DIY Tuning Costs for the 2024+ Toyota Tacoma – Full Breakdown

[JustDSM]

We've seen much higher-than-expected interest in DIY tuning options, so we want to keep the community informed on what’s required to tune the new 4th Gen Tacoma with our calibration files. Here’s what you need to know.

Required Hardware & Costs

To flash the new ECU in the 2024+ Tacoma, you will need:

• VFTuner WiFlash Device
• VFTuner License (4G Lite)
• (4) License Credits
• VFTuner CAN-Connect Cable

This complete package is available directly from OTT for $950 USD w/ OTT Stage 1 Calibration Pack.

For Existing VFTuner Users

• VFTuner Legacy (Tactrix) devices are not compatible with the new platform. If you have a Legacy device, you will need to purchase the VFTuner WiFlash Lite Kit with Gen4 Flash Protocols:
  • VFTuner WiFlash Lite Kit
• If you already own a WiFlash device, contact VFTuner at [email protected]to inquire about converting your existing license to the Gen 4 Lite Kit protocols.
  • We do not have details on whether this is a free or paid upgrade, so please check with VFTuner directly.
• You will still need to purchase additional Licensing Credits for the new platform:
  • VFTuner License & Credits

VFTuner CAN-Connect Cable

• The Gen4 ECU cannot currently be flashed through the OEM OBD2 port.
• The VFTuner CAN-Connect Cable allows for easy plug-and-play integration, providing a secondary OBD2 port with no permanent modifications.
• Installation is simple—remove the kick panel and insert the connector in line with an existing harness.
• VFTuner CAN-Connect Cable

Calibration & Tune Packs

• The full suite of calibration files will be available in two ways:
  • Included with the full package purchase (all required hardware/software)
  • Standalone Tune Pack for those who already own the necessary equipment – $450 USD
• The Tune Pack includes all available calibrations and future updates for a single Calibration ID.

For more information or to purchase, please email [email protected].
