    a few...
    I just received this email from Matt as were still trying to get my purple dongle authenticated. I have tried his instructions in the quoted paragraph below and sent him a follow-up email as I’m not able to find the registration key he’s looking for and also I do not know where to get the PCM flash files. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would like to provide Matt with this information also.

    “run grdtru, make sure it is on resume session

    click browse and select this file, it should generate an answer key. Then exit the software

    run pcmflash and send us the dongle serial number”

    For dongleless, can I identify my ECU before I receive the registry file, or is identification dependent on the registry file?

    I think he was asking if we can identify the ecu without the registry files so we can go ahead and send that info to you as well while we’re waiting on the registry. File.

    I think that's a yes.. I received the OBDII cable and I sent the email with my system id code. Just not sure if I need to wait before connecting to the truck to determine ecu

    Ni Ho mah! Matt
    Just sent sys id
    Can’t wait!

    Is that a typo on pg 5 of the institution pdf?

    Last word on page “ PCMFLASH”
    Should that be : p5flash.exe
    Or : Toyota_Flash_Manger_V1.09R.EXE

    just for clarity
    Thx

    my Bad.... forgot to download both tools on the list

    Question..... is V1.09R the latest version?
    (I don't see any files in update folder)
    latest flash.jpg

    And this is why "sport mode" on automatics is garbage (most). The transmission still only shifts when the computer tells it to. Like drive by wire, user input is only a suggestion.

    Ok I’m trying to figure out what I did wrong.. in the flash manager my “interface” drop down box is blank. The only thing it shows is my system ID# below. Is it suppose to be like this?

    It’s in the instructions. Just following it carefully.

    Correction: updated instructions.

    Yes I believe so. Do I have to manually extract them to the p5flash?

    But if they missed it, might be why interface is blank.
