Official Banks Power 3rd Gen Tundra Discussion

Pretty sure on the scanguage you can see the gear your in, I need to put the pid in and try it.

 

There's people representing Banks here and this hasn't been addressed?

 

They tried and released a v2.0, but the fit is still not good enough for me.

 

Well let’s hope with the new CarPlay they go to a CarPlay app. Then we won’t need to worry about fit and finish.
I was looking at another tuner that does have a CarPlay app. Gonna do more research though. Hoping banks does go that rate.

 

What tuner for inquiring minds? That would be sweet to have all the guages when towing on the screen instead of a scan guage or pod. Coming from the diesel world always had a 3-4 pod with egt,boost, trans and oil temp, then a scan guage on the wheel.

I want something more modern and streamlined.

 

If you have the digital dash, you can add the tow gauges on right hand side, includes trans and oil temp

 

I doubt they will being they just built the iDash Pro as an upgrade, I agree a carplay app would be much better and cheaper, but I think it's a lot harder to implement if Toyota doesn't want to cooperate.

 

Ya already have that, like seeing actual numbers though but it’s better then nothing.

 

Honestly Toyota would have nothing to do with banks creating an Apple CarPlay app

 

I checked on the upgrade cost posted in this thread, they're offering a 50% discount, I asked if there's any new parameters added for 3rd Gen tundras, the answer was no. I currently have the iDash Super Gauge and can only display trans oil temp for transmission category, that's really disappointing, so this upgrade does nothing for me other than adding bluetooth support for updates/config.

I'm checking into using an elm327 scanner with an android app to see if I can get the transmission gear and other parameters I want.

 

Jay from Banks here. Let's get you into a new iDash Pro. The update is more than just Bluetooth and a sharper LCD screen. For Tundra, we've added the PIDs below.

• Trans Gear (not just PNDR, but 1-6)
• Trans Temp
• Oil Pressure
• Oil Temp
• TC status

We are not able to add these PIDs to the iDash SuperGauge or iDash DataMonster because its memory is full. We tried. It won't accept more data. So, the Pro was necessary.

@223Wylde @matth66 Regarding CarPlay, we've discussed and probably will not pursue it because most enthusiasts prefer a dedicated gauge that's always on and ready without having to fiddle with the center stack. Like your speedometer, iDash is always on and displaying data. Plus, with CarPlay, we're limited to the whims and regulations of Apple. They dictate what actions the driver can and cannot take while the vehicle is in motion.

 

Ahhhh. Apple doing its apple things.

 

Are you sure this is for the 3rd Gens? 2022+? because they have 10-speed transmissions.

 

When will there be a firmware update that address the engine oil temp and trans temp reading the same?

 

Yeah Jay I think you are getting 2nd gens confused with 3rd gents. My 3rd gen with iDashPro and the latest firmware still does not show what exact gear I am in. Just shows 'D'.

 

The Car Scanner app will get you trans temp and gears .

 

@TacCoyote

Yep, see his post from earlier I just found. That update doesn't apply to 3rd gens.

 

I think so too, when I talked to Banks tech support yesterday, they stated no new parameters added for 3rd Gen Tundras with iDash Pro. Not only that, but they list different parameters for different trim levels here:
