    Who told you this?

    First off, anyone telling people that they shouldn't update and continue to use the old FM is wrong. Please tell me who they are / who is saying it.
    Second, you have the Magnuson tune, this is uniquely different than normal VF Tuner.

    But you can get updated to VFC, not a problem.


    When this new update comes out old versions won't work.
    You can still flash VFT through our new flash tool.

    Can't speak for disabling REG keys, but I think the guy you previously quoted misunderstood what they were supposed to do. When we use Techstream, we disable WiFi to keep it from phoning home. That's likely where the confusion lies. Everything else, I haven't heard of that going on, but can't deny it isn't happening. You know more than any of us on that.

    I'll admit, I didn't read the quoted post completely. Was a bit challenging to read, lol.

    Yes, you are correct. It does appear to be an attempt to circumvent checks.

    We are aware of some things and don't want people telling others not to update.

    less than 1/3 the price per vehicle of a competing software, and half the price of another competing software. (1/6th when you consider additional fees for TCU access)
    Neither of which have even 1/3rd the amount of tables we provide or any custom features at all.

    I believe you. Still going to hurt. Lol

    Not arguing with you either or trying to change your mind. Either flash service prices increase, stay the same, or people providing services stop doing so.

    People who plan to offer map switch tunes absolutely should consider pricing it to the time involved. It's a lot of work to customize 8 modes.

    Wow, and they didn't just go up a little, they went up a TON. I used to buy the 24 pack for $280 (about $11.50 per credit) now you only get 16 for $280!? ($17.50 per credit)

    No you wouldn't have. You would still wait until the last minute... then panic.

    Credit prices change as a result of available features on all platforms. (Tundra 4 way map switching, Tacoma 8 Way map switching, Tacoma 2nd Gen 2 Way Map switching, Lexus 8AR-FTS Simplified boost control patch, Lexus RCF 5.0L Boost Map Patch - 1rst Gear Lockout, etc).
    This is not specific to the tacoma.



    We posted a few times that while no decision was final, that credit price changes would reflect available features. It's not a secret it's happened 3 times (with 1 decrease in price of the kit itself). (this is current final pricing for all VF001, VF002 EROM Features available / upcoming) Credits are unlikely to increase from this point, as we have all EROM features done.

    Just pulled down the latest version. Is upgrade just running the installer, or does the old version need to be uninstalled before running the new version?
