Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Yep, we have been working with them for a while actually.
Really awesome guys, anyone in Canada within driving range of them should definitely check them out.

They will also be doing an install of our S/C kit on a tacoma ^_^

 

Great bunch of guys. Been getting most of my paychecks the last 6 months but besides that they're steak sauce. Installing the tune and Nitro 5:29 as we speak. Can't wait to see the difference on Saturday

Looks like the new flash manager w/ logger is ready.

 

Fun fact guys, when installing the new Flash Manager, you will likely need the appropriate Microsoft redistributable file. I was using a x64 version for previous FM builds and since this FM is x86 only (per the FM's file name), you'll have to grab that one too if you don't already have it. Super easy, just follow the link below and snag what you need.

@OVTune is there any particular reason why launching PCMFlash from FM still brings up version 1.1.99-1 and not the 1.2.0 that it's been prompting me to download since July, even though I already downloaded and installed it? lol should we not use 1.2.0?

 

Alright you two, since there is a black friday sale, I'm joining the club.

 

SWEET!!

 

If anyone is able to download the OFT handheld instructions please send them to me by PM. I've downloaded 3 times on my phone but it wont open. Thanks

Trying to decide between the handheld and the flash kit. Is there any benefits of the flash kit over the handheld device? On Ovtuned website it says the flashkit has "more tune options available" . I don't think i'll be doing any self tuning.

 

Hi guys, I'm currently getting 2-3 calls every minute right now if we don't answer just leave us a message / text message

 

Treated myself to an OVT decal and shirt. Was kinda disappointed though that there wasn't a patch available. #firstworldproblems

 

I'm a big boy, and would love a 3xl shirt

 

So what were your thoughts having not used the tune before and test driving someone else’s truck? Minimal, moderate, cool, really good, totally different truck hands down? If you had to rate it anyway....

 

Okay friends, looking to jump on this. Handheld vs flash tune kit? What is the consensus for someone who doesn't really want to adjust tunes on the fly, but will likely be going FI when those options are available?

 

This how I looked at it. Unless the HH has some killer function like auto-tuning as I drive, there isn't a big advantage over my little tuning computer. Given how good the tunes are, I don't see myself tweaking anything.

 

So you say tune kit? They appear to be the same price. I already have an ultragauge for monitoring temps/engine info, so I don't need another screen on my dash I don't think.

 

Yep. I have the Tune Kit and couldn't be happier, esp with the ability to use TechStream if need be (customizations and TPMS swaps).

 

Cool, works for me. Thanks!

 

You're welcome!
