vF Tuner for the 3.5L Tacoma

Just got my vftuner running on my laptop and unlocked my ecu (ob404). Has anyone played with Drivetrain Control - Tire Size? The ob404 stock file shows an initial value of 15.49. I am curious if this value has any impact on the speedometer/odometer.

I plan to play around with the alternator settings as well. Going to play around navigating through the stock file for now to learn this new software, until the AT 2.0 final tunes are released.

 

@OVTune tested fixing the speedometer and the answer was no he couldnt correct it for larger tires. The option for gears does eliminate the lowered speed cutoff that is present after regearing.

 

Thanks, I have read most of the posts in this thread but probably missed or forgot that one. Hard to retain all this information.

Pretty stoked for this software though, thanks Matt for continuing to develop and help us 3rd gen guys.

 

It may have been in the OVTune 1.05 thread. I was going to quote it but didnt find it here and didnt feel like looking anymore.

 

ETA End of July
- vF Tuner Wi-Flash Cables
- Flash over WiFi
- Datalog over WiFi
- all new logger in vF Tuner
- all new logger functions
- enhanced PIDs
- logger live graphs
- logger WOP recording functions (for dyno tuning)
and so much more features coming

 

Mmmmm, if this could replace my Kiwi3, I’d probably buy one.

 

ETA on AT 2.0?

 

How’s it compare to tatrix cable cost wise? Is it a big difference?

 

@OVTune I've always been randomly viewing these threads but never been fully active and always on the fence. A year ago I knew if I ever wanted to drop the $800ish I could just go to the ovtune site buy the dongle and pull the trigger...and boom, plug the shit in and upgrade from the laptop. Now when I look, I don't even know what to buy anymore. VF, tune pack, software.. no more dongle? Do I need something else? The process seems to have got more confusing. Maybe I've missed something but if there's a way to dumb down the process for the simple folk that would be greatly appreciated... because I don't even know what to even try and buy anymore. Yes I've seen the references page that talks of the dongle process, flip back to products and just end up confused. Sorry if I sound like an ass, but I just don't honestly understand what I'd need and don't feel like reading through the vast amount of pages on here. You're high

 

1. Buy the VF Tuner software.
2. Wait for his WiFi OBD reader (or get tactrix cable if you can’t wait)
3. <edit> For clarity, I should say here use the stock VF Tune provided by OVTune. <edit>. Download stock tune and tweak as necessary, or
4. Purchase tune pack to get the latest goodies and tune by OVTune himself 2.0 due out for everyone very soon

 

Thank you very much good sir

 

“Know your audience”

 

You will need to purchase the VFTuner+ the Tune pack and a Tactrix cable. OVTune is out of stock on the cable so source that directly from Tactrix.

ETA beat.

 

Winch, fridge, lights, and for me, HAM radio operator. I have an all-functions go-box of radio equipment I can rapidly deploy anywhere. 100W solar with additional optional 105W panel in parallel if needed, dual batteries, can run things for a long time without needing to seek alternative means of starting the truck. And for winching, the two batteries in parallel are easier on the system. Which is why I'd like to get my master key and reg file to tweak the alternator output... please.

 

I have asked he admins to create a vF Tuner sub forum under the garage forum. This will allow us to start related new tune threads there. The first one should be AGM battery tune.

 

Nice!

I was thinking about a Dead Pool post / thread for tackling folk's requests and solutions. Sort of an Offer Up for vF patches.

 

I'm all over that. I think we should add....Much like we see all over this forum "useless without pictures" the vftuner forum should be "useless without tune spec's (in detail)." just my thoughts. put it out there folks. We'll use at our own risk imo.

 

I asked @mjp2 and he is running it by the other admins. It may help if others sent him or other admins a request.

 

Agreed!

Until there is some check or rating system or some review by @OVTune , I would only run patches that I implement from others instructions. Just like folks are doing now with the AGM changes.

 

Will do.



Annnnd, done.
