It does not hunt like before. You can feel it downshift early on its own and stay in gears a bit longer. The first time you’re in traffic you will definitely notice the improvement.
The hard downshift is still there from time to time. If we have to choose between Lexus update and the VF TCU...
I’m still waiting for confirmation from VF Tuner if that has been addressed with the factory recalibration incorporated. It feels much better but still does it from time to time, not as rough as before.
Thank you!
I got everything installed and decided to make a video on the install process. The hardest part is getting the CAN connect cable plugged in. Software portion isn't bad, just need to take your time.
First Impressions are amazing. I can't wait to see how it does after a few hundred miles...
I'm finally getting ready to setup my tune. I just emailed my serial number in. I was reading through all the instructions and still have some questions:
1. Do we use the factory OBD2 only to read the ECU ID or will the CAN connector be used for everything?
2. Before flashing, how can I save...
They each have their own functions and do not integrate with each other. The modes on the AFE unit will do its own thing while the Lexus modes will modify other things like steering, suspension, and throttle response. I used to always use Sport on the aFe and Sport+ on the Lexus mode.
I haven't got a chance to make a video or post about it but adding the Kicker sub to the ML was awesome. Extra hard bass yet can be normal if you chose to dial back the bass knob. Looks like the price went up from last year.

I just received my tune in the mail yesterday. I looked at it briefly. Is this new CAN connection made to give you another OBD connection that uses the small OBD wifi plug?
That seems very similar to the ECUtek setup I have for my supra. Are they the same type of communication platform?
I see I was not the only one with aFe issues. I'm maxecutive from youtube. Lot's of recent life events kept me from posting recently... I just hit 17k miles and haven't had a single CEL since I took off their scorcher unit. The intakes and charge pipes are still there without an issue for...
I'm back and ready to make the switch to this tune. I read through the entire thread including the unnecessary entertainment! I just reached out to VF this morning with a list of questions. I apologize and should have read the thread first since I found many answers scattered here. My GX...
Yes, totally agree. I have been driving BMW ZF 8 speeds for years and it never gear hunts. I find the GX tends to do that a lot with pick up off the line even in "normal" driving conditions. The paddle shifters are useless to help slow down, it takes over 2 seconds for a gear change. The...
