Thanks.

You as well Juan, we're excited to get rolling on this asap.

Thanks

Great to see this coming along. On a side note, perhaps our legacy views are now moot and Toyota has come around to a more friendly OBDII interface( or the spec has forced it). Looking at the new TRD SC kits for the 5.7L 3URFE are now reflashed using the Tech stream tool. Maybe we have been looking at this incorrectly. As an ECE I have always felt that this was binary data and someone should do this. Look forward to the results.

EDIT: I just got a lot of info, this can be done no problem now. The industry and Toyota have come a long way guys.

Good deal, thanks for the replies!

FYI, all Lexi including hybrids are fair game. Toyota Tundras as well.

Thanks

If it works as proposed, I will certainly buy one. How one could get a backup ECU? How much could it cost? Thanks.

I can't say for sure until tomorrow when I get to the shop but I think that's a go as well.

I'm working on setting up a vendor account with a local Lexus dealer. I'll find out pricing and post it as soon as we get the greenlight.
ECU/TCUs for 63 AMGs are around $1600, but I give our customers the unit at our cost, or $1250 overnight shipped to you to swap and VIN synch.

Not sure if you'd know, but is anyone (legitimately) tuning the G35/G37s or any Infiniti models?

It would great if you could do this with ALL Toyotas...my son has a Scion xD that could use some help...

This would be great if it can happen, as I work for the Hawaii Toyota Distributor and very close with our accessory manager.
Please keep the updates coming!

I'm following this with interest. I'm curious if you can make the calibration switchable based on the setting of sport mode switch. Reason I ask is that it would be nice to have it be tame/normal until called upon.
