Toyota of Lake City! After some early miscommunication with the service advisor, it all ended up working out fine.Which dealer? Let us know if they screwed anything up.

you will lose your tune, I verified that with my dealership.Ecutec flex fuel tuned here, I think I’ll wait and see ?
Unless the Supra tech at your dealer is really bad, it seems like standard procedure to hook it up to a charger. They did that for my buddies and I at all our local dealers when changing the oil. Since they have to hook things up to it.Hope that batteries don’t die from the recall upload. Watch all the battery warning lights come on after the update lol
Your assuming these guys know anything about the Supra. My dealership thinks the Supra uses the same oil as all the other Toyotas.Unless the Supra tech at your dealer is really bad, it seems like standard procedure to hook it up to a charger.

Well then I'm properly screwed because the one at my closest dealership takes >3 hours to change the oil. Guess I'd better clear a week for this update and expect a battery replacement as part of the process.Unless the Supra tech at your dealer is really bad, it seems like standard procedure to hook it up to a charger.

It took ~2 hours to change my oil and I was watching the tech do it from a window into the service bay in the waiting area. It just seemed like he had to walk to different ends of the service area to grab different tools, computer, oil, filter, etc. He wasn't hanging out or chatting around with others. Spent a lot of time on the laptop and just overall inspecting different parts of the car beyond just an oil change. AFAIK, he didn't notice or see that I was watching.Well then I'm properly screwed because the one at my closest dealership takes >3 hours to change the oil.

I agree that the dealership as a whole - they don't know jack about a Supra (or half of the cars they must sell/service) - but the only important thing is the Supra tech knows what he/she is doing. That's the person you need to be concerned about - asking anyone else is utterly useless unless they deal with more Supras - which luckily my service center has seen more than a few.Your assuming these guys know anything about the Supra.

Meaning I would then just reflash with my tune? Or I’d be fucked? I had unlocked ECU. Didn’t even need bench unlock.you will lose your tune, I verified that with my dealership.
you'll probably need a bench unlock.Meaning I would then just reflash with my tune? Or I’d be fucked? I had unlocked ECU. Didn’t even need bench unlock.
So many unknowns with this recall flash fix. Really waiting for some sicko with a 2020 tuned with Ecutek to take theirs in. I'd like the full screen CarPlay but I can do without it if its going to lock me out and I'm not paying for it either through bimmercode.
Thanks for the info on the lock aspect. When Marin gets back to you do let me/us know how things shape up.100% chance any previously tuned or unlocked car will need a bench unlock to be tuned again after getting the recall. This happens any time Toyota connects to the OBDII port for an update. The recall includes an update for full screen apply car play.
Depending on your state, holding out may be only for a limited timeframe due to the fact that they can hold registration renewal for any outstanding recalls.
You will need a new ecutek license (which I've heard will be free if due to a recall such as this). It will be dependent on your particular tuner on how they deal with the unlock and license. Waiting for my tuner (Marin) to get his recall done so he can figure out the next steps will be for his clients.
