Unfortunately this temper the enthusiasm and hope that issue be resolved easily without involving dealer. Assume you have already tried to disconnect battery to reset completely the system.
ODB port is TTL signal and normally you have not any risk on an electric point of view except with an adaptor default. The problem occured during reading the original file or during transfert of modified file? I'm quite sure that Tony could recommend you . Regarding the hardware is it Tactrix box or Ecutek ?, I know the Ecutek as used on my GT86 but it was done by a well-known tuner in France
. I cross the finger for you

OK Sheddy, but with Tactrix 2.0 it is certainely B..B.. which allow reading and writing for the 8ARFTS 2.0T i.e for your IS or my RC.
On the other hand it is clear that : Attention! At this moment there is not any recovery tool. Any power troubles or loosing connection while writing will result in damage to the ECU. Please ensure you have stable conditions for reflashing. All your actions are at your own risk!
I think it is important to keep this information in head. I dont really understand the necessity to be connected if you have the dongle and the correct module.

hand held programmers are vehicle specific (can't be passed around and used on other cars) so the developer's property is protected.

Hey guys havent been here in a while since i post my dyno numbers, i did a catback exhaust a couple days ago!.
i talked to my mechanic friend he told me that the wise thing to do is get the Tom's (we all know that they are one of the best tuning companies for toyota) right now i have the VR tune but i wanna run a trottle controller and i don't know if its compatible. So bottom line seeing what happened with Nuke makes me think about maybe wait for a hand held device or something safe because lets be honest nobody wants that kind of problem with an almost brand new car.
getting the downpipe might be an option too the question is would it be safe to run a downpipe without a proper tune with it along with the piggyback? what are your thoughts on this ?
Thanks!

ture but the maturity of this tune is still questionable at best and not allot of RnD is focused on producing handheld tunes but rather the tune it self since we are literally just scratching the surface with this huge 2MB ROM

what happened to me is unfortunate but its the only way this tune will mature, customer and tuners will learn as this is an experience, TTI is focused right now on foxing my ECU and they will look into simplifying things if possible, meaning that they acknowledge things and this is how we learn.
bottom line is I suggest to still go for the tune but just wait a little while, I think tuning boxes have their own risks and own downfalls so nothing is perfect.

buddy I will be honest with you, tuning box is in no eay comprable to the tune the one thing lets make clear, other thing is regarding downpipe, i wouldn't suggest running a down pipe if your not tuning as I have done a dyno after installing the dp and it showed that the car was going lean on WOT as ECU is not expecting that much change and cannot compancate in time i guess ans that can only be fixed with a tune.
