If anyone is thinking of purchasing... may be a good idea to hold off for a couple weeks, or couple months.
With the amount of breakthroughs in the past half year, I'd wager we are getting dangerously close to an open source unlock.

How is it possible that people still somehow make excuses.

$3000 unlocks: "Too expensive, nope"

$1500 unlocks: "Too expensive, nope"

$500 unlocks: "I don't want to send my DME through the mail, nope"

$150 unlocks at a local shop: "I bet this will be free at some point, nope"

$000 free unlocks, done virtually by just whispering it: "I don't trust this because it's free, nope"

If they really wanted to, they would! That said, with everyone and their mother posting about new methods, something happened that's trivializing this...

I’m new to the tuning world but this looks like a great deal to me. $200 to unlock isn’t the problem now as there is a tuner shop around most corners within 20 miles. MHD around $600 so $800 total without too much hassle. Personally I’m weighting out my Pros/Cons mostly because I use the Supra for Costco runs and zero track use and Supra has the Toyota 10 year 100k miles warranty. Never had a tuned car before and we getting older my the years. My Toyota dealer doesn‘t care if Supra is modded as long as the issue doesn’t relate to the mod.

Supra does not have a 10yr warranty.

3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty, 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty

Yeah at this point there literally is no excuse to not unlock and run MHD/BM3. I know I'm definitely getting my unlock done this week if the shop 10 mins from me that has autotuner will do unlocks yet.

JB4 has been pretty good especially with a really refined Jesse E40 map, but there is no world where JB4 makes sense anymore if you don't already have it, and this coming about now ends any and all arguments I would make for JB4 even though I've been an advocate for it over the past couple of years. You're talking $600 for JB4 vs $750-$800 and an hour of your time to visit a local shop for an unlock + buying and installing MHD with the map packs, and that's not factoring in how you're going to end up either spending a ton of time making a JB4 Map 6 or spending hundreds for a custom map 6 because the JB4 OTS maps are ass.

It'd be neat if someone came out with an unlocker tool for cheap that you can do yourself at home thus fully ending shop reliance, but you're gonna save what maybe $100 at that point? I don't think waiting potentially months to get a better driving experience out of your car is worth saving 100 bucks.

I bought this from Toyota. 10 year/100k. So far I have had the starter and the oil pump replaced.

Got it, you bought extended coverage then.
