or any possibility of this in the future.

on vag cars its one of the things that can be done with vag-com, would be nice here since the toyota software doesn't allow for it.

As of right now, we aren't supporting any diagnostic function other than ECU code reading/clearing. But as is the case with the BMW application, which has functions for clearing every single system module, airbag codes, TMPS codes, etc., we will be adding functions to the FA20 application time goes by. Hard to say what (and when) things will be added at this time though.

I believe so if you already on a C calibration. For example if you are on ZA1JA00C and you have a ZA1JA01C rom file you should be able to flash that. It has to be compatible though. In other words, if you have a ZA1JA00G you would not want to use ZA1JA00C.

1) Plug Tablet into your OBD2 port and read the ECU (takes 2 minutes)
2) Disconnect Tablet from car and plug into your laptop (via supplied USB cable).
3) Download your ECU file from your Tablet and email to us (email address will be provided in the supplied documentation).
4) Within 24hrs, we will provide you with baseline maps for you ECU type. At this time, this will be limited to Stage 1 and Stage 2. Stg1 is for a car with stock exhaust components. Stg2 is for a car with modified exhaust components. Maps for E85, race gas and boost applications will come in the following weeks.

The reign of $300 cable terror has ended!!!

Where are these available for purchase? I thought I saw a website at one point but can't seem to find it.

It's like 5 posts up from yours, but it is still early and some of us have not had coffee yet lol.

Vishnu Tuning has updated their website with the FR-S/BRZ/GT86 OpenFlash Tablet so you can order from THERE. They will be receiving the first shipment of units on Friday so they should start shipping out that same day.

Video instructions will be online within the next couple of days and I will create a new thread at that time.

Currently we will only be "officially" supporting US market 6MT cars. 6AT support will come shortly thereafter. And then non-US market support shortly thereafter. If you have a non-US market car and want the Tablet now, you can certainly install it, read your ROM and email it to us. Within a few days we should have enough of it defined to provide Stage 1 and Stage 0 tuned files. But it could take take several days if the ROM is considerably different than what we have seen so far.

You will also be provided with a download link for the Tuning Software which will allow you (or anyone else) to make unlimited tuning changes. But I suspect most users, unfamiliar with tuning, will probably just play around with simple things with launch control/Flat-foot shift RPM settings and Rev limit smoothing. But the ability to change any value in any defined map is there which should make any tuner very happy. Data-logging and on-screen data viewing will be enabled by the end of month as well. So those who want to get serious with tuning can either use another datalogging tool or wait until that feature is enabled in the OpenFlash Tablet. Datalogging is not going to be necessary for using the off-the-shelf Stage 1/2 maps as they are reasonably conservative.

That's it for now. Video and map editing instructions will come next.

Have a great night!

Before I commit to buying this, can OpenFlash supply the xdf for TunerPro so I can see exactly what is supported right now?

It will display these values realtime on its screen and store up to an hour of data on board (no laptop required). Then you can download the data to the laptop to export into our datalog viewing software. It will work exactly like it does on our BMW application:

This statement is what sold me finally. I'll be ordering shortly.

EDIT: Ordered.

And the reign of $500 programmers has begun. You still need a computer to tune. No reign has been ended. This product doesn't do anything that wasn't already available between EcuTek and BRZEdit. It just comes in a nice looking "Tablet". With that being said, I will be interested to see the results and posts from the early adapters who attempt to tune their own cars with it.

Actually it does. It makes un-encrypted maps available to anyone. Neither EcuTek Nor BRZeidt do that.
