VF Tuner Flash Tool
NOTE TO CUSTOMERS WITH MODIFIED VEHICLES:
The Magnuson calibration included with this kit is intended to work on stock
vehicle configurations, including stock trim levels and stock OEM vehicle
options. Modifications to your stock vehicle including, but not limited to,
engine, flywheel, clutch, torque converter, transmission, wheels, tires,
axles, gears, driveshafts, induction system, exhaust system and additional
weight (ie. bumpers, racks, etc.) can have a significant impact on your
vehicle’s calibration and may require modifications to our calibration as
supplied.
While we attempt to minimize the need for modifications during our development
process, it is impossible for our team to account for all possible build
variations/combinations, and in some cases it may be necessary for you to
supply an additional element of customization for your vehicle–custom
calibration–and to work, at your own direction and expense, with a local
service facility to address your unique combination of hardware and make
calibration adjustments as
necessary.
Please be aware that standard product warranties and governmental emissions
certifications are predicated on stock vehicle configurations, and vehicle
modifications and calibration changes may affect or even void powertrain
warranty and emissions certification status (such as CARB emissions
certification). It is the sole responsibility of the customer making a
warranty claim to prove that any vehicle modifications and calibration changes
were within warranty. It also is the sole responsibility of the customer to
determine if the modifications and changes comply with all local, state and
federal emissions standards.
*It is the responsibility of the customers/installer to make sure the vehicle is on the latest stock calibration from Toyota.
A laptop computer running Windows 7, 8 or 10 with an Internet connection is
required.
