    Yes. And you'll also need the Tactrix cable.

    Poor guy was probably like "oh hey, there's the TSB he wanted, but look, there's an even newer one too. Shiiiiiiiitt, I'm in a good mood, I'll hook him up, he's got a nice truck." And is about to get shit on for it lmao it's true, they didn't do what you asked. And yet, it's hard to say if it came from a place of ignorance or incompetence.

    You have to fight with them to apply tsb you want, but the ones you don't they just give it to you.

    Ok, yep I got my Tactrix cable. The Tune Pack will include 1.05 and eventually 2.0, correct?

    I don't know the answer, but possibly they don't have any option but to take the latest offered by Toyota.

    I recently did the dongle-dance and received a .reg file yesterday. If I understand this correctly, this unlocks Flash Manager for old style tuning. I downloaded the 'zero dollar' VF Tune upgrade and have it installed. Should I wait a bit longer for a separate VF Key? Or are these one and the same?

    You vF Master Key comes in a separate message. No need to send anything more. It is based off of your vF order.

    Great info. I am wondering if the TSB number was noted on your work order?

    Thanks!

    Yes, but for pf5 files only. All your vintage .pcm files are now museum pieces.

    Understood. Did you guys get a 'purchase order' or anything when you 'bought' VF Tuner for free? I'm trying to understand how Mat knows to generate a VF Key. Is the simple act of sending in the dongle enough for him to assume we got VF and he needs to generate a key for us?

    I got an Order Confirmation email. See this post, the first image.
    The VF Master Key is generated by Mat using info in your order (I think).

    There is a hidden page that was linked in here a few times that allows you to order vF as a Flash Kit owner. Both dongle (free) and dongleless ($79). Submitting that order and @OVTune receiving your dongle will get you a Master Key.
