    Yeah I just figured that link out today. Bought mine 2 days ago so don’t have the purple thing yet. I guess I use this activation code he texted me in the flash manager

    Agreed I am a by the numbers guy, I see 2016tacoma go the questions. It is pretty linear so its not a huge deal. I just found myself skipping around a bit. Overall, though great experience so far!

    I think if process goes uninterrupted, 5-10 minutes is achievable. Failures or repeat efforts for various reasons can result in a more lengthy commitment.

    Whomever took 3 hours should probably step away from their computer and truck and pay a friend a couple beers to do it for them

    Lol no, 5-10 mins to flash everything, 10-15 to let it idle, and you're on your way.

    I do not see anywhere in the directions where it says to let the truck idle. Is this a required thing after the flash is complete. Also, why do this?

    Yes, let it idle for 10-15 minutes.
    Matt added some supplementary instructions and is working on updating the main instructions.

    Good to hear the emphasis on how glad you are with dropping the $. I was hesitant at first

    Do you still need to do this step with the new kits? Just wondering which page to start on after downloading all the drivers.
