1) Download and install ECUFlash (download link)
2) Download latest USDM ROM file (download link)
3) Connect laptop to car's OBDII port via purchased Tactrix cable (link for purchasing above)
4) Use ECUFlash software to flash downloaded ROM to your car
5) etc....

I'm sure there's more to it than that, but I'd really like to give this a try and get the latest ROM on my FR-S without having to talk the local Toyota dealership into it.
Are there any videos on this? And basically how is it changing the car's computer to get the extra performance? I'm a tech guy, but new to ECU flashing technology and wanting to get into more performance modding instead of just appearance ONLY
