    And does the $699 tune on their page include everything I need? And it includes access to the fob tune?

    I'm planning on more than that. :D


    I honestly feel the stock tunes were worse for longevity.

    It gets you the software and the adapter cable with free access to all the available tunes. You just need a Windows computer.

    It took me a while to come around, but 1.05 was definitely worth it. 2.0 is going to be a complete rewrite.

    Can't wait.

    I have a help ticket in to get this issue resolved. Searching through the thread trying to figure it out. Disabled norton but that didn’t work. Trying to figure out how to disable windows defender now. Computers aren’t my thing. I’m hoping some of you dudes that are smarter then I can help. I click on flash utility, and says “ready” in the bottom left corner of flash manager. Flash utility opens in the download folder, then the error message comes up that I posted above, after clicking flash it, and selecting the tune file. Using a brand new Acer Aspire E15 with Windows 10. Damn it I was stoked to come home and finally experience 91 fob, only to hit a roadblock.

    All we know is that OVT was able to crack further into the ECUs and is able to rewrite the crappy sections now.

    Search his posts in the Development thread.

    Us MT folks are hoping for one calibration table for all gears and neutral. Right now, there is a different one for each. Just freaking crazy.

    In Win Defender, you can have it exclude the Toyota Flash folder. That is what worked for me.

    Are you unhappy with the way your truck drives stock?

    Yes: Buy the damn tune. Get rid of the damn accumulator. Don't let people gaslight you into thinking it's ok.

    No: Get the f@ck off TW and never come back. Your wallet will thank you.

    ACK?

    :D

    If its a windows defender issue:
    -Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.
    -Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings, and then under Exclusions, select Add or remove exclusions.
    -Select Add an exclusion, and then select from files, folders, file types, or process.

    Normally we get these out much quicker, but our cable supplier took the entire week before the 4th off and we have been trying to catch everything up

    A week is about average, but he did say that there were a ton of orders from the sale.

    These were the last two posts:
