Is it the 2016 IS F sport version? I am waiting for RR to have the 2016 F sport version file. I will contact them again if yours is the 2016 IS300 F sport. Thanks.

what do you mean you're waiting for the F-sport version? There's no difference. An IS300 uses the 3.5 litre engine regardless of what option package it has. Yes mine is an F-sport 3, which has had tuning available since day of the tuner release when I purchased it.

I have the tuner but as of right now the 17 ecu will not link with the tuner I would have to send them my ecu or go on the dyno

The issue is Toyota uses many suppliers of ECUs for the vehicles not just one. The part does the same thing but are comprised of different components. My guess is RR Racing will run into an ECU they don't have on file and need us to send them the ECU to pull the needed information off it for DimSport (makers of the tuner) to add the needed functionality to their tuner. I had the same thing with my '16 RC300...I sent them the ECU and within 2 weeks of getting back I was writing the new tune file to my car.

yeah sounds like Minhael might be confused and waiting for nothing.

As of today we have almost all the 2016 IS/RC 300/350 files, but if in doubt, please PM us and we can check.

Update 7/22:

Getting emails on the SC kit and if its ever coming out.... and the answer is DEFINITELY YES. Some delays on our part due to the release of our RCF kit earlier this year, but just want everyone to know that our Supercharged 2014 IS350 Fsport is up and running well. We are completing our road and dyno testing soon, and then ramping up to really abusing the car at the track. We will post more info in August, once we can define an official release date.

thanks,

Rafi

Just wanted to share a video of "someone" with an RC300 AWD and the RR Tune. Hope this gives a good indication of what the tune can do for those with 300 models and the car set in auto mode. I will try to get a clip of the car in manual mode but that is reason why this clip shows the car not shifting at 7200 rpm.
