    I got one. Have used it for 3 years.

    Make sure you have the correct computer operating system. Mine runs on 32 bit OS, I see now the 64 bit OS are starting to show up.

    If you know how to make your computer run a "virtual machine", you should have no trouble.

    Cool, thanks.
    Have you tried it or heard of anyone using it with 2nd gen? Would there even be a difference?

    I've used mine on all my 1st gens and my 2nd gen Tundra.

    Do realize this will not allow you to time your truck engine, even Toyota dealers do not have that capability.

    This is an awesome diagnostic tool and a tool for customizing your truck. For example, the first thing I did was turn off the chimes that ring if you don't put on your seatbelt. The second thing I did was turn down the key in the ignition chime. For some reason, all Toyotas come from the factory with this set to the loudest.

    If you really want to learn all about this, go over to Tundratalk.net. there is a huge thread on installing this program on your computer and using the program. Be warned, it is very long, but if you take the time to read they it, you will understand it pretty good.

    Thanks a lot Kirk.
    That was the main reason I wanted it was for the seatbelt and ignition chimes. All the other features are a bonus.
    I was looking on this forum and didn't see anything about this tool and didn't know were else exactly to look. Thanks for the tundratalk link. Didn't know about it.
