    07-08 Toyota Tundra

    I know I am going to get bashed on here for this. However, after long research I bought an 08 Toyota Tundra. The Tundra is Motor Trend's Truck of the year. With that said, there is really no one making any good software to tune with. Most of what you see is scanner software. I was hoping you guys will tell me you are developing new software for imports or any plans on getting into the market of imports.....especially the V8 industry part of it. The Tundra has the most powerful engine in the truck market and most part in the car market....It is the biggest seller in trucks.

    Have fun reverse engineering Toyota's ecu's. Toyota had to stop selling the trd supercharger for a while b/c all they had were piggyback controllers and Toyota would not pay someone to "remap" the ecm for forced induction. They wouldn't do it in house either

    lol.....sounds like it would be easier to re-wire it and install an LS1 ECU than to go through all of that......that is if you hell-bent on tuning it.....but if your going to go that far.....go after market fuel management.....

    Something tells me that a tuning solution for Toyota is not going to happen for a while.

    Several months ago, an early output of camshafts in the 5.7-liter V-8 were failing. Toyota tells us they traced down all the affected parts to a specific batch of several thousand and have since made the corrections to the design. More recently, there have been some reports of transmission shudder under certain low-speed conditions, which dealers have traced to a torque converter issue gee truck of the year lol

    No tuning but you should be able to scan most obd2 vehicles with the newest beta, if you'd care to test it out on some foreign vehicles shoot support an email with your serial number & the subject generic obd2 scanning beta tester
