Opus IVS Mongoose-Plus J2534 OEM Vehicle Interface Cable - Toyota/Lexus/Scion OEM Reprogramming and Diagnostics

I installed the Keyless Entry Wired Keypad (Part # LB5Z7820555E) on my 2025 Explorer ST. I could not get FORScan to activate it due to how new the vehicle is. I purchased the Mongoose Plus Ford2 Adapter to program the Ford Wired Keyless Entry Keypad via FDRS. The process took about 3 minutes and was very simple. I was also able to update a problematic ABS module that would throw soft DTC's for whatever reason. Once the update was installed, no more faults with the ABS module. I also used this on my 2024 F150 to update some modules that were needed. I have read some reviews about receiving the device used and already activated. I received my Mongoose adapter sealed in the box with a clear, round sticker. No Bag, the cable is twist tied and connected to the Mongoose. You will be prompted to activate the device by entering your personal info. If you receive an adapter that does not prompt you to activate, you may have received someones Amazon Return. The Adapter build quality is very good. The cable is USB-A to B and screws into the adapter. The cable is high quality, heavy duty, shielded and has strain relief on both cable ends. All in all this adapter is great and is the least expensive adapter supported by FDRS. While this will program new modules, perform updates, clear DTC's, etc., you will still need FORScan to modify things like disabling ASS, Bambi Mode, etc. AFAIK, FDRS does not offer the ability to modify those settings. Would definitely recommend. You get what you pay for!

Great Product with Great Customer Service Toyota Mongoose Cable: I purchased a Drew Technologies Toyota MFC2 (green case) that was USB only a few years ago. Have a couple Toyota’s myself as well as few more with friends and family that I look after occasionally. I concluded I had saved enough with DIY and had enough Toyota’s to justify the cost of an official cable for troubleshooting. Being a DIY’er I didn’t think the Bluetooth option was worth the extra cost as little as I was expecting to use it compared to a shop. The cable was hassle free and worked every time after activating Techstream. I ended up using it more than I expected as my Toyota’s are aging. Found it annoying to be tethered with a USB cable trying to troubleshoot. Had to walk back and forth so much checking the screen while taking readings or listening for sounds while Techstream was doing a test. Decided I would upgrade to Bluetooth if a new Mongoose version was released, and sure enough it did recently. Purchased the Toyota version of the new line of Mongoose-Plus, with Bluetooth this time around. Been great to be wireless; I can walk around with a Windows tablet in hand or sit in a comfy chair troubleshooting an issue. A nice upgrade, the USB cable is detachable for all versions including USB only. It uses a USB-A connector and has screws to secure it. Nice feature if the cable is damaged, for example closing it in a car door. The new case seems even more robust than the prior version as well. Bluetooth connection is easy and reliable, pair it once and the interface driver takes care of the rest when Techstream first loads. An upgrade as well, this version has external status lights. OPUS Customer Service: I had the chance to experience customer service from OPUS IVS, the now owner of Drew Technologies. I purchased through the new OPUS IVS store on Amazon, with the cable shipped / fulfilled by Amazon. When it arrived, I could not get the Bluetooth to work. After reading the user guide, I suspected I was sent a USB only version by mistake. I contacted OPUS through Amazon’s help system – within minutes I had a response with a phone number, a real number not an 800. When I called, it was the desk phone of an OPUS sales manager at their main office in Michigan. We talked, emailed some pictures, and internal discussion on their end. Not sure how it happened, but indeed I had been sent a USB only version. The sales manager called me back a couple times with updates throughout the day as things progressed. By that afternoon they had a Bluetooth version with FedEx for overnight delivery. Top notch customer service on resoling that issue – mistakes happen, and they made it right as fast as possible.

Worked with Toyota GTS+ Diagnostic software. Easy to setup and use, very pleased. Have not tested with programming yet.

Worked great used it for a year before leaving the automotive industry. A little spendy but if you work for Toyota or Lexus and have your own techstream or GTS plus it's a must

Product works perfectly with Ford FDRS, is high quality and is at a reasonable price point. Some feel that the price is high but for the quality of the product and their support, as well as comparing to the other officially supported options such as Bosch, this device is 1/4 the price. If you need to use FJDS/FDRS the Mongoose is the way to go. Plus it will work with FORScan. In the future I will be purchasing the SuperGoose and have zero reservations. I had the opportunity to work with Opus/Drew customer service and cannot say enough good things. The gentleman that assisted me was very responsive and corrected an issue that wasn’t really the fault of theirs.

Bought this last summer and it has already quit. Had to go through a whole deal just to make sure it was the device that failed for sure. I get through all that and think since its under the 1 year warranty, that they will let me swap it out with a new one. Nope they want me to be down for 2 months while they repair mine. When i asked about getting it replaced vs repaired since its under warranty, they ghosted me. I run a shop where i absolutly need a tuner device like this to be dependable. And yes sometimes things that are good can have a bad one here and there but they should own that and not expect me and my business to suffer a huge setback for their faulty equipment. Hopefully they step in and make it right asap.

This review is for the Ford version. Works perfectly as intended if you read the instructions and know how to use it. I'm using it with Windows 10 / 11, and a standard name-brand laptop that's a few years old. I use several software packages including FDRS, FJDS, and the third party app Forscan, and have zero issues. Connects every single time, no read/write errors, and it's very well built. Conforms to every J2534 standard that I've tested.

Received the interface but can't activate it as the provided drivers on their site are not working. Tried contacting them severally with no response. Counting loses at our shop.

I purchased this to replace my older MDI and it worked flawlessly with Techline Connect. No issues and mongoose Customer Support was very helpful in ensuring that I was making a informed decision. I was hesitant at first it would fully meet my needs but in the end. Not one issue.

While this device works impressively well wired, the Bluetooth does not work and cannot be found on any of my laptops. Save your money and buy a wired version instead if you can live without Bluetooth. Tried contacting opus ivs through their email but got no response

Llego rápido trabaja bien

Awesome
