    99% going to be a connection error, bat voltage, or something interfering.

    the flash process is really straight forward.


    it is very important that you have stable connection, good voltage, and no interruptions.

    I'm aware that it is straight forward I've flashed plenty of times and know how to read your instructions. It gets 3/4 of the way and gives this error message. Battery voltage 12.325

    Same - downloaded the new version, updated drivers. I've flashed numerous times. Are you 04A61 also. Maybe we're still "special". I'll submit a zendesk ticket.

    came back from test drive so far so good. The premium tune 33in tires stock gears vs enhanced throttle. Well i noticed for sure how more laid back the throttle is power is there if you need it but i will be going on the highway to work tomorrow so that will put 100+ miles on the tune.As far as enhanced throttle i think i will flash back to it cause it feel more like my driving habit mash on it everywhere lol not really just i need that extra throttle for getting on I-5 here in washington

    it is a verification error msg. The ECU has already flashed by this point.



    Download link has been updated. version did not change.

    - includes driver update (Help > driver installer)

    fix:
    - fixes error message on tacoma 2.0mb ecus.
    - fixes programming progress bar
    - fixes some error messages (clarification on messages)



    OK. All should be good to go.


    if anyone has any errors from this point. Please send us a message - Support@ovtune.zendesk.com

    So if we already had VFtuner from trading in our dongle, all we have to do is update and prepare ECU to flash? What is the 5 creds for again?

    Yes. If you are an automatic transmission, that will probably mean 04B04
