Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

I had to disable antivirus just to download pcmflash, otherwise it got flagged as a Trojan and instantly deleted.

 

@OVTune, @Kennedyusmc makes a point. The site seems alittle questionable and the software is being flagged by various virus scanners. What can you add to this?

 

Are there any issues regarding the dongle/guardant drivers showing up in Device manager?

 

I read the stock tune on my “lunch” on the job site. The refurbished laptop battery was down to 22% power by the end ! Then I WiFi hotspot-lte the files to matt on Friday. Order 2152. Still waiting to receive the tune files.

I downloaded pcmflash, gaurdant, and all drivers with all antivirus programs and windows defender off.

Isn’t pcmflash a virus at its core. It takes over the ecu and rewrites it? I’m no computer programmer.

 

No, everything looks good in device manager. It seems to be an issue with PCMflash, but I can't be sure. In any case, it worked on my wife's laptop (running Windows 8.1), so I was able to send my ECU read out this morning (04B12 built 11/22/16 for those interested).

 

Right on, hope you get your files soon!

 

Lol, at least you weren't trying to flash your truck with the laptop battery that low!!

Edit: A V6 SR????!!!! Can't even get that north of the border!

 

Me too! Been patiently watching the progress of this tune since the first post in June, lol.

 

I'm sure it'll put a smile on your face

Be aware that some of us had some brief but significant surges in power right after flashing. It calms down pretty quickly though, almost like the truck is figuring out WTF to do with throttle input lol.

Disclaimer: I have the "dreaded" 04B10 ECU version

 

Just got my tune files. As fate would have it my tank is nearly empty so I'll need to fill up on the way home. I'm thinking it would be wise to see the difference between stock and the 87 tune before trying out the 91 tune, but given the timing, there is a little voice whispering in my ear.

 

It's christmas - go w/ a tank of golden gas and enjoy the extra ponies!

 

Lucky! Can't wait for mine, hopefully I'm not too far behind you!

 

FUCKING HELL MAN, just do it lol! You will never go back to stock.

 

What happened to @Comb ?

Tune applied? Out driving and computer off? Bricked it? Whatup?!

 

Your kidding right??

 

Anyone else that has ordered a kit still see it as "Label created USPS awaiting item "? Order 2179

 

2 days - still no guardant unlock code to get my ecu files.

I guess Mat is buried in requests right now...

 

He'll be on vacation until Jan. 2nd. At least we'll have something to look forward to next year.

 

That sounds like the battery is on it's way out....no way a good 100% charged battery should be down to 22% reading the ECU even on a laptop with the smallest battery capacity. This is not a power intensive operation. If I were you I would NOT flash the ECU with that laptop unless it's plugged into a power source. You don't want to take a chance on the battery shitting the bed in the middle of the write to the ECU.
