Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Awesome!

Soooooo, what's stopping you from releasing 04B10, 04B11 and 04B12?

 

Sorry if I missed it, but can someone explain to me what the 04B10, 04B11 and 04B12 mentioned above refer to?

I think I know that 04B01, 04B02 and 04B03 refer to the OEM and two subsequent TSB reflashes offered by Toyota. But what are the 10, 11 and 12 about?

Thanks.................. Frank

 

Buddy just got a ‘18 T4R Pro - and it’s pretty sick! ...had I driven his after driving my stock ECU Taco I would be super jealous. With 1.01b and 93 octane there actually isn’t a ton of difference in power and throttle feel and the Taco handles slightly better, the T4R knows when and how to shift though... ! ;-)

 

@OVTune

For those of us 04B03 who received the serial activation but not the tune, ETA? Your earlier post suggest it would be ready Friday, but that didn't happen.

Not rushing, just want another update. You mentioned your availability next week will be limited, so are we waiting at least another 7 days?

EDIT:
I'd be happy to flash 1.01b / 1.02b while you iron out the gear shift.
Sitting here with activated PCM Flash and no tune drives a man crazy

 

those are the MT's ECU versions.

 

do you have to run 91octane with this tune or can you continue with 87?

 

@dYL0n ?

 

soon. but no 87 file yet.

 

Dammit!

 

Fine question, curious myself. Seems like us manual guys alway have to wait until all the auto files are out.

 

I mean, 1.02C is quite literally aimed at shifting behavior. It's not for a manual? So how can he release it for a manual? He's said some of the stuff he uncovered can be ported to manuals but I'm not sure why you guys expect him to drop manual and auto files side by side on a release aimed at something manual transmissions can't use.

 

And he needs an MT on the Dyno first...has said as much.

Chill guys.

 

1.02C includes more than the AT shifting.

 

Heres the thing, some of us MT guys paid alot of money for this and all some of us have so far is a serial key. Ive had my kit for 2 weeks now and have yet to see a tune file.

 

I fully understand shifting behavior is aimed at the autos. That's one variable us manual owners do not have to worry about. Therefore I would assume 1.02C would would be an easier tuned map for M/T owners. So yes manual owners are probably excited for an improvement over 1.02A/B. Remember most M/T owners paid the same price as the auto owners for the tuning solution. At the same time it seems the auto owners are getting more customer service...

 

Spill the beans!

 

We have the most problems, so by nature he would be spending more time tweaking the autos first.
OP mentioned the M/T's are cake compared to ours. but I assume he is finishing 1 before jumping to the other.
I know everyone is excited, and it's a hefty chunk of change to just be holding a dongle on your hand.. but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

 

Really?

 

Don't get me wrong, I get it. I'd have to truly say us Manual owners are patient. We are usually last to receive tune files. And from what I can see most M/T owners are a pretty understanding bunch.

 

Did I miss sometng? New dongles aren't preregistered anymore? Is that what the serial keys for?
