Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

So is he disabling? To make people SIT TIGHT? Maybe because 1.05 will make those previous tunes weak sauce? Dunno...

 

Still eagerly awaiting an AT test file!

Stop emailing Mat people! You're pushing my emails down the list!

 

Maybe 1.05 will be released with pg. 1????

 

I'm pretty sure the email got the wrong tracking number and went to other side of the country.

 

Mat's spending all of his time responding to people who've gotten tired of waiting for 1.04, gone out to get the TSB and now want 1.04r to hold them over to 1.05. Speaking of, I should get an appointment to go get the TSB done.

 

Sorry guys I’m late to the game currently running 1.04.. was trying to read a few previous post but it got off topic... so I have a few questions if somebody can help me out..

1. As of right now 1.05 is not released?
2. Once it does get released where would I go for the update file? Email Matt @ zendesk?
3. Do I need the TSB update prior to 1.05?
4. I have the dongle version for 1.04.. I’m assuming uploading 1.05 would be the same process as 1.04?

Thanks in advance !

 

1. Only MT
2. Download likely
3. No
4. Yes, but word of new software and flash process is supposed to be easier

 

Thank you! Appreciate the good info.. is this the main thread for the update?

 

Yes it is. Keep your eyes on the 1st post, as Mat will update it with new info. SOON.

 

There actually was talk of him doing that, but I think he said that you had to prove 100% that the vehicle would ONLY be used off road. He was very emphatic.

 

You can use a phone/tablet app along with bluetooth obd adapter. I/Many use OBD Fusion (along with PLX Kiwi) - you can monitor gear and torque converter lockup, along with most any other ECU inputs (temps-oil/coolant/trans/air, etc, etc).

 

He also said that in reference to turning off CEL's

 

CEL's?

 

You have to prove your truck is offroad only or no 1.05 for anyone.

 

Check Engine Light(s)

 

Ah. Actually, there's just one idiot light I'd like turned off. I used TS to disable the seatbelt chime due to my dog riding shotgun with me every day, and looping the belt back around the seat and all that junk is super annoying and not comfortable for her. And before any of the snarky comments, yes I always wear my seatbelt; I have no desire to get a ticket or get jacked up in a crash. But, now the stupid little warning light just flashes all the time, it's very distracting while trying to drive. If anyone knows an easy way to get rid of that.... other than getting a spare buckle, it jabs her in the side and neck when she's trying to lay down. I wanna ask OVTune, but I don't want to distract him from 1.05

 

Mine has an off-road sticker on the back.

 

Your running the seat belt around the back of the seats back rest right? So it’s not behind your dog the the seat.

 

As much as I can. But then you have to undo everything to get into the back on that side (access cab) and the buckle still sticks up and jabs the dog, hence why I don't just get a spare clip from a junkyard. I've even thought about trying to install a bench seat or get rid of the center console just for her. She spends a LOT of time in the truck.

 

Temp solution: black vinyl/tape over that 1 light.

It works on the link light for the cable box in the bedroom.
