Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

I have had this happen too but from a dead stop. Truck reved up to 4K I’m first and shifted to 2nd and fell flat then lurched forward. Have only had it happen once in 1k miles since tune.

 

Has anyone recently installed all drivers and flash manager for the tune using the dongle?
Every link I find for the Toyota flash manager download either Doran’s work or no longer exists
I kow I was supplied with one From yotadriver but that was for dongleless setup
Idk why this is giving me such a hard time
I’ve sent all the necessary numbers and codes to Mat
now all that’s left is running PCM flash manager to get my dongle serial number but I don’t know where to download it
And the file I have says that there is a virus and it doesn’t work

 

the first post has a guide, make sure all antivirus is turned off also

 

I know
That is for dongle-less tunes
I would go dongle-less but I’m tuning 2 trucks and have one computer

 

Really glad 1.05 releases before sep. 1st since I'm going on a nice 800mile road trip on the 1st

 

You need to stop the antivirus from scanning the location of where you plan to keep the PCM flash manager...and you need to do this BEFORE you download any of those files. My AV was deleting the PCM Flash manager (meaning it was NOT putting it into quarantine - it was strait up deleting it as soon as it was downloaded before I could even think of using it).

Once you've disabled the AV, THEN you'll have to re-download the PCM flash manager (and probably all of the other files just to be safe).

 

When I go into the mcafee everything is turned off

 

I had the same problem with Norton. I disabled Norton for an hour but it would still delete it. I swear I had disabled everything I could just short of un-installing it! lol Eventually I had to Google it, but basically I had to go deep into the scan settings and add a rule so that Norton would not scan the folder that I was putting all of my OVTune files in.

Since then, I have never had to worry about Norton doing anything to my OVTune stuff...meaning that I don't have to mess with Norton AT ALL when flashing my truck.

 

And windows defender, it must also be all off.

 

Everything is off
I managed to download the flash manager, when I plug I managed to download the flash manager,then software pack then flash tools
I can’t seem to get any further on the instructions they show a page that I can’t even access how do I get this?

 

It's a stock tire/rpm issue. The truck tried to change to a gear it couldn't and said no, I've had it once too. He's fixing for us.

 

People... if you have McAfee or Norton installed.... uninstall it. It's useless. If you paid for it... unlucky.

*an IT guy*

 

If somebody would be willing to remote access my computer via team viewer I would be forever grateful
I bought this computer literally to tune my truck that is it otherwise I am a Mac user

 

WTF? As an "IT guy", you should know that's not a true statement. Don't spout misinformation like that...

 

Misinformation? Both of them are utter garbage nowadays
I know this because I deploy AV's daily.

 

Ditto - and I would actually pay for this service... beer, cash, whatever, I just want the tune done - I've got too much other stuff going on right now to deal with it.

 

T-sb-0062-18 ecu update is for 16 to 18

 

Was hard to modulate with the tip in on 1.03 but don’t have that problem unless I turn ATRAC off on 1.04

 

I've been using Norton for years and have NEVER had a problem

 

Not for me, when it's raining and turn out of my driveway, hit the gas, traction kicks on. Then when I take a turn onto a slight incline and hit the gas to go up the incline, tire spin again
