    I want to flash my 2018 MT truck back to stock (04A71) because it's going to the dealer tomorrow morning to get a new fuel pump.

    I am running Toyota Flash Manager 1.04, config version 1.3.3.

    When I attempt to download the stock tune, I get "Error downloading file ... sid_04A71_STOCK.p5f"

    I have tried Help->Update but no joy.

    If you download and install vf tuner it should have the stock file in it. Then just flash with vf

    Hey Mat, @OVTune since I had to change laptops I’m unable to open vf tuner “linked” to my account. Is there a way to reset it to this laptop. You have sent me everything I need otherwise. I believe. I get this message.

    Guessing it just needs to be reset on your end. Hope this is a easy fix for ya. And hope you have a good holiday sir!

    You shouldn’t need to put the stock file on there for the fuel pump recall.

    How long does it take to get credits unlocked once purchased? I bought 4 on Sunday and nothing has been updated on my account.

    The worst that could happen at the dealer is that they flash you back to stock. You should be good to go and come out still OVTuned.

    Sure did. Even sent an email to request the tune pack for the ECU ID I plan to unlock.

    Genius. Worked. Thanks!

    I realize that the pump replacement probably doesn't involve any type of computer programming by the dealer. But I'd rather not take any risks.

    About the webinar:

    May 12th -
    So here is our release schedule, which we are working on. (a little behind atm).
    June we will be hosting some webinar based tuning guides.

    June 5th
    Yes actually when our updated site goes up, we will start posting our guide videos and software training material. We will also be doing some webinar classes later.

    June 17th
    Upcoming timeline>
    > 04B14 tune pack release
    > Auto files vFT format release
    > Webinar / guides / how to

    July 16th
    Not yet. But i'm planning on getting my truck back on the dyno tomorrow to get some fresh Turbo dyno numbers and hopefully a webinar

    July 16th
    "Awesome. Excuse me for being a dumbass, but been you say webinar do you mean a live video like zoom or some shit? Or a recorded video I can watch later?"
    live and recorded

    Oct 5th
    and we are working on having a vF Tuner Tacoma Training Webinar on the 17th

    Oct 17th
    Sorry guys I am rescheduling the webinar, when I selected the 17th I completely forgot that the 15th was tax papers day so instead of preparing my webinar materials I was finishing tax stuff.

    Nov 21st
    Let me get caught up with everything, and I will have some very good tuning guides / training for you guys. I've got a green screen room planned out and will do training videos similar to Andy from adaptronic. Instead of whiteboard it will be the tables
    Live training will be done differently.
    So it's already planned.
    2021 we are going all out with VF Tuner. Training, patches for features, guides etc.
    Training for fuel tuning, ignition, valve, etc.

    Nov 24th
    No it isn't going to cost you $1250.
    I have said we will be making a tuning guide free for everyone.

    Nov 24th
    And yes, figuring it out on your own is part of the process, like ANY tuning software.


    Thank goodness we have people like @Mooseditty17, @PapaRee and numerous others who have taken the time to help those of us who are "Tunerless" and were hoping to pick up some knowledge from the training.........

    Damn I love this thread... been MIA a few days and just got caught up since Nov 20th... OMG i'm so stoked about 4Runner support! My boss/bestie has my truck's T4R twin (both 2017 Pros) and he's about to shit his pantaloons. Def getting the Tune Pack for those too. And stocked about Tundra Tuning Packs too, since my first few tests tuning a Tundra have been very moderate improvements, since I don't have one myself to play with constantly and have to stay conservative. I honestly need to just swap trucks with duder for a week or so, so I can iterate quickly, but I think we're both hesitant about loaning out our babies to each other haha.

    To this dude:
    I asked Mat about this, since I've unlocked 3 Taco ECU IDs so far, and have the Tune Pack purchased for 04B04 (my truck)... UNFORTUNATELY, I assumed you'd get the 2.0 Tune packs for the other IDs you unlock as you go, but that is sadly not the case. All I have are the editable .vft 2.0 files for the ECU I bought, and I have (I can't remember where the hell I got them, can someone remind me?) the un-editable 2.0 tune files for the other ECUs... so I can potentially flash Mats 2.0 tune to other ECUs, but not edit them to customize them for the person.

    @OVTune , I think that there should be some sort of program for people to get the 2.0 .vft files for other Taco ECUs we've unlocked, assuming we've already bought the Tune Pack at full-pop once. Plus, I'm about to drop some $$ on the Tune Packs for Tundras and 4Runners, so yeah, you'll be getting more and more of my money soon enough, amigo!

    @tonered , @Shellshock
    Do you know if this info is correct. You do not get the editable tune pack for each unlocked ECU that you pay for?
    If it is, then you know this is some Bullshit!
