What exactly can you do with a Fotga Techstream cable?

I have seen people on here say they have purchased this amazon cable but I am wondering what you can do with it.

I've read people use it to get rid of the rear back up beeping, but what else? Is it mainly a diagnostic tool?

Thanks as always!!!

Yes, you can use it to read error codes, reprogram keys, and all the customizations in the manual that "require dealer intervention"

Just received my cable in the mail today. Made the following customizations in less than 5 minutes:

Turned OFF seatbelt beeps (driver's and passengers)
Turned OFF reverse beeps (set to single beep)
Changed auto light timer to 0 (headlights if set to auto will immediately turn off after opening driver door)
Changed wireless unlock to single press (one press unlocks all doors)

In case anyone is wondering how to install the software and cable drivers. I used an old Macbook running Windows 7 32-bit in Bootcamp. Here are the instructions:

1) Download the latest version of TIS from here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35530
2) Download the MVCI driver, TISKey,exe, and PDF instructions. Follow the instructions verbatim (including selecting Europe as country) I used the latest version of TIS from step 1 https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=75C933EE49501E9A&id=75C933EE49501E9A%21126
3) ENJOY!

My antivirus software warns there is all kind of creepy things in the MVCI driver.
How did you get past that stage ?

I think others have reported those as false positives.. I don't use antivirus (primary mac user) so I wouldn't know.

I uploaded the MVCI32.dll file to https://www.virustotal.com/en/

result:
