    It looks like you have not installed the drivers. In FM, do these steps:

    No. Stock files are identical for everyone. There is one in FM and one in vF if you ever need it.

    Did you get the drivers to show up?

    There are full vF instructions on the OVT site under resources. I would link them, but my phone is not showing me the resources page.

    Don't bother with 1.05. Used the 2.0 Base versions here:

    Ah! It looks like you are in.

    Ignore 1.05. See the link above.

    Yes. 2.0 is not released in FM yet. For now, you need to use that link.

    It depends what your ECU is. Click Identify.

    If you are not 04B04 (latest for your MY), consider flashing the TSB from the thread in my signature.

    Even on the flash manager when I click instructions it shows that I must identify my ECU etc.. this is so God damn confusing

    Yep. Just like I said.

    From here, I have no idea what you have read or not read. I'm just answering your questions.

    Most of us have never flashed a tune before. It looks like a wonky process, but it will all become clear after a couple flashes.

    So I think what happened is I uninstalled FM and VF tuner. I'll now reinstall VF set it up. Click identify. Then choose my proper 2.0 files based on the link since they aren't finalized in FM yet... Correct?

    Yes. That is it for now.


    Note though that you can have current working versions of both FM and vF at the same time.

    You're welcome! Have fun with the new tune.

    It looks like you are 04B02. I would bet that you would notice the update to 04B04.

    The TSB updates made a big difference on my Taco.
