    You can hit the TPMS Reset button. The problem is keeping the speed up enough to get the values to come back. I was only able to do that once when aired down. Like @Shellshock , I just live with the warning and keep an eye on the pressures.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    I mean it's just a light.

    Unlike having your hood popped, which gets you a light, a graphic, a ding, and then a flashing graphic. Yeesh

    So if Flash Manager is the old system and VF Tuner is the new software what should I download for a first time user? I have already downloaded this https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/ovtune/bin/ToyotaFlashManagerInstaller_1.0.4_x86.exe and sent in my info to get Flash Manager registered before my package comes in from OV Tune. Did I download the wrong thing and did I send them the wring info?
    Or.... is the download button on the OV Homepage what I was supposed to download?

    Can someone verify I downloaded the right thing and if I did not can you send me a link to the correct program to download please?

    What did you purchase?

    If all three options (vF, Tune Pack, and Tactrix), then yes. FM and vF will both work for you. FM will give you access to all previous Encrypted, Full Version tunes (P5F files). vF and the ECU ID that you unlock will give you access to the Editable Versions for that ECU (VFT or BIN files).

    Yes. You will have two requests to OVT. You will get a vF Master Key automatically based on your order. You send in the computer System ID to get a REG file that unlocks the FM and the Flash Tool. You will have to send in the ECU ID that you want for the Tune Pack.

    I purchased VForest Tuner, 3.5 Tune Pack, and the OBDII/Cable all from OVTune. So what ur saying is I did download the correct thing however I will need to download the VForest Tuner when I have the Reg Key.

    Is the Reg Key an automatic thing that is sent as soon as they receive payment or does that take some time to come in? I paid them on the 31st and I have not received any kind of Reg Key. Not in my inbox or spam folder.

    Scratch that. It is in my SPAM folder. Thanks for spelling everything out for me! I appreciate you taking the time to give me direction! This is not the first time either you have given me a hand.

    It depends what you want to do. If your going to edit files, then you would need vF. I believe that you also need it to flash VFT files? I have not tried VFT files with FM.


    No. Like I said, you have to request a REG key as it is locked to you computer System ID. It is all given in the attached instructions from ovtuned.com. Specifically, see Page 17.

    That is freakin weird!!! As we were texting back and forth. Just now. The registration key came in. The arrival time was 4 min ago LOL. Maybe OV was watching this thread and saw I had not received my reg key and sent it over....??

    No problem!

    Definitely keep an eye on the SPAM folder. Gmail has been a bit goofy lately.

    Has anyone done anything interesting with VF Tuner lately? So far what I have seen besides the tunes... adjust alternator output and throttle tables. What else are y'all doing with your software?

    Also I believe we found the problem with some trucks still limiting speed on the 5.29s,
    if you have 5.29s and are able to test this for us please send us a message zendesk / pm on here

    Also, any of you manual trans guys get this same speed limit problem?
