The problem I experienced was in DOWNshifting from second to first, as when you are decelerating as you approach a stop light or stop sign. This truck has a very aggressive downshift program (too aggressive in my opinion - should let you coast along in higher gears in Eco mode). When you are nearly stopped the truck jumps into first clunks and stutters and lurches a bit. It almost feels like you hit a big pothole and got a little bump from the car behind you all at the same time.

On a completely different note, I am very interested in your tuning package. I had it in my shopping cart but I'm waiting for someone else on this board to go first on this one!

Bringing this back up, Does the transmission tune address this downshifting issue when coming to a stop?

Is it possible for you guys to tune the VF tuner for the type of fuel used here in Australia? ie the premium 98? It's got a higher octane rating than that found in the US.

did they ever send you the CAN Cable after president's day? Is that the CAN cable that didn't work?

No they never sent the one promised overnight

Be patient. It’s an early market product.
VF tuning is former Orange Virus Tuning and have been around for some time and have done great work for the Toyota community.
It sounds like getting the dongle cable right has been mess but I’m optimistic they’ll get this figured out.

 

[monsieurvo]

Sorry to hear that mate. Hope you get a refund asap. These things ain't cheap.

 

[VF Tuner]

No they never sent the one promised overnight

Yes, we couldn't, because we were sent the wrong ones from Toyota. You were refunded.



In other news, CAN connects are being built, we expect to have everything wrapped up for pending orders to ship monday.

I believe this is similar to our 93 octane, if you mean 98 RON?

No I wasn’t. Still haven’t been

 

[VF Tuner]

No I wasn’t. Still haven’t been

please check again I verified again that it processed, shows refunded on our side.

Yes it's 98RON

 

[VF Tuner]

Yes it's 98RON

should be fine with our premium octane tune, we can add a 93 octane option to the tune package. That's no problem at all, it can just run a little more boost with 93.


All components are here, we are preparing now, several of you have pending tracking numbers, these numbers will update very soon.

I sincerely appreciate everyones patience. thank you for supporting us.
