    Not quite. As King of Shit, you get a thoroughly limp handshake. Comes with extra cringe.

    That's the pain/pleasure of being an early adopter.... twice the fun at twice the price. For as infrequent as I expect to flash once Performance and Gearlock are out, I'll suffer through with a wired connection.

    So I got VF Tuner installed and received my tune files (un-editable of course for now) for my 2018 AT OR Tacoma. I have been running a ShiftSense trans device (developed to address the terrible trans ECU logic) as well as the Sprint Booster which allows me to set the throttle curve the way I like it. Last but not least I also have the ECT always on option for towing. With these three devices my Tacoma has been good minus the fact that they of course do not add power but do make what power you have more real-time accessible for sake of argument. I tow a bass boat, do some slow off-road crawling and of course use it for daily use. I had no unrealistic expectations of these flash tunes and made the purchase of the VF tuner so in the future I can create my own files. As it stands I want 3 switchable files depending on if I am towing, crawling or doing daily driving.

    I have installed the regular stock flash tune and did the 200 miles to let things settle in. Since then I have tested with just the ShiftSense and flash tune, Sprintbooster and flash tune and now the ShiftSense, SprintBooster and flash tune. I like all three together along with ECT on when towing. These three devices for now allow me to tailor my driving experience depending daily driving, crawling or towing.

    If switchable tunes is made available to us via a switch then I should be able to sell my ShiftSense & SprintBooster. For now no way.

    Disclaimer - This is just my perspective for now. I enjoy the new tune for what it is and I plan to run the premium flash when the TX summer heat calms down a bit.

    Okay, I cannot figure out how to get Techstream installed. I'm to the part where it says to enter the new key, which I used the act.exe to generate and put the NA key in which I figure to be North America. Wi-fi is off, when I click on the Software Registration button, it takes me to the TIS dealer page asking for a user name & password. If I click on the OK button, it takes me right back to the New Key registration screen and asks me for the new key again. I've attached a picture of the key generator screen & the TS new key screen. What am I doing wrong? I've not even had a beer yet so I wasn't fuzzy on things, again, I said yet. LOL I followed @tonered & @Shellshock awesome instructions, but am still banging my head, it's starting to hurt. If it matters, I'm trying to update my ECU from 04B02 to 04B04. Any help would be greatly appreciated
