    When I try to download any tunes through Flash Manager, I get an error at the bottom of FM that says "Error downloading file C:/users......."
    How do I solve this?
    Then only tune I've been able to flash is from the 3rd gen beta page. I haven't downloaded anything through flash manager.
    Thanks.

    Interesting. The old program folder for FM was Toyota Flash. The new folder is OVTuned.

    You also have to reinstall the REG file.

    Hey guys. I’m enjoying SuperFOB, but I want to remind myself of just how bad the factory tune was. How do i flash it back to stock?

    Pick Stock in FM, download, and flash.

    I honestly hate SuperFOB

    It's extremely jerky, lunges, not smooth power at all. Feels like it misfires

    However 2.0 base is amazing, smooth while still having great power delivery. I even went back the 87 from 93 and can't tell that much of a difference until high rpm, which i rarely venture to.

    I would never go back to stock

    I seem to like 87 base too. 87 SuperFob seemed to work the truck harder in 6th gear cruising on the highway. Base seems to run more effortless when you hit a small incline cruising around 70 in 6th

    I previously had premium SuperFOB and did notice what felt like misfires between 2-3k. But using the premium base tune, it just doesn’t have the same oomph below 1,500rpm. Sounds like a different engine below 1,000rpm, engine is much happier on premium SuperFOB - doesn’t lug.

    More or less living off-road currently, so having the low-rpm capabilities are beneficial to me.

    I do recall the stock tune having a stronger idle for clutch modulation than any of the tunes have had, but it’s been awhile.

    I’ve been running the base tune and have flipped to 91e0. With OL, it definitely picks up a bit.

    Heads up OG dongle guys. If you have registered VFTune and have unlocked your ECU you can flash all the P5F tunes available from flash manager for your ecu. You can also flash other trucks using said tunes ;)

    I have vf Tuner and the tactrix, I was waiting to see if I could get just one of the 2.0 or 1.05 tunes before buying the whole tunepack. As a new customer, there'a way I can get the tune now for my 2020 6MT? Thanks for any information.

    Download and install flash manager from here https://www.ovtuned.com/blogs/news/flash-manager-1-3-0-released-with-new-logger
    Open the program and using the tabs on top install software and clear local data and then help/update steps. Then you can select the tune you want from the menu windows. After you have your tune file downloaded close flash manager and open VFTune and click the tune it icon.

    ETA I see you have a 2020 now lol. Tunes may or may not be available for you on flash manager yet
