VF Tuner ECU/TCU Tuning for the GX550

[VF Tuner]

Sounds good! Order placed. Will be interesting to see the difference between this and the JB4 piggyback I've been running for 10k plus miles.

When the car goes in for service, does the tune need to be removed prior?

The tune does not need to be removed.

Perfect. Now to find a Windows laptop between now and when the kit arrives.

Does the calibration do anything for the sluggish throttle pedal? I'm running a Pedal commander to get rid of the slop, but if your calibration accounts for that, I'll be able to remove all piggybacks.

Thanks again.

We recalibrate the requested torque, which in turn changes requested throttle

You will see a big difference in response at all rpm.
I would recommend removing the throttle controller

Does the CAN cable connect to the laptop via USB type A or C? Trying to determine what kind of inexpensive laptop I need to pick up. Not sure if you guys have people doing the flash via Macbooks using Vmware.

Depending on how old your mac is, you might not be able to do vmware/parallels, and I'm not sure if I'd go down the route of trying to run x86 windows on arm mac processors for such a sensitive software

USB A, but usb-c to usb-a convertor/hub should be fine

I used an older Dell rugged tablet and things went well

@VF Tuner What's the typical ship time after an order is placed? I put one in early yesterday morning.

Sorry about that, I updated the site. We have 50x+ CAN connect components in stock. It would ship with your order.


Note, we won't be able to ship pending orders until thursday because we are completely snowed in.. (in May!)...
