    Wowsers. That is an involved process. The question I always have is what exactly do I have to purchase in order to install a tune?

    So. Many. Stickers.
    OVTuned.com

    Plenty of information there, and a couple of different links on the site.

    You'll need

    VF tuner (software)
    Tune packs (software, emailed to you based on your ECU ID. Instructions come with it so it's not too terribly difficult. No worries there)
    Tactrix cable. (If the cable is sold out on the site, you can always Google it. There are several vendors who carry them from time to time.)

    OR

    If you can find someone near you who already has the software and cable etc, they can help get you tuned. And you possibly won't have to buy everything.

    I don't know if this is a coincidence, but I just got a shipping notification for my cable, haha.

    from your name, and order date I see who you are, and we emailed the vF credentials to you.

    definitely double check your spam folder

    Also for everyone
    Chrome seems to be blocking our file from download now, and emails going to spam.
    Kind of ridiculous, but we are working on getting this fixed ASAP

    Gmail has been wonky for a couple weeks now. Spam is getting through the filters and some messages are disappearing from the inbox. I saw that this was a known issue, but did not see a timeframe for the fix. There has been some startup improvement with Gmail this week though, so maybe they are working on it?

    Just be sure to check both the Spam and Trash folders.

    Is the Tune Pack something that needs to be shipped to me or is it just sent to my email when I order? Hoping it doesn’t need to be shipped because that will be an extra $140 on top of $520 for me...

    The only thing that needs shipped is the tactrix cable. Everything else (vf tuner, tune packs) are software downloads.

    It comes in an email once you request the ECU ID that you want. AT Tune Packs are not out yet.

    Excellent, already purchased the vF+cable kit and registered everything per instruction.

    Right on. I think I still need to purchase the Tune Pack to flash any of the OVtune tunes to my truck with vF though. Correct?

    Yes. Unless you can work out a deal with someone to get the tunes that you want. You would need to find someone with your same ECU ID and the Tune Packs.
