Great news this week for Toyota owners, mechanics and technicians; Toyota Techsteam is now certified for use with an inexpensive Mongoose MFC and the software has now been made available for short term subscription.

Official as of November 3rd, you can now subscribe to the Toyota Techstream software, purchase a Mongoose MFC interface cable and in your hands is the full power of the same professional level tool used by the Toyota dealers!

Mongoose MFC - Toyota, Honda, Nissan, VW, and Others

The Mongoose MFC is a low-cost, high-performance vehicle network interface that connects a laptop directly to the Bus Network via the OBD-II connector. Drew Technologies designed this product to be affordable for Professional Technicians, CarPCs, the aftermarket, and automotive enthusiasts.

The package includes:
* Mongoose MFC vehicle interface
* Installation CD with device driver (J2534 compatible)

The Mongoose MFC includes a J2534 driver and delivers full-speed (12mps) USB 2.0 performance. This version is compatible with most European and Asian vehicles.

Diagnostics with the Mongoose MFC for Toyota, Honda, Nissan, VW

The Mongoose MFC is a USB pass-thru device that utilizes the SAE J2534-1 API. What this means is that the Mongoose MFC uses a standard communications interface to the vehicle, allowing it to work with 3rd party diagnostic applications. Several different diagnostics and data logging applications are currently supported by the Mongoose, with more being added all of the time.
