I saw on another thread that you are looking to replace a BCM. It is my understanding that this unit can make all the changes necessary to reconfigure a new (to you) BCM. You would basically go to the BCM RPO Reprogram section and turn on/off the RPO codes that match your car. (see below)

Check out this thread towards the end. I just bought a TopDon scanner and it's awesome. Bi-directional, activate sensors, see and record live data. Usually like $70 or so but got mine for free with my Amazon points. Reads all the modules. Highly recommend. Also has some alternative scanners listed.

Have questions for you guys:
1. The Tech2win program.....is it correct that this is for diagnostics only; not bi-directional?
2. What TOPDON unit did you get? I did a search and found way too many choices.
Thanks,

May need to replace my mag ride control shocks soon. Planning on going the Bilstein route but then need to reprogram to eliminate them from the system. I think I read a shop charges 200 to do it. Does this allow you to do that reprogramming?

Can I get VCXNano and use it with the windows OBD2 software of my choice? After all I do have my own software.....
I have generic mode on my Toyota dealer software. It lets me graph each cylinder's ignition firing. That's what I need to do right now....

For instance, this one supports the Corvettes protocol can iso 15765-4 https://a.co/d/hxmmhxe shouldn't this work as well?
