    All is good and thank you to Magnuson and OVTune for bird dogging the tech’s issues. Overall pretty damn happy. Now I want the TRD CAI. Is it too late for that and does it simply plug and play into the existing snorkel? (Similar to Safari, etc? I’ve installed two Safari’s on two separate FJ’s) this look will round out the engine bay!

    I’m waiting for CARB approval before I buy it. I’m sure they’ll get it sooner or later.

    I'm waiting on them to get back with me - it is like they don't respond to potential sales. Ugh.

    EDIT: Magnuson Contact got back to me today. Deal done.

    What tech issues? please update. Can't be that hard to flash if you know anything about vFTuner.

    He’s referring to “the tech(nician)” that did the install.

    got that - just wondering what his 'issues" were - install or flash. And if flash - like I said vFTuner Flashing is a no brainer - if it if related to the install - well it would be nice to know what those issues were.

    Did anyone else get a suspicious looking email from Magnuson a few minutes ago? It's a .zip file containing what appears to be a Word file. Not exactly what would appear to be a tune update

    Nothing here, but I didn’t do my install so I don’t think I’ll ever get email even though I sent in my warranty paperwork.

    Yes I did. I opened it on my old phone just to see what was in it. It is almost certainly malicious. The file is just text saying to allow editing. I’ll give magnuson a call later and let them know.

    edit: they are aware of it. Do not open the file if you get one that requires a password to open.

    Yeah - i sent them an email back too. Looks like someone's email got compromised...

    On a side note - that happened to me a few years ago too. I got hacked while on Delta's airport lounge wifi. When they did it the hacker also created a rule in my outlook that automatically delete all emails that contained my name which took my IT forever to figure out why I wasn't getting emails.

    Normally they create that rule on OWA as most people only use the local client because the rule won't show on the local Outlook client but it will process that rule. I've dealt with the issue hundreds of times now and it's always the same, if you're seeing something odd, login to your email online and check your Rules.

    bummer - I've not done installs on this mod so I won't judge. I do know there a circumstances where instructions/directions are not clear. Glad they got it taken care of. Enjoy! Please keep us updated on your impressions as you go.

    It was more around security software with pop ups, etc

    yep - common with the SW - have to know to disable certain MicroSoft virus defenses or it will stop any flash.

    I guess you’d have to start with defining “tried”. Then I’d potential run a virus scan and possibly install your latest backup from before the “tried” event.
