    Except 1.2.9.5 right? Didn't that have a critical issue?

    I don't think he ever said exactly what the problem was, but yes.

    @C41n got it covered. Same though. I don't know what was up with that one.

    Well that's good to know. Just saved me hours trying to find a usb cable that doesn't exist.

    I’ve seen where some have had to use an older 2.0 hub connected to their 3.0 ports.

    That shouldn't make any difference, I flashed from a USB3 port on the tactrix cable.

    I'll second that. In the last week I've flashed 27 different versions of my tune through a 3.0 port, no issues.

    Usb 2.0/3.0 shouldn't make a difference on any computer less than 4-5 years old. I have been flashing using a USB-C to mini USB cable (USB 3.1 port) and it works fine.

    I apologize if this has been answered already. I am wanting to increase my alternator voltage. My normal commute is about 6 miles, but it doesn't seem to be keeping my battery charged correctly. I changed to a 27F regular Interstate battery.

    I found the Alternator Constant section in VFTuner, but I'm not sure which duty cycles I need to change. Does anyone have any confirm way to do this safely?

    Thanks in advance.

    It does appear to be down, but I believe I saw earlier today an update was coming. Try again in a bit (or AM)

    EDIT: perhaps this

    Flash Manager? It is no more. There will be a free replacement.

    vF Tuner is down - pending a few things.

    Sorry guys I hate to continually take it down, update, etc.

    Before long there will be a method to update from within the software. "Help > Check for updates" and it will update much easier.

    Anyone know in the new update where I can change the byte files to get rid of the CEL on dump tubes?
