Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Saw the tundra blog this morning too.

 

For those of us with the handheld getting the error code. Will we get an email when the new update is available or do we check back here? And what’s he handheld software needed to be downloaded on the PC prior in order to update it when the time comes?

 

Yep I just got off the phone with OFT 5 mind ago were planning to have the update released Monday

 

Tease...

 

The Tundra update sounds pretty amazing. It also sounds like Toyota designed in similar shortcomings on that platform.

I also find that there is a link on the blog, but no text once you click on it.

It’s still not up. I respect the shit out of Mat for what he does, I know that even with my last tuning experience on HP Tuners and EFI Live about a decade ago, I could never do what he does. Why he still gives any kind of release dates though.....totally beyond me.

 

The blog post is up, I'm taking it down and putting it back up it should show. If it doesn't refresh your browser or the page

 

I just checked, only the Tundra one is showing.

 

The title and stuff were up last night, my guess is something went wrong when it uploaded.

note if it still isn't showing up refresh the page or exit your internet and try again.
There is more information that will be on this blog as well this weekend, as there is more to explain regarding the transmission and some Manual transmission specific features.

 

Thanks for taking the time to write all of the info in your Tacoma blog. It was a lot to digest, but very informative.

 

A Merry Christmas indeed, thanks for all your work @OVTune

 

You mentioned complaint mode... Although being a typo was still quite humorous yet suiting Unsure if any intent was there for the typo but it’s fits quite nicely as I follow this thread daily!

 

That was intended

 

So how is everyone interpreting turning gear lock on and off.

I am not seeing anything that lets me turn gear lock on and off without reflash. This wasnt promised, but I was GUESSING it might end up an option with map switching capability.

(As in, not directly seeing a way to go from 'normal S mode that locks out high gears' to 'gear lock S mode that locks in a gear' without reflash).

And no, I am not whining, just trying to understand latest development.

 

@OVTune , looking at the different maps, what would happen if we are in S mode but don't/forget turn on ECT? I'm sure I will do this as I'm so used to switching to S mode from D. Would that be like a Map 1 gearlock? Not clear to me. And Thank You!

Custom EROM Calibration Features -

AT 3 Wap Map switching -
The Automatic Transmission trucks will have 3 way map switching available through these modes:
Map 1 - Normal / D mode (87/91/93 compliant)
Map 2 - ECT Button activated ( 87/91/93 compliant performance mode)
Map 3 - ECT Button + S mode ( 87/91/93 complaint mode dedicated for towing)

 

Nice work! - just double-checking that 87/91/93 compliant means the tune will adjust depending on the fuel used? No more 91 tune/87 tune/93 specific tunes right?

 

Quoted from the blog:

"S mode Gear Locking -
Gear locking feature will now be controlled by moving the selector to S Mode, and no longer require the use of the ECT button."
