Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

2018+ handhelds

 

Heard back from OFT this morning. They are very very close. The engineers in Italy just asked for a little more patience to wrap it up. I know that you guys have been waiting a while already, we are sorry about that. If anyone prefer not to wait and want a flash kit instead please let us know right away.

 

If premium was only 30 cents more I’d be putting it in all my vehicles.

 

LoL! I was going to try the Catted 91 tune and backed out when I saw that it was $0.10/gal more than expected.


That said, I did get a lot of build up in the combustion chamber on my motorcycle from premium. 87 definitely burned cleaner.

 

I ran 93 tunes until the 87 performance 0944 4.88 build came out... then i only been running that one. Works well, saves some dough at the pump, and keeps from having to flash new tunes when in the mountains. Not a bad comprimise

 

That explains everything...

 

Hi guys!
I ordered the flash kit last Monday. Mat sent me the reg key and I’m now just waiting on the kit to arrive in the mail.
I wanted to make sure I understand the process correctly. With the kit option, I just download the latest tunes from the flash program on my computer right? I don’t have to go to OVTune website and download anything from there? Or wait for Mat to email me a tune?
I have read the instructions and watched the install video both, a couple of times. I just want to make sure I understand it correctly.
Thank you very much for your assistance!

 

Follow the video instructions as far as you can without the hardware. Then, once your kit arrives, you can flash the tune you want right away.

There is a beta tune on the OVtune website if you want to try it. Other than that the tunes you would download are in the software you installed.

 

I noticed that the software program has a tune called 2.0. Is that also the beta?

 

The beta is only available on the website. The drop down in the software for 2.0 won’t work until the final release

 

2.0 will be final, it’s not released yet/you won’t download anything in the software; but the 2.0 beta is online. What year is your truck? If it’s a 19 I’d go straight to the beta to avoid any issue with the “brake override malfunction” that 1.05 had with the 2019s

 

its a 2019.

Once you have the hardware you’ll be able to read your ecu ID to know which one to download.

 

awesome! This is were I wasn’t sure about how it worked. So, I will do everything through the flash program, no website downloads and such.
Thanks for the help guys!

 

You already got your reg key? I ordered and sent my system id two sundays ago and havent received anything yet. @OVTune ? Any update?

 

I sent them my system ID last Tuesday and got my reg key on Friday. I still haven’t heard anything about the flash kit shipment. I heard someone else on here say that they ordered last week and already got a shipping confirmation on their flask kit.
