    Any info on how this will work? On the fly with a discrete switch would be cool, or even better a factory button combo of some sort.

    If we're to assume it's anything like the tune switching for the Tundra's, then @Mooseditty17 is likely correct, although I don't think we'll have that many options (would be nice! :rolleyes:). The Tundra's can/could switch by pressing the tow button.

    On the “stumble start” map switching tune that came out for testing in May 2020, the map switching is like this:
    Drive- base tune 2.0
    S mode- GearLock
    ECT- Performance tune/Tow tune

    There also was talk of having a switch—like the Cruise Control switch be a button to switch between maps.

    Mat should just make it voice activated. If you yell "GO FASTER" it switches maps to sport mode.

    Is that what ect currently does? Actually switches tunes or just references a different set of shift tables? I guess that is essentially the same thing.

    Is it possible to keep ECT as is, for towing and such and have another tune to switch to with a different button/buttons or is that beyond the capability of the ECU?

    So I finally updated to the latest version of VFtuner. My understanding was that it locks you to a specific ecu id unless you unlock another using more credits. I updated my truck to the newest tsb 04b33 before I updated VFtuner since we got free credits with the new update of VFtuner. I then followed the instructions to pair the program to my Vin. All went well. I then took the VFtuner program and tried to open the new kruiser tune for 04b33 (previous was 04b31). The program prompted me to buy more credits to allow me to open the tune. Am I doing something wrong here? I got the impression that the new program was a bit of a fresh start since we now are limited to one truck vin instead of ecu.
    Additionally under license information on the VF tuner program it says that my unlocked IDs are '04 b31
