    Still learning here. I have the ovtune flash manager installed and for the ECU calibration it says 04B02. I don't have my Tactrix cable yet will be here Friday. All the reading I've done I see people with 2016-2017 Tacoma's they have ECU 04B04. Will this update to 04B04 when I connect to my truck? I have a 2016 TRD 3.5L Automatic.

    Might be a dumb question and sorry if it's been answered before but is there a way to check your ECU ID w/o having to go to the dealer?

    You have to use Techstream to update. It’s not hard to do and you can use the same tactrix cable. There’s a thread with instructions on how to do it. Here:

    Hey bud, I just started a few weeks ago, and though my 2017 was already on 04B04, I got the chance to update a buddy's 2017 from 04B03 to 04B04 already. Super simple. Feel free to ping me if you have questions. Once you get TechStream up and running, the .cuw file you want (called T-0034-18.cuw) is attached here, to save you some time digging through that long ass post on instructions. That gets all the 2016-2017 ATs up to 04B04.

    o_O well he kinda needs to read that long ass post seeing as it is the "bible" on how to install TS and set it up properly. If he reads and follows that post he won't need to ask anyone questions cause it explains everything :rofl:

    Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. There should be a sticky for that. It’s a bit overwhelming just looking at it lol.


    I requested the tune pack via zendesk but got nothing yet. only got stock tune on file that initially came with unlocking my ecu.

    Are there any pre-setup tunes designed for the 4.0L 2nd Gen's? I don't see where anything is available from OV. Keep in mind I'm a novice when it comes to this, so I am not exactly comfortable tuning myself.

    What if I’m planning to use cruise control? I’ll be driving through Texas and I don’t want to be on the gas throughout the whole way honestly.

    I have no solution. It sucks! Just sucks less with the current tune. I still use cruise control, but don’t like it!
    As soon as we get access to those maps, I’ll fix it.

    I need to verify, but I think I have that already. May need to remind me. I have Friday off, but I'm after an elusive buck....

    If you don't accelerate like a 16 y/o out the student parking lot, it'll do fine. I can get 19-20 regularly.
