    Toyota upgrade chips and warranty ??

    I bought the new 2014-2015 TRD vigo auto, pretty happy with it drives well and pulls nicely for a little 2.5 ltr.
    But of course I would like a little more, can anyone recommend a upgrade chip, Does Toyota offer a upgrade chip that doesn't void warranty ?
    Not interested in a full piggy back or major upgrades, just a plug and play unit.
    I would go to Toyota and check myself but out of country at the moment.

    Do they have after market chips for the avanza ?

    What about bluetooth modules that you can attach and query the diagnostics via a smartphone app ?

    I tried one called lemur blue driver but couldn't get it to work on a Australian commodore seems it only for north American cars there's a couple of others I might try later I will let you know if I get one to work.

    forgot to mention you need a driver for it no wonder it didn't work.

    I use a china spec bluetooth adaptor with my Ranger using Torque on my Android phone.

    Nothing to do with chips etc but I had a LPG engine conversion, done by an independant agent, but Toyota still honoured their engine warranty.

    Nah got rid of it, sold it to a drag shop who snapped the TKO gearbox box a few weeks later.
    Prefer something a little more comfortable and user friendly
    I don't think the wife has driven her car since buying the truck, have told her to sell hers and order another black TRD for me and she can keep the white one.

    Pretty much just a $20 toy but you can clear trouble codes. lots more info on your vehicle than what is shown on the dashboard.
