    The mini VCI adapter with a bootleg copy of Techstream is readily available online for $30-40, depending on how long you're willing to wait for shipping.

    I don't understand the question.
    What are you trying to do with the setup?

    Is the software for an Android phone? Windows laptop? Windows phone (yes they still make those too) :D something else maybe?

    Is the hardware Bluetooth ELM327, WiFi, USB or Rs-323?

    Gotta love questions that lead to a million available options.

    You can find it cheaper on AliExpress, but it may take a month or more to get it. If you go this route, make sure the seller has high ratings. They list items sold by sellers with 10% positive reviews alongside those with >90% positive reviews.
