tony when it comes to technology and Karl set all the Techstream up.
're the right hand tab, at the top, vehicle is identified as land cruiser prado 1kd ftf, all the tabs are blue and include utilities, but the one picture of live data I've got shows data list in yellow, which I must have clicked on to get it.
Karl is deffo the man for this lark. 😀 |

What year is your J120? It seems from your description that it supports ODB2. |

Yes, OBD2 is supported in new model since 2009. With OBD2 in the new models, one does not need to rely on Techstream to do some basic checkings. But for those older model, we need to rely on Techstream. |

Just had a quick read of this - as TM says you should be able to add a new key (both remote and immobiliser) without techstrean - I've done it a few times.
Don't have the procedure to hand (I'll dig it out if nobody has it) but I think the guys who sell the blank fobs on e bay often have links to the procedure in their ad! |
