These OFT's are pretty rock solid easy to use and safe.

Their was no issue with the ROM flash car ran fine , it was just a monitoring issue as the template file was not installed.

Consider your other option would be a tuner in Oz who will charge you about $1000 for a tune and all you leave with is generally a LOCKED ECU with a tune installed, no means of re flashing or changing anything yourself and no ability to log realtime or to files or download ect or check your tune. If you wanted E85 tune or tune mods for headers pay again.



From OFT downloads site page

FRS/BRZ/GT86 Template file for Firmware 1.29 and up
This file updates the text and graphics on your OFT. If you are missing text for any reason, it's pobably because there was a firmware udpate and new text has been added to the OFT interface. To update, simply connect your OFT to your laptop and run the latest version of OpenFlash Manager. Go tot "Upgrade" section and selcect this file (you will have to download it first). Once you press "start" the process will take approximately 30 seconds. Simple as that!

Actually, they don't have do not cache set on their pages/menus so it's possible to never see that download page because they keep changing the URL and the menu sends you to the previous page which they don't remove from the server.

I don't think he's being harsh. 6 hours trying to diagnose isn't exaggerated, not to mention other people trying to help. All because the updates are applied automatically and unless you live on the forums you'd have no idea. In fact I DO live on these forums and still had no idea. Shouldn't be our responsibility to figure out why product no longer works after no action on our part has been taken
