I installed mine on my 2007 odyssey almost 5 years ago. Absolutely no issues and it was one of my best purchases ever. It enhanced my driving experience immediately
Nice video. Mine is on order now. Just wanted to tell other owners that have Honda's with similar engines to check the Air Intake Hose as it has cracks due to VCM high temperatures. I changed mine yesterday, the RPMs are solid now, no more flickering and dancing on the dashboard. An easy $20 fix (short term) along with the VCM disabling (long term). 2011 Honda Odyssey with around $130K miles.
Thank you for your comment. My air intake cracked a long time ago and had to change it. Easy fix. I am 246K miles now. The ride feels better after disabling the VCM.

*VCMTUNER II MANUAL - Avoid Check Engine light (P0118) code on installation - It is recommended you turn off the vehicle, pop the hood latch and leave the hood open some 15-30 minutes without the key in the ignition before installing the product. If you have a push button start, keep the keys some 30+ feet away from the vehicle, otherwise the ECU may be in an accessory on-state and throw a p0118 code. After some 15-30 minutes, the vehicle ECU will normally stop monitoring the ECT circuit and no code should be generated while you install the VCMTUNER II. It is possible to receive a check engine light on some models if any portion of the harness is removed while the ECU is still activated; the computer will see the circuit disconnected and throw a CEL code in some circumstances. If this does happen, the code will clear itself at a later time. If you have a code reader or scanner, you can clear the code at your convenience.*
Have a 2013 Honda Accord EXL V6 and can't get the original cord disconnected. Cut my hands up trying to get it out for over a half hour. Already took the engine cover off. Any tips?
@@juniorsaldana9444 You may not know but the trick with these devices is that they set the coolant temperature at 74C so the computer never triggers turning off cylinders. I recommend the VCM Tuner II since on top of setting the temperature to 74C, it also continues to monitor the coolant temperature just in case something happens.

You mean the place where you hang the device? If that is the case, I would just look for a place where to lock it place or even maybe Velcro… I don’t know. You just need to keep it away from the engine’s heat
@@johnnguyen8535 leave the green wire disconnected. I think it was for diagnostics. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks. It will help me on doing more videos like this. I am regularly fixing things around the house and adding videos about it.
Yes. I got the P0118 and cleared it out. It never came back. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks. It will help me on doing more videos like this.
@OldManFrank this is a 2013 Odyssey with no push start button. But I guess I didn’t wait enough time and got that error code. I didn’t have any problem erasing it. It hasn’t come ever since.
@@gotitdone *Ah. Yeah. The manual says you can clear the code or it will most likely clear on it's own. My Mom's 2015 - 2017 Odyssey has the push button start. I am hoping to get this installed on her Odyssey this Summer.*

Thank you for your comment.

I recommend creating an account with this site and having a PayPal account pre configured, so when they release the limited stock on Mondays you quickly buy one. Another idea is to check Facebook marketplace for one
All you need is the plugs and a cheap resistor. I'm not sure why they started adding power to them as they are already powered from the ecu. Either way, all you gotta do is unplug them, make a jumper with a resistor inline and plug it inbetween the connection to the vcm sensor... look at the cheap vcm delete kits on Google. They will show you what resistors to use.
@@jc9233 *I believe this device is more plug and play than the devices you are speaking of. VCMTUMER II = plug in without having to worry about finding the right resistor and it will auto adjust if needed base on temperature, etc.).* The cheap plug/resister setups I have seen online = you will have to find the right resistor (trial and error) to works without issue and in some cases you may have to switch the resister based on the seasons. Also, the cheaper products may not with stand the engine temperatures and the cheap plastic and connects can burn, etc.*
I bought this one: www.vcmtuner.com/products/vcmtuner-ii-honda-3-5l-i-vtec-disable-vcm-eco-mode I added it to the description. Thanks. I am so glad it helped you.
