    This is all true..... the fact is a “seminar”was promised on how to use vftuner for us that are lacking on knowledge, yet it was cancelled and never rescheduled.

    Hey bro, I know you may be a little upset that the "seminar" wasn't posted... but however... I found a great link today that I'm using by a member here. Maybe watch this for a bit and it can help answer a lot of your questions. Hopefully this can cheer you up a hair. I hold nothing against you btw :)

    EDIT: Video was from @Stormpeacock 's Signature so I also assume that was from him.. Thumbs up to him for posting the video.

    You're right. It hasn't been rescheduled yet. I have had my hands completely full pushing through a new update to stop rampant *piracy* that is all coming from tacoma owners. Lots of things have been pushed back because the amount of people pirating our stuff, pirating my own business name and logo is crazy, and it's ONLY the tacoma community.

    So I get people are upset that I haven't done a webinar yet.
    More important things need attention first or VF Tuner won't even be around.

    Thank you. I Do appreciate all support given.

    There are just certain things that *must* be done first. Things that weren't even anticipated. Maybe I'm naive, thinking everyone would be honest about it.


    Anyways goodnight everyone.


    When we do post info about webinars, training materials, etc it will be on the vf tuner forum.

    OK if I buy the vForest Tuner Software + Flash Cable and the Tacoma 3.5L vF Tune Pack will I be a able to tune my truck as well as my brothers tacoma as long as I buy credits.

    I know this has been answered many times before but I need help pretty quickly and can't find the answer. Thanks in advance.

    We have a 100+ page instructional PDF on our website.

    Instructions on how to use the software does not equal instructions on how to tune Toyota's.

    If you and your brother trucks ECU's are the same (example 04033) Yes, you can tune both with what you mentioned above. IF the ECU's are different (1 ECU is 04B04 and other 04033) then you will need to buy credits to unlock the different ECU AND buy different tunes for said different ECU.

    Edit: Don't assume they are the same because of year model. One may have had a TSB applied and the other NOT. If same year model and needed you can apply an TSB so they are the same.

    I remember that conversation. Where is a good place to get help utilizing the software you've created?

    I am so glad I bought my tune 3+ years ago. I couldn't imagine someone that wasn't quite vehicle illiterate trying to purchase Ovtune. No disrespect at all but. I read through a few of Mat's replies tonight and, granted, he has a family with a newborn but... All I'm saying is the tune wasn't easy for me 3yrs ago and if someone wants a tune now a days, it's a bit of a shit show. Again, no disrespect. I am happy with what I got but something needs to change. Not sure how. Hopefully someday something will happen to streamline Mats product into a simple "no brainer" for what a large majority of the guys googling "more power tacoma" want. Again, no offense to anyone but reading posts from the creator with so much frustration in his words just sucks. Thanks for Ovtune and all the guys that have the time to do tweaks on the base tunes. And yes, I understand there is a 100+ pages that explains it all but...

    I’m hearing about the pirated logo and people saying they’re working for you a lot. That’s a damn shame.

    Here is a question. We jacked up numbers in all known places, but why is the throttle still being limited between 85 -90%.
    Here is an example of the accelerator and the throttle are being neck to neck and far apart.
    There is only 200 of rpms difference and 5% of the load, but the difference between the accelerator and the throttle position is uuuge.
    I know that there are limits, but can we milk another 100 -150 rpms out by opening the throttle just a bit more? This will be a huge improvement w/o going unlock tc route.
