    Bone Stock thus far...
    Anyone else had issues with the datalogger application just locking up?

    Mat had sent the file to me previous to the new Flash Manager release. I never was able to make it work, just locked up hard.

    Today I downloaded the new flashmanager adn tried it from there... newer look, same result...‍♂️

    Windows 10 running most current version... Tactrix interface works perfectly with flash manager.

    It was 6mo ago when I did the installation. I don't remember if I did the file swap or not, but I do remember entering the key once. Did you do the file swap before starting TS? If not, you might want to try uninstalling / reinstalling one final time?

    wrong.... I'm MUCH happier with this truck than I was before I met Matt, in fact had this tune not come out I'd be driving something different.

    Lighten up.....
    Different strokes brothah and don't tell me there is no room for more happiness in my life ! :hattip:

    Furthermore, for what it's worth the Performance Tune isn't out yet for my ECU. so I'm still behind.

    I didn't have the right app. I was using the Toyota service app until I learned that it doesn't upload info to the dealer's system. Supposedly there's one that does though

    Hey. Don’t do techstream unless you have the ovtune kit.

    I needed it to recover my ECU the first time I did techstream.

    i read your entire experience along with multiple others haha. glad it all worked out in the end!! I have OV and everything works great. Downloaded TS today and played around a bit. I have multiple people in my area that the dealership refuses to do updates for and I was just trying to help myself, along with them out in long run.

    Did you get this figured out? There are to versions of the crack. One you copy and replace mainmenu.exe, and the other you use TS_Loader.exe. The TS_Loader.exe is pretty simple. As long as you paste it into the right place, you just run that file to launch TS. It should never ask for registration information. You may want to try a full uninstall and re-install with version 13.30.

    Thanks. I'm scheduled to bring it to Lakeside Toyota tomorrow for the 10k service, and I've requested the TSB also. If they don't do it I may take you up on your offer. :hattip:

    Ran about 150 miles on the 93 performance tune. Best the truck has ever driven, power is on tap with the right foot. Idle is smooth and quiet, 2>1 shift has zero clunks, mpg was 19.8-20.8 over three trips. All stock with an ARE cap.

    Great work Mat Wilson.

    I used the 13.30 first go round with your instructions. Everything loaded perfect. Never asked me for registration to access my settings for the truck. It would not allow me to open the CUW file in any way shape or form. I tried multiple ways.

    I then uninstalled 13.30 and tried the 12.10?? version . I could connect and access all settings again. When asked for the key(opening the CUW file), I copied and pasted, and clicked OK. The pop-up box would close, then immediately re-open asking for the key again.

    Since then I completely wiped all versions of TS from my laptop lol. Along with all installers and such. I have yet to try another attempt lol
