Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

I got the same Mega.nz link with no file but figured mine was up to date since it was the same one noted on the first page. Flash Manager version 1.09R

 

Cost of living largely only matters to me when the rest of the benefits of living in an area do not justify the expense. Such as the area where i grew up in CA. All it's got going for it is the fact that i grew up within a few mins of the beach. Lol at any rate, 2A love will be a big factor in my eventual decision

 

Colorado is great for 2A. My wife and I both have CCW's. No permit needed to open carry in most of the state tho. I'm a member of a 2000 acre shooting range. Have too many guns to count.
Oh yeah, and anyone can carry condition one anywhere in vehicle legally. Your vehicle is an extension of your house.

 

Thanks, I was looking at the 1st page just now. I was following the link in the email I was sent.

 

I did the same thing, there is no rush to send in the number since they are closed until the 10th though

 

I clicked on a picture of the different sequence of windows on the 1st page and the name was "toyota tune" or something close to that and the label at the top of the windows on my computer is "toyota flash manager.
Closed til the 10th, guess I'll have to wait another week. I work a ton of hours and have no extra energy during my work week. Just work 10 days straight covering a vacation, like 140 plus hours. Was toast yesterday when I got home.
I was super excited to get this installed today, guess another week won't kill me, journey, not desination!

 

Mega server is just to check for flash manager updates, if folder is empty move to next part of instructions

I will be "closed" but will still send updates when I have internet

 

I may need "retard" phone service next week, I searched my lap top for the P5Flash.exe file and couldn't find it.
I'll pay extra, I know this is going to be huge if I can ever get it down loaded! I hope you are closed for some quality time off or developing the 1.05 release. Either way, you deserve it.
On a side note, is your tune compatible with the Hypertech speedometer reflash?

Thanks

 

Check TSB for faulty crank sensor. Sounds like that issue

 

damn... scary stuff man, that's one "quirk" I've not had stock or any version
of the tune. I'd go with the last post above and get the CPS checked out, definitely not safe.

 

Agree this is likely the culprit. I’ve only had this happen a couple of times but I nearly got sucker punched by my wife when we were driving through Atlanta in Friday rush hour a few weeks back. I went to change lanes in crawling trafffic to overtake someone. I didnt punch it too hard but I did give it some gas and it threw both of us forward and she happened to have the glove box open and things went flying. Only has happened a couple of times though

I have just put on slightly heavier (though same size as stock) tires that weigh in 6-7lbs heavier. It’s not much but will be interested to see if the bit of extra weight makes a difference there

It’s not the CPS

But.... tons of miles on 1.04 and I love every minute of the drive! Driving across 40 through the mountains - effortless, smooth acceleration and cruising!

 

I'd just like to mention that this is the first and only time it has done this so far, I've put thousands of miles on 1.04 in that time.

Sounds like OVTune has a a plan to deal with it, thanks Mat.

 

Can someone describe the ping a little better. Haven't had an issue, just want to know what to look out for.

 

Also just filled tank with 91, getting ready for new tune this weekend

 

Awesome, that is good to hear.

 

First good drive on 87 flash. MPG went up.

 

I’ve had this problem once and I was informed that If you floor it and your tires start slipping with traction control on, the engine will cut power. When that happens it feels like the truck is slamming on the breaks.

 

If my truck is breaking traction on a 93f dry sunny day on a Florida highway at 60mph I'm going to be seriously happy haha

 

@OVTune So now with registering the "device ID" ; what happens when your device breaks or gets lost or you upgrade? You now no-longer can use OV tune without repurchasing?

 

I believe that this has been answered previously. IIRC - Contact OVTune and they will register a new device.
