Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

I dont remember windows defender flagging this before. I recommend you guys turn it off for this

 

Turn off windows defender and try again

 

My Windows 10 updated and windows defender flagged pcmflash. It quarAntined the file in fact. I restored it and then added a file exclusion for the pcmflash executable and it flashed it just fine.

 

I noticed there problem when I couldn't find the pcmflash.exe on my pc. I tried to download it and that's when I noticed Windows defender flagged it as a trojan. I turned off defender completely, downloaded the file and flashed. Then I turned defender back on

 

not only should windows defender be turned off for the install,but should any kind of security for the short time ?

 

Since we're now at 1.02 and no longer alpha, does this mean future updates are chargeable?

 

I turned off the firewall also. I just run defender and the firewall.

 

YES. last thing you want is any popups/firewall/anti virus/ etc popping up during a critical firmware upload.

 

Shhhhhhhhhh

 

Yay! Order #2053!

Wish I hadn't missed the labor day sale .

Now I just need to find a friend with a laptop.

 

Uploaded the tune and just drove 15 miles. Here's my review: HOLY.FUCKING.SHIT. The truck absolutely should have came form the factory like this. Shifts are butter smooth and the truck just feels faster overall...Even around the neighborhood, I had to keep hitting the brakes because the truck just wanted to go. Stabbing the throttle from a dead stop only has a slight hesitation before it climbs through the RPM band effortlessly. I drove with ETC on the whole time and also switched back and forth between D and S. Manually shifting in S mode really shines as shifts are noticeably faster with very little lag (if any). When you manually shift into the next gear, it's damn near instantaneous. All in all, 1.02 builds upon the last revision and I'm extremely happy so far. Mat, you single-handedly made me decide to keep the truck. @OVTune, you rock!

 

Any luck yet?

 

i realize there's instructions for the install and it sounds like some of the steps have been removed or shortened , but is there a video out there of someone going through the whole process ? i'm sceered

 

we'll get him sorted out tomorrow on it.

 

Nope, giving up tonight. Mat's helping behind the scenes, but not looking good right now.

 

I hope that some day this can be loaded on a handheld device like a Cobb Accessport. Then we won't need a laptop and won't run into the problems with Windows defender.

 

Beggars can't be choosers.. but I agree.

 

x2 on my short ride.

 

Drove the truck for 40 + miles and no WoW impression for me. I can tell the difference on D mode as the lugging is less noticeable, but that's probably because the "learning" has been reset... ECT is somewhat not there as I can feel it pull on the 1.01b. Huge difference for me was on the freeway, it will pull when I floor it. I want to give the tune a little more time to adjust just like the 1.01b. When 1st install 1.01b, I wasn't really impressed until after 1-200 miles, that was when I was really impress with the tune. Hunting season starts for me this weekened and i will be putting 500+ miles on it. Will be back for reviews.

 

1.02.. will hopefully be testing tomorrow
