    - Go to local parts store and read/have your ECM Cal ID read;
    - OBD scanner or OBD BT dongle and app on a smartphone (I have the Carista dongle and OBD Fusion for IOS);
    - Laptop with Techstream (Toyota app) and OBD USB cable;
    - Laptop with OVtune's PCM flash and OBD USB cable;

    Since you are a 2019 M/T, you're going to be either 04B40 or 04B41 (unless Toyota released yet another 2019 version - haven't heard of it though).

    Does anyone have a recommendation. I can’t get past running the PCMFlash Utility. It gives me an error message Guardant Dongle not found. My kit the the Orange OBDII with small black cord. Maybe I need a different program than the one currently on displayed on the site? Ticket 10232

    You do not have a dongle kit you have the new kit use P5flash. The orange thing is just the OBDII adapter a dongle is a usb thumb drive;)

    Thanks that makes a lot of sense. But my P5flash is greyed out and I can’t select it....

    Disable your virus scanner/windows defender, or create an exception. Install the software again. It is getting blocked/deleted.

    To boot, now I can’t get my wife’s 7 year old laptop to get past a black screen of death upon startup. I think this is a sign I need to go buy a laptop and just start the process from scratch.

    Thanks! I just picked up another computer so I am going to have to start the whole process over again. But I feel like it is totally going to be worth it after that first drive!

    I can’t wait to join you all. It’s been quite a saga so far. Got kit. Got it registered on wife’s old laptop. Had trouble installing. Then her laptop bricked up. Went to Costco and bought laptop (just for this lol). Started registration process over again... reading all of your posts keeps me going!
