Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

still a no go, says VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found. tried both download links.

man...this is frustrating.

 

I'm a Mac user and only use an old Windows 7 laptop for stuff like flashing. The world would be a better place if we could use an Apple computer for these things.

 

Confirmed this works for us 32bit x86 Windows users! Heading out for a quick test on the 87 Base tune now

 

I don't know how people are having so many issues. I've run flash manager on both vanilla windows 7 and windows 10 with no issues.

 

install this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads (x86: vc_redist.x86.exe)

it should solve your issue.

 

Yes all links everywhere (EXCEPT in the PDF instructions) are updated.

 

that did it! thank you! now what the heck does FOB mean???

 

Read the blog. For manual.

 

Please let us know how it compares to the previous base 1.05 version, very curious

 

Full Otto v. B
only for MT

 

Its Alive..... Thank you Matt Wilson.... Now are these 3 1.05 base tunes the same ones from last release for 04A61?

 

So for old Dongle users...
got all the tunes downloaded now, and since PCM flash is built in to the new flash manager, do I still need to download/update the drivers and such from Dongle instruction PDF?

 

You just need the new pcm flash

 

They are the more recent version of 1.05, not the original. You def want to install.

 

NOTE: FOR ECU VERSIONS (AUTOMATIC) 04A60, 04A61, 04B02 and 04B03 PERFORMANCE AND GEARLOCK FILES ARE STILL PENDING UPLOAD. They will not be downloadable quite yet! We are working on getting them up asap.

What is the time line for these files to be dropped?!
Days?
Weeks?
Month?

 

WOW is all I have to say! The 87 Base tune is Night n Day difference from Stock, you give the truck some gas it goes without any hesitation what so ever. Tested the 87 Performance tune, and hot dam, you can chirp tires all to easy

Now given I live in the mountains, and have a stock Off-Road truck, ill be sticking to the 87 Base tune for now just due to the ice on the roads
Solid work @OVTune

 

For anyone who lives in ice/snow covered area, be very gentle with 87 performance.
Can’t wait to try this more on the highway!

 

It opens a newer version that I had when just using flash manager so I think nothing is needed once you have newest flash manager and hit install all software thats per instructions. Haven't flashed yet but looks like I will be able to no problems. If this actually works by just downloading the flash manager only and all drivers and flashing software is built in, this will be the slickest, easiest, to date!

Any idea on gas mileage on performance 87 vs base 87?

 

Question for dongle users. Previous the flash would take 5+ mins. This time utilizing PCMFlash via FM the flash is taking what appears to be less than one min. This normal? States it completed successfully but not unsure if the update truly happened. Truck starts up.

 

No you just flash using the new PCMFlash
