OFT V2

Do you need to keep the OFT plugged in after tunning your car? Or will it lose the tune once you unplug it.

You can unplug it after you flash your ECU.

And every time you want to change your tune it'll replace the previous tune?

Yes every time you decide to flash your ECU again it will overwrite the map that was on it prior.

Keep it unplugged unless you buy an OBD2 extension cord with an on off switch.
When your OFT is plugged in, even when the car is off it still draw from your battery and can drain it

Also good idea to keep it out of sight when your car is parked Incase someone thinks it’s an iPad or gps and try to break into your car to steal it

Aight thanks. And I was wondering do you know what size your quad tips are? I'm planning on getting the TRD Kouki Rear Bumper and that requires me to change my tips.

No problem! Unfortunately my TRD kouki didn't come with the quad tips because it's a USDM model....
