I did carry a Notebook with the
Toyota Techstream software and USB Dongle with me, when I did the Transafrica and while travelling in south america.
Driving with an modern 4x4 in remote areas - could made that to a valuable gear.
I did just use it for resetting errors, what happens twice in Africa - not in south america. But if something would go wrong, I can phone to my european mechanic and try to solve or troubleshoot issues.
Getting spares abroad need extended time abroad, too if you ask a toyota mechanic. 60 Days fright, 40 days Express Airfright was named severall times. With Toyota many Parts are "on Stock" to be honest, but at sample an european model has severall stuff equipped what a car in Africa/south america dont have. (2nd Aircon, 2 batteries, same kind of diesel particle filter and so on..)
Here I wrote down my experiences, how to get spares abroad:

In my eyes everytime something can go wrong, but it rarely does. I wish you luck on your further trip - hoping that (c)ovid restrictions get solved!
