Thatās exactly what Iām wondering, if this version of Toyota ISTA would let me get a cluster or ecu to work. I donāt want to ever deal with Toyota service ever and rather just do everything myself.
Interested in going through all this and updating the software. I do have a question for those of you who have done this. Does ISTA allow you to code/program new modules to the car? For example is this the same software that the dealership would use to program a new ecu to the car?
not trying to purchase a pre 6/20 from Toyota. Like you said, thatās not possible.
letās say your dme got bricked for whatever reason. Toyota should be able to replace it and program it to your specific vin to work with your car/keys etc.
I believe it probably has to be a brand new dme thatās not associated with any other VIN.
A quick search online and seems like a new dme from Toyota for a 2023 MT is roughly 1300 dollars. Iām going to drop by the local dealership and see how much theyāll charge for programming a new DME.
Iāve been lurking here for a while and reading up on tuning. I have a MT and really want to have 2 DMEs (keeping 1 of them bone stock for back up, smog , if DME is lost/bricked).
I know that the MT DMEs are different and cant be cloned to <6/2020 unlock-able DMEs.
HOWEVER, I was thinking: What...
Iām interested in a new wheel. The first one with the blue stripe, could you make one without the stripe and the lower carbon fiber touch? Iād like a wheel which is closer to stock.
