vF Tuner for the 3.5L Tacoma

Did you get this issue sorted out?

 

I'm no expert here but try a few things:
1. If it's not even letting you download it from the browser, try another browser like internet explorer, mozilla, etc.
2. If you've downloaded but can't install, try right clicking and hit "run as administrator".
3. Lastly, right click on the start button in the lower left hand corner of the desktop. Navigate to Windows Powershell (Admin), which will open a command prompt. Copy and paste this command into the command line: "net user administrator /active:yes" (without the ""). Keep the command line open and try installing software. Whether it works or doesn't work, run the command: "net user administrator /active:no" (without the "") when you're done.

 

flash manager was the old software, vf tuner is the new software.

Techstream can be acquired separately, so can hypertech. These two can be used to further play around with various parameters on your truck like how many times the blinker goes when you click the switch etc. Not necessarily for OV tune purposes, but fun to have nonetheless. It should be noted that the software looks like it was developed in 1996 (it kinda was)

 

Can you get rid of the seatbelt chime? That’s the most annoying thing in the world when it goes off!

 

Yes. You can disable the seatbelt chime when you go >5mph. The normal sounds when you first start the truck can not be disabled.

 

Yeah it’s in TS. I have it disabled in my truck. I also changed the turn signal blinks and a couple other things.

 

AWESOME!!

 

Can you make the foglights stay on with the high beams?

 

There’s a mod you can do for that. There’s a write up somewhere

 

Whaaaaaat! Definitely need a how to for the seat belt chime.

 

It's in customizations. I can't connect to my truck to post screenshots now, but it's there. Just poke around. I think it is in the Main Body sub-menu You can't really hurt anything in the customization menu.

 

Here you go:

Be sure to give @CdnSldr some props.

 

Thank you! This is huge for me, I drive logging roads on a weekly basis, in and out of the truck.

 

You're welcome! Do be careful though. I am a seat belt fan myself although I never had a moment to actually put one to the test.

It is excellent not hearing bongs and tones. I don't even have the beeps for lock / unlock.

You will still have the stupid key in chime. There are a couple ways of killing it, but they are physical mods that I have not done for reasons:

-- You can pretty easily remove the plunger from the switch in the ignition barrel. It is reversible. I hear something prime when my key hits it, so I don't want to lose that function.​

-- You can remove the speaker from the back side of the instrument cluster. That is not reversible and will also kill the turn signal tone. If you go in there, be sure to look for the Taco Truck easter egg.​

 

I have mine turned off because I’d set too much shit on the passenger seat and it would think someone is there. Also for when we are out at the farm in the fields etc

 

Similar here. Swapping cars around the house or whatever. Just annoying. The dash light is all the warning that I need.


A friend was along one day and didn't put on the belt. I think I watched the light flash on the instruments more than the road. Thankfully he put it on for the return trip.

 

Some new tables coming to vF Tuner for the AUTO and MANUALs.
(also all the TCU tables in development)


base ignition retard (base values used to retard from base ignition tables in calculating ignition final)
So if you're wondering why your logged ignition differs from table ignition, there are compensation factors in place like this, which reduces from base




We also found 4Low RAM controls. Testing if this is just the 4Low controller telling the ECU, or ECU telling the 4Low controller.

We are disassembling the code for all 4H and 4L controls to add some new features this winter.

 

Oh wow. What might be possible with the 4Lo stuff?

Also, any table expansion that might help in the hunt to kill the 1st gear DFCO issue for the MTs?

 

still working on that.

But found some more interesting things.
Per gear Throttle compensations and airflow for shifting, when clutch is pushed in...etc.

some tables I think you guys will enjoy.

Have you guys noticed rev hang being the "worst" in gears 1/2/3 ?



MT is going to be getting a BUNCH of per gear control tables

 

@iexc is gonna be so happy!
