Bully Dog GT-T+ Toyota Tuner

Maybe not the actual speedo but what about the BD unit displaying the calibrated speed?

 

A $50 Garmin will do that to.

 

So does my $50 scan gauge but that won't tune my engine like the BD

 

Yes, I can see how they could display a corrected speed on the BD display, maybe, but it is not going to change the speedo display.

They stopped using mechanical speedos after the first couple years of the Gen 1 Taco.

But, you can change the drive gear on the VSS in the trans to alter the signal ratio.

It's not nice to lie to an entire Internet board!!

 

hey i was just about to post about my new antenna, it lets me control the weather!

Unfortunately its range is pretty short, so i can only control the weather in a 30 ft radius.

It has a weather generator that is powered by the speedo cable. And as a benifit, it can also emit the brown noise (outside the vehicle)

Most yota trucks have been electronic speedo since 92ish

But just like carbs were available until 95, some oddballs still had mechanical cables later than 92ish..

I personaly have never witnessed a 95.5 or newer (taco) with a cable, but i have heard of them. Whether or not there was ever one i can not say for sure.

 

Yes, you can correct the speedo on the actual GT. There is an option to correct by what percentage it is off. But we can't change the actual speedometer yet on the truck.
Food for thought on why we haven't yet: It isn't controlled by the ecm.

 

If it were controlled by the ECM, we most likely wouldn't be able to change gear ratios without issues.....

 

I was merely mentioning that since what we tune is the ecm, and since the speed isn't transmitted through the ecm (like most other vehicles do), this is why as of now we're not able to adjust the speedo through the unit. But as I said, it's a work in progress.

 

Does the unit come with a suction mount, or do you have to order that separate? Also, how do I know when an update is available, like when you unlock 70 hp for my Supercharged Tacoma?

 

I am still waiting on an RMA from Chas for my unit....

 

Was it DOA? My biggest fear with a handheld is having it crap out while writing to the ECM. Is there an easy recovery in that scenario?

 

Not DOA, it just will not do any of the special features that are mentioned....

Since many of those functions aren't even available on a Tacoma, I would suspect that list is more generic than Tacoma specific.

 

Most of those functions if not all are ECU functions that should be able to be manipulated by the tuner, i.e. auto lights, lock on shift, interior lighting, etc. Regardless, it was advertised that it would do these functions on a Tacoma, which is 95% of the reason I bought it. I can't justify spending all that money just to tune the truck, even though that is a pretty spectacular feat in itself...

 

Those options are standard setups you can do with a Toyota enhanced scan tool or a Techstream. The first thing I do is turn off the seat belt dinger and the unlock when you shift into park. Those two things always bugged me.

I did not know that was an option.

Now i wish i had one, but i dont think i have enough use to justify looking at buying one, im sure they arent cheap.
