Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

That is honestly amazing. Because "danger danger danger" is what we post around here also.


The T case and CVs gotta be way stronger than we give them credit for, esp with you hooning it on TTs to boot.

 

if something was going to break in 4H it should have by now.
I've been doing full boost launches, getting groceries, parking in tight spots (not fun, but doesn't break)
100+mph freeway sprints, etc etc etc
400+ miles, truck drives like a dream.
I've even done U turns, dry pavement.

 

That is seriously excellent. Honestly, thank you for abusing the fuck out of it. I know that auto manufacturers do the same and worse, but we never get to hear the tales.

 

Freebie from Apple.

 

That's a lot of tire skipping in those tight turns

 

That just the sound of hard fought beliefs being broken.

 

Just shocked. Like others have said, I’m glad you’re beating the snot out of it.

 

Oh cool, did not know that. So how much does a copy of Windows for Mac go for these days? Or is there a free version that comes with Bootcamp?

 

Don’t quote me for specifics, but I did the boot camp install for free, then downloaded Win10 from MS directly and declined to register. I’m sure I’m missing some functionality etc, but it works for me since all I need is a win OS to run OVTune. I also set the connectivity status with WiFi so I don’t always get the damn automated win10 downloads. My laptop is never wired so that seems to help avoid win10 updates.

It’s been a while, so hopefully some tech gurus can chime in with current knowledge and specifics.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

So much good info on the site if you’re okay with wading through some of the muck. Hopefully the more knowledgeable tech guys can post up a quick how to for your.

 

I did the same thing. If you don’t activate windows, it just stops giving you updates (which I have disabled anyway). The only thing I do is run the tuning software then reboot to macOS.

 

If you want to sell a BUTT LOAD of these get the CARB. Simple. Done. $$$ and everyone is happy.

 

This makes my decision easier. I’m assuming the OBII cable is a usb connection to the computer? I have a MacBook Air, but I have the adapter to go from the computer to usb.

 

Correct

 

Ok cool, thanks! I’ll probably have more questions along the way lol.

 

CARB?

 

The expensive California stamp of approval

Whatever happened to that trending urban rumor that several of the OEMs (Toyota, Ford, GM, etc) were going to tell California "Sorry, just not gonna do it any more" and build non CARB compliant cars across the board.
