    Should be anytime in the coming days based on what Mat told me in a Zendesk response. I'm inclined to figure it will be a bit longer than that with all the other major updates he has coming

    FM has been non-functional for a while now in prep for the 2.0 AT Final options release. I am not sure if it will come back with the 2.0 AT Final options or if there will be some other method. Folks actively flashing now are using vF Tuner and the Tune Packs. @OVTune is currently working on a big update to vF Tuner. Once he's done (this week), we will get more info.

    So, you are kind of stuck at the moment, but hang tight.

    I believe it is generally recommended to. I don't think the truck will self-destruct or anything if you don't however.

    PapaRee reached out and walked me through getting what I needed. So helpful! Thank you again (publicly now) for all your help today. Got the TSB updated to the 04A61 and the tune done for the new gears. Off for a test drive now! Cheers!

    Our software will soon be updating to a new version.
    There will be several changes with this version, but all for good reason and to make it easier to use.
    Registration based flashing will no longer be used.

    There will be credit costs per VIN, and per ECU ID.
    Each person will get more standard credits from the start, instead of 5.
    Everyone with a master key right now will also be credited extra credits (for free) to cover their VIN crediting.
    This upgrade will not cost you anything.
    You will no longer have to request a registry key, and system IDs will no longer be necessary.
    Your Master key will give immediate access to the software and ability to flash.


    Additionally, new users can request their tune pack via the software as well.
    There will be Tune pack credits. 1 tune pack = 1 credit.
    When you order future tune packs, your master key will be credited and you can download the tune pack of your choice. No waiting, No emails, No spam folders.


    This will *significantly* speed up things on our side, and there will no longer be wait times for credit processing (99.99% of the time - say day credit processing)


    There is no additional costs involved.

    Welcome, and look no further. Anything you could possibly want to know is here, although probably buried in ~3500 pages.

    I would recommend waiting a little bit.
    OVTune is a good product, but I am damn near lost my mind trying to acquire and deploy it with all the recent updates and changes. They posted recently saying new updates are coming to simplify the process, so you are probably best off making your purchase once it’s in place.
    Or you can pay someone to do it, but if you do it yourself you will get access to all the updates as they come out and can flash yourself. And flash back to stock if you ever need or want to. Otherwise you’ll be relying on someone else for that, or buying it yourself later.

    Will the 2.0 Performance Tune that we all have been waiting for offer more Performance than the 2.0 Base Tune that we have been enjoying and tweaking? I am aware of map switching, gear lock and towing. I am not referring to more tip in or higher shift points. I am referring to actual performance gains in 0 to 60 and 1/4 -Mile, not that I plan on drag racing my Tacoma. I am just hoping for some real measurable performance gain. Not something that FEELS better.

    Is this happening as we speak? I sent for registration on Wednesday just wondering if I still wait for that or if I'm waiting for this transition to take place. I got bought couple weeks ago and waited for cable to arrive before I began anything. Didn't realize I had to email things to you first (which I could have done before cable unknowingly) not complaining, just wondering! :)
