    Just confirming that your Taco identifies as 04B12?

    If you want to upgrade to 04B13, you can just follow the steps here since you have all the tools. No dealer necessary:

    Just follow the steps in the 1st post.

    Not necessarily, but your post making it sound like we aren't bothering due to scions and corollas is just false. We have been posting updates (for certain ECUs, IDs, reasons, etc) every month this year so far, and will continue as things progress.

    Regarding what issue? what people post on here vs what we see on our tickets are two very different things.

    I realize you need tickets for real issues, but I think most of us MT folks are interested in the list of requests you had asked for a while back. I know some of it requires a truck on the dyno and there were a couple willing participants.

    I've been working on this stuff for the last few months, but it's not ready for any release yet. I do need more time with a MT truck. All mazda stuff is completely handled by someone else, separate from anything I am doing. The MT is still as much of a priority for us as it has been.
    Other than bug fixes and update for torque converter, the AT and MT are about on the same page right now, with those bugs being released each month up to this point.

    This stumbling I do not have a solid answer yet, unless it is the stumble feeling around 3000 RPM prior to ACIS activation.
    All of that stuff (87 revised tune, ACIS, etc) is yet to be released on either AT or MT.



    Since January this year I haven't posted any release for AT or MT except for 1.05 and a recent fix to 2019 files, torque converter stumbling (which tooks us a long time to solve).


    It ended up not happening because the dyno was unavailable, due to things outside of my control or even the dyno owners control. But once our dyno gets here there is no waiting on anyone.



    Recently I have been working on the Tundra, and the new P5UDS ecu in the 2019 Corolla. But I do that at the same time that I am doing Tacoma stuff. Like mon-tues Tundra, Wed-Thurs Tacoma, Fri- Corolla. For example.

    Only remotely at the moment. I have not had one back on the dyno yet. I also don't have all of the code ready for all the changes being worked on. Some of the RAMP dumps have helped expedite this, but that was pretty recent.

    what has already been worked on is
    - rev hang
    - single map torque
    - acis

    but I haven't released it yet. It's done, but not out.

    It's not so much about being nasty, but just giving time for results to happen. I'd love for this motor to be like the one in our old saab or the wife's Subaru, but that's gonna take some time. We are a big leg up already though.

    You should post everyday on the dyno forum about the missing dyno.

    I know this might have been asked before, but this thread is so big.

    I have a genuine tactrix i bought to apply the toyota ecu update.

    Can I use the tactrix if i buy ov tune? If so, does that mean that i need dongless or a dongle?

    Now that it has been confirmed rev hang will be taken care of soon, im going to lay down the cash and just buy it.

    You do not need the full kit, but you to ping OVT to get the right price.

    The new tune will come soon.

    It's funny how some people feel mat has some moral obligation to fix their shitty trucks.

    And to deal with their shitty attitudes.

    Everything is fine no need to go off the rails people. Our goal is for you to enjoy our product and your truck. This dialog is helpful actually, now everyone knows the current status of R/D for future stuff. It's not like the dev thread where people go nuts over the trucks brakes.

    At the end of the day the tacoma community is a great bunch of people I truly enjoy working with you guys.
