Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

I had asked this a while ago. I believe the dongle is tied to the truck, not the computer. If you just install the guardant drivers and run pcm flash it should work just fine.

 

Just flashed 91. 1.03 wow what was I doing on 1.04 . 1.03 holds 4 and 5 way better I'm sticking with 1.03.

 

That's a bummer , I go thru a laptop every couple years because something always craps out and I have NEVER had a laptop or operating system last for the 10 +years I plan on keeping my Tacoma . I would have hoped that once the dongle was registered , it would be good on any computer anywhere with the same truck . This should be addressed @OVTune .

 

This is what the new instructions say with the dongless app. It might be different with the dongle kits.

 

I'd say it's not a smart move either. I get a new computer every couple years as well or break them.

 

If you have the dongle, nothing is tied to the computer. You just need to reinstall all the drivers/software to the new computer and you’re good. As for the new dongleless tune I have no idea.

 

I’d venture a guess that everything is dependent on the ECU serial number.

 

Any registration keys yet?

 

Nope

 

5:17 am in Hong Kong right now.... hopefully only a few more hours

 

Mat's new instructions say the dongle-less kit is tied to the computer.
I'm glad I have the original kit.

 

Not too sure about that. My farts tend to linger a little too long in an airplane.

 

I am no longer a confused person lol I was reading about that and was thinking to myself that couldn't be right cause I've swapped computers. makes sense now

 

I know @bshammer0 has a review thread, this is for the taco owners not sure about this tune. Just did a short 50 mile interstate run at 75, mostly flat except for about 3 overpasses and had no wind to speak of. I'm on the 1.04 91octane and averaged 20.8 according to the on board, 20.7 old school filling it back up. Was using cruise the whole way, predictable & smooth. Light pedal input to get around slower cars without dropping a gear. Of course the power is there if I need to get horsey with it. I have gotten a stupid high mpg of 25.6 going into work in the mornings, no traffic and I was trying to go lightly to see what I could get. Thanks @OVTune, better shifting, more power, better maps and better mpg to boot!!!

 

You already know that we're both badgering Magnuson lol

 

So close, yet still so far lol

 

A lot of key files sent out.

 

Got it now

 

Just sent my ECU info....

 

Got my registration file and emailed the ECU ID....
